Exporting Programs and Banks
You can use the pgm dump command 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
them or archive them. You will need a computer and software application
such as SysEx Librarian for Macintosh, or MIDIOX for Windows.
To export a program or bank as a SysEx le over MIDI:
1. Connect your synthesizer to a computer using a USB cable.
2. Open your MIDI librarian software (SysEx Librarian, etc.) and cong-
ure it to receive SysEx messages.
3. Press the global button on your synth.
4. Use the parameter knob to select midi sysex cable, then use the value
knob to choose usb.
5. Use the parameter knob to select dump prog, 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 Prophet Rev2 via MIDI.
Programs can also be dumped directly from one Rev2 to another using
the MIDI DIN jack, if the midi sysex cable parameter is set to midi in the
global menu.
To export a program or bank as a SysEx le over MIDI:
1. Connect two Rev2 synthesizers together using MIDI cables and the
midi in and midi out jacks on their rear panels.
2. Press the global button on Rev2 that you want to send programs from.
3. On both synthesizers, use the parameter knob to select midi sysex
cable, then use the value knob to choose midi.
