• Press *YES*.
• If there is not enough free sequencer memory to hold the Sys-Ex data, the display shows
SEQUENCER DATA WILL BE ERASED. If you have sequencer data in memory which hasn’t
been saved, press *NO* to return to the Storage page and save it to disk before proceeding.
Otherwise, press *YES*.
• The display reads LOADING <FILENAME> while the data is being loaded. Once the data is
in memory, the Sys-Ex Recorder screen appears:
• Press SEND to transmit the data. The display reads STATUS=SENDING, and then returns to
STATUS=READY..., ready to send the data again if necessary.
• Check the receiving instrument(s) to see that the data was received correctly. If it wasn’t,
make sure that:
> the MIDI connections are correct (TS-12’s MIDI Out to the receiving device’s MIDI In),
> the receiving device(s) is enabled to receive System Exclusive messages,
> the receiving device(s) is set to the same MIDI base channel(s) as when the data was initially
sent to the TS-12.
• Then press SEND again, and the data will be transmitted again. You can keep repeating this
until the data has been successfully received by the remote device(s).
• Once the data has been successfully transmitted, press EXIT.
Additional Sys-Ex Recorder Notes
As you have no doubt noticed, the TS-12 displays exactly the same page for sending and
receiving Sys-Ex data. In fact, MIDI System Exclusive data can be transmitted or received any
time this page is on the display, regardless of which way you entered it.
Whenever this page is displayed:
• Pressing SEND will transmit whatever is in the MIDI Sys-Ex buffer.
• Incoming MIDI Sys-Ex messages will be recorded and added to the data already in the buffer
memory.
• Pressing SAVE will always take you to the SAVE FILE page where you can name and save to
disk the data in the buffer memory.
This allows a number of useful applications. You can, for example, load a Sys-Ex file from disk,
then transmit to the TS-12 any additional message or messages, adding that data to the original
data, and then resave the file to disk. Or you can press SEND to retransmit a Sys-Ex message
immediately after it has been received, to check and see that it was received properly.
