Bank Selection
The Rack Gizmo can store programs in MIDI banks 0 and 1, for a total of 256 programs. Continuous Controller #0 (Bank
MSB) is used to select the current MIDI bank. Bank numbers above bank 1 are ignored.
By default, bank selection is disabled. You can enable bank selection using Setup Mode (see Setup Mode section).
Backing Up Your Settings: SysEx Dump
A SysEx (System Exclusive) data dump will send the current Rack Gizmo system configuration out through the MIDI
Thru/Out port. You can then save this data to your computer, or copy the settings directly to another Rack Gizmo.
Hold down the Audio Loop 5 button while powering up the Rack Gizmo, and the Rack Gizmo will immediately send the
SysEx Dump. It only takes a couple of seconds to complete.
If you wish to copy settings from on Rack Gizmo to another, connect the MIDI Thru/Out jack of the transmitting unit to
the MIDI In jack of the receiving unit, then power up the transmitting unit while holding down the Audio Loop 5
button. (Note that the receiving Rack Gizmo must be powered on and not in Setup Mode in order to receive a SysEx
dump.) The receiving unit will display a progress bar on its front panel LEDs. The transfer goes very quickly, taking only
a couple of seconds. In the case of an error, the receiving unit will flash all LEDs 5 times.
Once the transfer completes, the receiving unit will reset, then return to normal operating mode. The receiving unit
now has an exact copy of the transmitting unit’s settings.
