F1 - System Exclusive - Send
The “send” soft-key, F1, initiates a complete dump of all the bank and FTS settings, parts and patterns
via MIDI System Exclusive.
Status messages are shown while the dump takes place, and transmission can be aborted before
completion using the F3 key.
F2 - System Exclusive – Receive
The “recv” soft-key, F2, puts P3 into receive mode, which can be used for two different purposes.
In receive mode, any sysex message blocks containing configuration, part or pattern data will be
received and stored in main memory after checksum validation.
As blocks can be received in any order, P3 does not know when a complete dump has been received.
Status messages indicate reception of each data block.
Any errors detected in a dump will cause an “X” to appear in the bottom line of the display.
The last data block in a complete dump will be “pattern 170F”.
To exit receive mode, you must press “exit”, F3.
P3 Tools
Receive mode can also be used to receive “Dump Request” messages, which originate from a computer
based library utility.
In response to these messages, P3 can send any individual pattern, part or configuration block.
Receive mode is used with the Windows utility “P3 Tools” – an excellent librarian and data
management utility written by a P3 owner.
For details of the system exclusive data format, see the separate Sysex manual.
