Programs and Banks
You can use the
dump preset
,
dump bank
, and
dump all banks
commands
in the
global
menu to transmit the current program, bank, or all banks
in SysEx format via the selected MIDI port. This allows you to save
your programs so that you can share or archive them. You will need a
computer and software application such as SysEx Librarian for Macin-
tosh, or MIDIOX for Windows.
To export a program or bank as a SysEx file over USB:
1. Connect your synthesizer to a computer using a USB cable.
2. Open your MIDI librarian software (SysEx Librarian, etc.) and config-
ure it to receive SysEx messages.
3. Press the
global
button on the Take 5.
4. Use the
select

midi sysex cable

.
5. Use the
select
knob to select
dump preset
,
dump bank
, or
dump all
banks
, depending on which of these you would like to do.
6. Press write. The program or bank is exported.
Dumped programs will load back into the same bank and program location in
memory when received by the Take 5 via MIDI.
Programs can also be dumped directly from one Take 5 to another using
the MIDI DIN jack, if the
midi sysex cable
parameter is set to
midi
in the
global
menu.
To send a program or bank to another Take 5 as a SysEx file over MIDI:
1. Connect two Take 5 synthesizers together using MIDI cables and the
midi in and midi out
jacks on their rear panels.
2. On both synthesizers, Press the
global
button and use the
select
knob
to select
midi sysex cable
, then use the
value
knob to choose
midi
.
3. On the Take 5 that you want to send the programs to, press the
global
button again to exit the
global
menu.
