M9/M13 BACKUP INSTRUCTIONS

NEEDED:

• A MIDI sequencer app such as Cubase or a sysex app -- if you don't have a sysex app installed, do a Google search for MIDI Ox (Windows) or Sysex Librarian (Mac) then download one or the other and install it.

   

And ONE of the following:

• A MIDI interface that connects to your computer via USB (download the current Driver for it if you don't have it installed) & 2 MIDI cables

OR

• A MIDI - USB interface such as the M-Audio Uno that comes with attached MIDI cables. You may need to download & install the latest driver from the manufacturer for this device.

When your MIDI interface, Driver and sysex app are ready to go, follow PROCEDURE instructions below.

PC USERS, Windows XP & Vista:

Saving Scenes:

1. Run MIDI OX. You can do so from Start > Program Files > MIDI OX.

2. Set "Pass Sysex" & "Start Display" to On: Click the 'REC' & 'SYX' at bottom right so it is highlighted blue.
2. Now go to View > Sysex
3. Go to the Sysex menu & select "Receive Manual Dump." When selected, you will see a window appear waiting on info from the M9/M13.
4. In Setup Menu of M9 (Press the 3A and TAP buttons at once, then press the MODEL SELECT knob 3 times) or the M13 (hold the 'Looper Controls' button), select 'Dump All' to backup all your scenes or 'Dump Edit' to backup the one scene you have currently selected. Press down on the 'Model Select' knob to begin the dump. Click 'Done' in MIDI OX when complete.
5. Under the 'Display Window' of MIDI OX, click 'Save As' and save it as a Sysex file type.

Loading Scenes:

1. Run MIDI OX

2. Under the 'Command Window' menu, select 'Load File'. If you are attempting to load an individual scene, it will be recalled to your current scene location, so change to the scene location on the M9/M13 you would like to overwrite.
3. Again, go to the 'Command Window' menu & select 'Send/Rec Sysex.' The display on the M9 (FX Unit 4 on the M13) will flash 'Receiving MIDI - Standby.' Once complete, your scene(s) are now loaded. You do not have to set anything on the M9/M13, it will simply load the individual scene to the current location or load all the scenes in one shot once it receives the file.

**Note - Using 'Send Sysex' does not work. MIDI OX screen will read 'Sysex Receive' although it is sending to the M9/M13.

MAC USERS:

Saving Scenes:

1. Open Sysex Librarian.
2. You should already see your MIDI interface (or 'USB Uno MIDI Interface') listed in the dropdown menu at the top. If not you will need to download & install the latest drivers available from the manufacturer.
3. Click the 'Record Many' button. Use this even when backing up an individual scene. A window will appear showing it is awaiting info from the M9/M13.

4. On the M9/M13 select either 'Dump All' (all scenes) or 'Dump Edit' (current scene) and press the 'Model Select' knob to initiate.
5. Once complete, you can rename 'untitiled.syx' in Sysex Librarian by clicking the name once it is highlighted.

Loading Scenes:

1. Select the Sysex file you wish to load.
2. Click 'Play'. You will see 'Receiving MIDI - Standby' in the display on the M9 (FX Unit 4 on the M13). Your scene(s) is now loaded. Again, if you are loading an individual scene it will load to the current location you are in, so select the scene you wish to overwrite BEFORE loading the backup file.
