PC2 Made Easy

2. Play back the sequence, or initiate the dump playback from your external device.
ThatÕs it. You donÕt have to put the PC2 in any special mode to receive the dump.
When a dump is sent back to the PC2, the information goes to the memory location for
that Setup. It does NOT update the edit buffer, which is where the current Setup is
played from. Therefore you have to call up that object after the dump to hear it. For
example, letÕs say you have dumped Setup #132 previously and have since edited that
Setup and have #132 currently called up. If you dump the Setup back into the PC2 and
then play the keyboard, you wonÕt hear the older version - you have to call up the Setup
by typing in 132 and Enter on the keypad, or scrolling away and back to it.
It is always a good idea to test your dumping procedure to make sure everything worked
correctly, before making massive changes. You wouldnÕt want to delete several months
of work only to find out the sysex dump wasnÕt correctly recorded. A simple way to test
to make some easy change and save it, then send the dump back to make sure it is
received correctly. For example, you can dump the Setup, then change one letter in the
Setup name and save that change. Then dump the Setup back to see if the name changes
back to the original. DonÕt forget that you have to call up the Setup after dumping it
back in.
