Saving and Loading Data
Saving Data
You save the setting data stored on the unit to an external MIDI sequencer or
computer installed with a MIDI-sequencing program (“MIDI sequencer”) by
sending the setting data to it as MIDI data (bulk dump).
* When youíre using an external MIDI sequencer, set the device IDs for the V-8
and the external MIDI sequencer to the same value. To set the device ID for the
V-8, go to the MIDI Setup menu and make the setting for Device ID.
1. Connect the MIDI OUT/THRU connector on the V-8 and the MIDI IN
connector on the MIDI sequencer.
2. Operate the MIDI sequencer to enable it to receive MIDI data.
3. Press the [MENU] button to display the menu, choose MIDI Setup, then
press the [ENTER] button.
4. Use [ ] or [ ] to choose MIDI Bulk Dump, then press the [ENTER]
button.
5. Start recording on the MIDI sequencer.
6. Use [ ] or [ ] to choose Yes, then press the [ENTER] button.
The MIDI data is sent from the V-8.
* To cancel, either press the [MENU] button, or select No and press the [ENTER]
button.
7. Stop recording on the MIDI sequencer.
8. Press the [MENU] button several times to make the menu disappear.
Loading Data
This imports setting data saved on a MIDI sequencer into the V-8.
* When youíre using the V-8 with an external MIDI sequencer, check to make
sure that the device IDs for both are using the same setting. To set the device ID
for the V-8, go to the MIDI Setup menu and make the setting for Device ID.
* Under Utility, set Memory Protect to OFF.
1. Connect the MIDI IN connector on the V-8 with the MIDI OUT connector
on the MIDI sequencer.
2. Start playback on the MIDI sequencer.
MIDI data is sent from the MIDI sequencer. When the V-8 receives the
MIDI data, the settings are overwritten.
3. Stop playback on the MIDI sequencer.
Performing a Factory Reset
Hold down the EFFECTS-A [1 FEEDBACK] and [4 MULTI] buttons and press
the [POWER] switch.
FAC appears on the display and a factory reset is executed.
When the factory reset finishes, the V-8 starts up.
* The Test Mode settings 01: Tbar SET(p. 18) and 02: Contrast SET(p. 18)
and the color system (NTSC or PAL) are not initialized. For each, the setting in
effect before the factory reset is retained.
How to Initialize
Unlike a factory reset, performing initialization initializes the Test mode 01:
Tbar SET(p. 18) and 02: Contrast SET(p. 18) settings. Also, the color system
is set to NTSC.
* When the circuit board has been replaced, be sure to execute initialization.
To perform initialization, hold down the [1 MIX], [BPM SYNC], and
[TRANSFORMER B] buttons and press the [POWER] switch.
Int appears on the display for several seconds, after which ntSC is displayed,
and the V-8 starts up.
* To ensure correct operation of the V-8ís video faders, after initialization, execute
the Test Mode’s 01: Tbar SET(p. 18) and 02: Contrast SET(p. 18).
Changing the Color System
At powerup, the V-8ís display shows the color system.
When the color system is NTSC, the characters ntSC are displayed, scrolling
from right to left.
When the color system is PAL, PAL is displayed.
After the color system is displayed, the V-8 starts up.
To change the color system, hold down the PREVIEW OUTPUT SELECT [1]
and [OUTPUT] buttons and press the [POWER] switch.
If the color system before powerup was NTSC, PAL is displayed, the color
system is set to PAL, and the unit starts up.
If the color system before powerup was PAL, ntSC is displayed, the color
system is set to NTSC, and the unit starts up.
