* More time will be required if the song data
contains System Exclusive events, since these must
be converted.
When performing a data dump from the OASYS
onto a MIDI data filer, do not transmit multiple data
dumps together. If multiple data is saved together,
the OASYS will have less than the required time
(right column in the table above) to write the data
into memory, and will be unable to receive all of the
data correctly.
Receiving SysEx data dumps
Do not touch the OASYS’s switches or turn off the
power while data is being received.
Before receiving MIDI data, we recommend that
you close any open dialog box or menu, with the
exception of the Disk page menu command “Save
Exclusive (Receive and Save MIDI System Exclusive
Data)” dialog box.-
After a data dump is received, the OASYS will
require approximately one second to process the
data and write it into memory. During this time, the
display will show the message, “Now writing into
internal memory.” While this message is shown,
you must under no circumstances turn off the
power of the OASYS. If the power is turned off
during this time, the OASYS may fail to operate
correctly when the power is turned on again.
Transmission and reception of MIDI data is also
impossible during this time. When receiving
multiple data dumps in succession, you must allow
enough time between each data dump for the
message to disappear from the screen.
MIDI cannot be transmitted or received while data
is being written into internal memory. Also,
transmission of Active Sensing (FEh) from the MIDI
OUT connector and USB connector will be halted.
Cautions when receiving Program data
• When receiving a data dump for a bank or a single
program, and the bank type of the received
program is different, a message of “Program Bank
Type Conflicts” will appear, and the data will not
be received. For the USER-A through G banks, use
Global “Set Program User-Bank Type” to specify
the appropriate bank, and then receive the data
again.
• When receiving an All Programs data dump, only
bank data whose bank type matches will be
received. If banks of a different bank type are
received, a message of “Program Bank Type
Conflicts” will be displayed.
Data dump reception procedure
1. If you’re using a computer that is able to receive
MIDI System Exclusive messages, connect the
MIDI OUT connector of your computer’s MIDI
interface to the OASYS’s MIDI IN connector (see
p.258).
If you are using a MIDI data filer, connect the
OASYS’s MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN
connector of the MIDI data filer.
2. Set the MIDI channel of the MIDI device to match
the global MIDI channel (1–1a) of the OASYS.
If you want the OASYS to receive data that was
previously transmitted to a MIDI device, you must
set the global MIDI channel of the OASYS to the
same global MIDI channel that was used when the
data was transmitted.
To set the MIDI channel of the transmitting device,
refer to the owner’s manual for that device.
3. Either check “Enable Exclusive” (1–1c), or display
one of the page menu commands of this page.
When one of these page menu commands is
displayed, data dumps can be received regardless of
the “Enable Exclusive” setting.
4. Transmit the data from the other device. For the
procedure, refer to the owner’s manual for the
device you are using.
While the data is being received, the display will
indicate “Now received MIDI data.”
Set Up KARMA External MIDI Routing
When using the KARMA function in conjunction with
an external sequencer, you can execute this command
with the appropriate setting to automatically make
settings for Global mode “Enable KARMA Module to
MIDI Out,” “Enable MIDI In to KARMA Module,” and
“Local Control On” (1–1a).
1. Choose “Setup KARMA External MIDI Routing”
to open the dialog box.
2. Select the desired routing.
Send the output of KARMA to external
device/sequencer
Choose this if you want the phrases generated by
the OASYS’s KARMA Module to be sent via MIDI
to control your external MIDI device or to be
recorded on your external MIDI sequencer.
