MIDI, Gate, Display
The MIDI, Gate, Display screen is where you can back up your Scenes and folders, perform
a Factory Reset, set up the global Noise Gate and adjust the contrast of the LCD Display.
With a MIDI interface and a sysex application, you can back up all your M9 Scenes to your
computer. This makes it easy to build a custom Scenes library, or exchange Scenes with
others. To backup your Scene folders, or to dump the current Scene, follow these steps:
• Turn Knob 3 to set your MIDI Channel (Ch. 1-16 or Omni - the default is Ch. 1).
• Turn the Model Select knob to select “DUMP ALL?” (to back up all 4 Scene folders),
“DUMP FLDR?” (to back up your current Scene folder), or “DUMP SCNE?” (to
back up just the current Scene in its current state).
• With your computer set up to record sysex, press and hold TAP while you press down
on the Model Select knob.
The M9 will immediately transmit the sysex file to your computer, creating a backup of
your Scenes that you can store and recall at any time.
To load Scenes back into your M9, simply transmit the sysex file from your computer
into the M9 via MIDI. This will immediately load the data into the M9’s memory.
*Note: For best results, set your M9 to Manual Save mode when loading Scene folders.
For more details on backing up your Scenes with MIDI dumps, see Appendix B: Tips.
Factory Reset
There may be times when you’d like to reset your M9 to its Factory settings. You may want
to recall a particular Factory Scene, for example, or just get back to square one.
To do a Factory Reset, first back up any Scenes you’d like to keep (as described above),
then follow the steps on the next page.
