MIDI SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE
The MB-1 's System Exclusive Save and Load features allow you to save and load programs
to and from disk. In order to use these features you must have a computer with a MIDI
interface and MIDI software which supports standard MIDI file save/load, or a MIDI
sequencer that supports standard MIDI file save/load. You can down-load or up-load one
program at a time or the MB-1 's entire internal memory. When you have completed
programming your MB-1 we recommend you back up your work by saving it to disk.
In order to use the save and/or load feature you must connect MIDI cables from the MB-1
MIDI IN and MIDI OUT ports to the appropriate MIDI IN and MIDI OUT ports of your
computer/sequencer. NOTE: To avoid MIDI feedback disable MIDI ECHO/PATCH THRU on
your computer or sequencer. If transferring data from one MB-1 to another, use
one MIDI cable at a time to avoid MIDI feedback.
