Using the Bulk Dump function
The AX-Synth provides a Bulk Dump function that
allows you to archive its settings by transmitting them
to a MIDI sequencer, and to send them back to the
AX-Synth at a later stage.
Archiving the AX-Synth’s settings using a MIDI
sequencer
This procedure transmits all of the AX-Synth’s settings—
including the ones that can only be edited with the
“AX-Synth Editor” software.
Note: The Bulk Dump procedure takes about 16 minutes. We
therefore recommend connecting the AC adaptor to the
AX-Synth.
(1) Connect the AX-Synth’s MIDI OUT socket to the
sequencer’s MIDI IN socket.
You can also connect the AX-Synth’s USB port to a
USB port on your computer and use a sequencer pro-
gram:
(2) Hold down the VARIATION [DEC÷–] + [INC÷+] + TONE
[6] (STRINGS/PAD) buttons and switch on the
AX-Synth.
The display now shows the “dMP” message and the
FAVORITE [A] and [B] buttons flash.
(3) Start recording on your sequencer.
You may also have to activate its reception of SysEx
data. See the sequencer’s manual for details.
(4) Press the FAVORITE [B] button on the AX-Synth to
start transmitting its settings.
The display now shows the “Snd” (sending) message
and the FAVORITE [WRITE] button flashes.
(5) Wait until “dNE” appears in the AX-Synth’s display
and the FAVORITE [WRITE] button goes dark, then
stop the sequencer.
(6) Save your “song” (or data file) on the sequencer/
computer.
(7) Switch the AX-Synth off, wait a moment, then
switch it back on again.
Sending your settings back to the AX-Synth
Note: The Bulk Dump procedure takes about 16 minutes. We
therefore recommend connecting the AC adaptor to the
AX-Synth.
(1) Connect the sequencer’s MIDI OUT socket to the
AX-Synth’s MIDI IN socket.
You can also connect the AX-Synth’s USB port to a
USB port on your computer and use a sequencer pro-
gram.
(2) Hold down the VARIATION [DEC÷–] + [INC÷+] + TONE
[6] (STRINGS/PAD) buttons and switch on the
AX-Synth.
The display now shows the “dMP” message and the
FAVORITE [A] and [B] buttons flash.
(3) Press the FAVORITE [A] button on the AX-Synth to
enable its reception of SysEx data.
The display now shows the “RCU” (ready to receive)
message and the FAVORITE [WRITE] button lights.
(4) On your sequencer, load the file containing your
settings and start playback.
You may also have to activate its transmission of
SysEx messages. See the sequencer’s manual for
details.
