M-Audio DigiPatch [12/20] Appendix 1 diagnostic tests

You can now use the Target Inc (▲) and Dec (▼) buttons to toggle

between “enabled” and “disabled.”

Bulk Data Dumps via MIDI

All of the internal DigiPatch patches can be sent and saved on an

external computer by way of a MIDI system exclusive bulk dump.

To perform a bulk data dump from the unit first press and hold the

MIDI button and then press the Store button. The DigiPatch will

now transmit a series of short system exclusive messages that con-

tain all of the DigiPatch patch information as well as internal para-

meters such as MIDI channel number and MIDI thru on/off status.

At any later time, when DigiPatch receives this same bulk MIDI data

from a Sys Ex librarian, it will be completely reprogrammed with the

same patch data and internal parameters that were in the unit when

the bulk dump was performed.

Appendix 1 - Diagnostic Tests

you can either start another test, or exit the test mode and allow the

unit to boot up normally.

LED and Button Test (MIDI + Program ▲)

The test begins with all LED segments (including decimal points)

flashing at about two times per second. During this time each seg-

ment can be examined for blackouts, intensity differences, color

matching, correct decimal point placement, unevenness between
