Someone explain Midi Dump to me

Is this correct. From my understanding its a way to call up patches from external modules without having to actually save in the module itself

Someone eplain the importance to me and how its performed. I tried following along in the manual but I couldnt get it to work.

I actually DONT USE MIDI ANYMORE, But I just want to know how to do Everything on the mpc

You mean like when you have a project with different midi modules using a number of patches, you want the pathces in the modules to load up automatically when you load the project in the MPC, but without having to touch the modules at all?

this is something i want to know how to do on the 2500

That also... I think thats called something else though... Not too sure. I never had the need for any of these features, but it would be cool to know. Last time I mentioned something about the mpc calling patches from an external module someone mentioned, SYSEX. I didnt know the XL could send system exclusive messages Shyt what is a system exlusive message

Wheres PT3r or NANO When u need Them :!:

Thanks for all the replies guys Preciate it

Well heres what I learned after some intense searching, Midi Dump is what u do when u want to send exlusive messages to call up patches on soundmodules. You dump from the module into the mpc and u dont have to save anything on the module. When u load up the beat it in the mpc it will call up the patch settings on the module.

here is step by step instructions curtesy of the azzhole Bravo, (Where the fuk he been at anyway) Hope this will help someone...

Just to be clear you need an extra midi lead from the PP's Midi Out to go to the MPC's Midi In

Now, what ur aiming to do is dump the multi mode setup into the MPC...The best way i find, is to use a blank seq , (name it whatever the song is + Midi dump)

Make it 4bars and set the BPM to about 60 (This will allow good time for the MPC to retrigger the settings in the future)

Select Track 1....Now go into the step edit screen....Make sure ur set on all 0's. Then execute the dump. Press 'YES' , 'DO IT' , 'OK' or whatever the confirm send/dump button is on the PP.

If sucessful, when the dump is complete, you should see the following:
E.g
Exclusive: F0 42 3B .. .. .. .. .. right the way across (Thats the code... Dont change or mess with it)

Now save the seq etc...When you reload the song and the original seq's make sure u remember to reload that one too. Then go to it and press the play button on ur MPC. The PP should show some sign of transmitting the dump via its screen. This should all be done by the time you hit 4bars anyway.

Now flick back to ur main seq and ur sounds should be back just the way you left em....Try It!

(Remember to send new dumps if you make changes to sounds and channels...Ease the old dump 1st)

Thats it folks...I tried to break it down nice and clearly

Let me know how you get on

Wish i could help you man but i've never done one myself.I usually work with audio but sometimes tap into the midi side of things but audio is so much easier.Hope you get it figured out.


Peace.

Look UP above your post I found the info if you were interested. It sounds pretty cool.

I might give that a try........No time soon but maybe someday.Appreciate it.
