Backup Snapshots
All 128 snapshots can be transferred to another
internal non-volatile memory area for later ref-
erence. There is enough memory for two com-
plete snapshot sets to be backed up.
Press the “menu” key (
 ) then choose the
“Snapshots” and then the “Backup” option to
arrive at the backup display (Graphic 28).

Select “Create #1” to save the current snapshots
to bank 1. Select “Restore #1” to overwrite the
current snapshots with bank 1 (ditto for bank 2).
A backup will overwrite “safe” snapshots.
Reset all Snapshots
To reinstall the factory snapshots press the
“menu” key then “snapshots” and then the “Re-
set all” option. This will reset the current snap-
shots. The snapshots that have been backed up
are preserved.

Dump Snapshots
The settings of all 128 snapshots can be dumped
to a remote control port to be stored externally.
Please make sure that you have connected eve-
rything correctly and that the proper remote
control port is activated (see chapter Remote
Control for setup).
When dumping to a MIDI-sequencer, make sure
that the sequencer is not sending or receiving
data other than the snapshot dump.
Certain sequencers are not capable of han-
dling the amount of data output by the
DS1-MK3 and might crash during or after
the dump process.
To initiate a dump, press the “menu” key then
choose the “Snapshot” and then the “Dump”
option. Start the recording process on the se-
quencer, then press “Transmit”. This releases
the dump to the sequencer.
Loading Snapshots
To load a snapshot dump from sequencer, sim-
ply play the dump sequence. The DS1-MK3 will
automatically switch into receive mode and dis-
play statistics about the snapshots it’s receiving.
If the transmission was OK, the program
switches back to normal mode. Upon error, you
have to manually switch back to normal mode.
When playing back the dump sequence,
always use the same speed as when the
sequence was recorded.
Note, the DS1 or DS1-MK2 snapshots are
not compatible with the DS1-MK3 snap-
shots.
A program to convert the DS1-MK2 to DS1-
MK3 snapshots is in preparation.
