As an alternative to storing data to a card, the QSR lets you transmit internal data via
MIDI System Exclusive messages. This data can be sent to a storage device, or recorded
into a MIDI sequencer, or sent to another QSR or S4. You have a choice of sending any
single Program in the User bank (00 to 127), or what is in the current Program Edit
buffer, or what is in any of the 16 Mix Edit Program buffers, or the entire User bank
(100 Mixes, 128 Programs, 128 Effects Patches) plus Global data. In the case of sending
data to another QSR, you can send any individual Program to the same location or any
other location in the receiving QSR, including any of its 17 Program Edit buffers.
To send the entire User bank via MIDI:
Connect a MIDI cable from the QSR’s [MIDI OUT] to the MIDI In of a device
capable of receiving the data (a MIDI sequencer, another QSR, etc.).
Press [STORE].
Press [CURSOR
] six times to select Page 5 of the Store function.
The display will look like this:
SEND ALL DATA
TO MIDI? (STR)
Press [STORE] to transmit the data out the MIDI Out connector.
While transmitting the data, the display will temporarily read “SENDING OUT
MIDI DATA.....”.
To send a single Program via MIDI:
Follow steps and in the instructions above.
Press [CURSOR
] seven times to select Page 6 of the Store function.
The display will look like this:
MIDI PRG 0 00 TO
PRG 000? (STR)
Use the [VALUE] knob to select a Program to transmit. You may select any
Program in the User bank (000 to 127) or the Program Edit buffer (EDIT) or any
of the 16 Mix Edit buffers (Em01 to Em16).
As this value is changed, the second parameter (destination) will be linked. This is
because most often you will want to transmit a Program to the same Program location.
The only time to do otherwise is when sending to another QSR (see below).
Press [STORE] to transmit the data out the MIDI Out connector.
