Programs and Banks
You can use the dump preset, dump bank, and dump all banks commands
in the global menu to transmit the current program, bank, or all banks
in SysEx format via the selected MIDI port. This allows you to save
your programs so that you can share or archive them. You will need a
computer and software application such as SysEx Librarian for Macin-
tosh, or MIDIOX for Windows.
To export a program or bank as a SysEx le over USB:
1. Connect your synthesizer to a computer using a USB cable.
2. Open your MIDI librarian software (SysEx Librarian, etc.) and cong-
ure it to receive SysEx messages.
3. Press the global button on the Take 5.
4. Use the select knob to select midi sysex cable, then use the value knob
to choose usb.
5. Use the select knob to select dump preset, dump bank, or dump all
banks, depending on which of these you would like to do.
6. Press write. The program or bank is exported.
Dumped programs will load back into the same bank and program location in
memory when received by the Take 5 via MIDI.
Programs can also be dumped directly from one Take 5 to another using
the MIDI DIN jack, if the midi sysex cable parameter is set to midi in the
global menu.
To send a program or bank to another Take 5 as a SysEx le over MIDI:
1. Connect two Take 5 synthesizers together using MIDI cables and the
midi in and midi out jacks on their rear panels.
2. On both synthesizers, Press the global button and use the select knob
to select midi sysex cable, then use the value knob to choose midi.
3. On the Take 5 that you want to send the programs to, press the global
button again to exit the global menu.
