All of the information stored in memory, including PRESET/PROGRAM
combinations and LOOP/SWITCH settings, may be dumped to an external storage medium such as an “Alesis Data Disk”, personal
computer or any other system with a Midi port and hard or floppy disk storage capabilities. These settings (information) can then be
retrieved and loaded back into memory from the storage medium, providing backup and/or limitless expansion of the TriAxis memory.
NOTE: The manufacture’s system exclusive identification code number for the TriAxis is 00004A. In case you ever need to list your
files on a personal computer, this would be a possible title. However, the majority of owners will probably never need this number.
1. Connect a 5-Pin DIN cable from the TriAxis Midi Out Jack. Follow instructions as
to how to set the storage medium’s Midi IN port to the receive ready state.
2. Press the
SHIFT
key and then the PRESET down key
(arrowed key facing to the left) on the TriAxis. You will now
see the PRESET window display flash four times, indicating
the “Dump” has been completed.
NOTE: You may possibly see the I.D. number appear on the screen of the
destination unit and then something like “Dump Completed.” The whole pro-
cedure takes about 500 milliseconds and all the information in the TriAxis
memory is still intact. At this time you may write new presets knowing that all
of your previous presets are safely backed up.
