24 TASCAM TA-1VP
MIDI Dump (export) Page
ª
The MIDI Preset Dump function allows you to archive one
or more of your presets and/or your TA-1VP’s Setup Menu
settings as a MIDI SysEx file that can then be reloaded into
your TA-1VP at some later time. This function is also useful
for organizing sets of presets, e.g., all of the presets used
in a particular album project or set list.
Any MIDI sequencer, either hardware or computer-based,
that is capable of recording and transmitting MIDI SysEx
files can be used to store and reload TA-1VP presets.
In order to dump MIDI data, you must connect the
TA-1VP’s MIDI Out to the MIDI Input of your sequencer or
computer and ensure that the sequencer is set to receive
on the MIDI channel selected in the MIDI Channel page
described above.
Use the Data Knob to select exactly what to include in the
SysEx file.

## Preset Name
This selection saves the single selected TA-1VP preset.
When this file is loaded back into your TA-1VP, it will
replace the preset currently at that numerical location
with the contents of the file, but will leave all other presets
and the current Setup data unchanged.
In any case, after pressing SAVE, the TA-1VP will begin
transmitting the selected SysEx data and display the
following screen:

This page allows you to either enable or disable the
TA-1VP’s ability to receive MIDI SysEx messages.
Enable MIDI SysEx
Reception: NO
When
NO
(default setting) is selected, the TA-1VP will
ignore all MIDI SysEx messages. When
Yes
is selected, the
TA-1VP will respond to any valid TA-1VP SysEx files created
with the MIDI Preset Dump function described above.
To restore a previously saved file, select
Yes
on the above
page and ensure that the MIDI Out on your sequencer or
computer is connected to the TA-1VP’s MIDI In.
On your MIDI sequencer, select the file that contains the
Presets and/or Setup data you wish to load. Play that file
into the TA-1VP.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Reloading one or more presets
will permanently overwrite whatever presets are
currently in the corresponding numerical locations. If
you want to save those presets, either copy them to
a location which will not be overwritten or save them
as a MIDI SysEx file using the MIDI Preset Dump page
described above.
While the TA-1VP is receiving and storing valid SysEx data,
the following screen will be displayed:
