Bank Selection
The RG-16 can store programs in MIDI banks 0 and 1, for a total of 256 programs. Continuous Controller #0 (Bank MSB)
is used to select the current MIDI bank. Bank numbers above bank 1 are ignored.
By default, bank selection is disabled. You can enable bank selection using Setup Mode (see Setup Mode section).
Backing Up Your Settings: Sysex Dump
A Sysex (System Exclusive) data dump will send the current RG-16 system configuration out through the MIDI Out port.
You can then save this data to your computer, or copy the settings directly to another RG-16.
Hold down the Audio Loop 5 button while powering up the RG-16, and the RG-16 will immediately send the Sysex
Dump. It only takes a couple of seconds to complete.
If you wish to copy settings from on RG-16 to another, connect the MIDI Output of the transmitting unit to the MIDI
Input of the receiving unit, then power up the transmitting unit while holding down the Audio Loop 5 button. (Note
that the receiving RG-16 must be in normal operating mode to receive data.) The receiving unit will display a progress
bar graph on the Audio Loop LEDs. The transfer goes very quickly, taking only a couple of seconds. In the case of an
error, the receiving unit will flash all LEDs 5 times.
Once the transfer completes, the receiving unit will reset, then return to normal operating mode. The receiving unit
now has an exact copy of the transmitting unit’s settings.
