To use dx.factory MIDI Export support, your copy of dx.factory needs to be registered.
To configure MIDI support, go to the MIDI Preferences tab in the Preferences Dialog, and set up the following:
If the Device Number on the DX is set to ALL then it will accept data for any SYSEX Device.
You can check that these settings work by pressing the Test DX MIDI Settings button. When you press this button a test message is sent to the DX and the subsequent Dialog will tell you if communication was successful or if there was a problem.
The above steps set up the basic communication mechanism for MIDI support, and you then can set up the remaining options according to your preferences:
In operation, using MIDI is quite straightforward.
You can get all the DX Voices/Performances into any Child Window (including the DX Synthesizer Window) by selecting the Import from MIDI option on the MIDI Menu, or the button on the Tool
Bar.
This imports all Voices, and all Performances if you have set the MIDI Preferences options to include Performances during the bulk transfers.
Similarily you can also export all Voices and Performances using the Export MIDI option on the MIDI Menu, or the button on the Tool Bar.
Note if you import or export MIDI data to/from a Child Window which is opened from a data file, then the DX Synthesizer Window is also updated with the Voices/Performances being imported/exported.
And you can also move/copy Voices/Performances between the DX Synthesizer Window and Child Window using drag and drop.
You can also import/export a Voice or Performance to/from the DX Edit Buffer by selecting a single Voice/Performance and selecting the import/export to/from DX Edit Buffer options from the Voice's or Performance's Context Sensitive Menu. You can also use the keyboard shortcuts for doing this
Exporting Voices from dx.factory to the DX Edit Buffer is really handy, for example, when trying to find a particular Voice in a file and you don't wish to load it into the DX.
Finally you can also perform all the operations on Voices/Performances in the DX Synthesizer Window that you can upon Voices/Performances in a normal Child Window.
If you have the Automatically Update DX after Synth Window Edit option active, when you change data the DX Synthesizer Window then the changes are automatically exported to the DX.
So you may wish to turn the Automatically Update DX after Synth Window Edit option off during intensive editing sessions. Once you've made all your changes you then select the Export MIDI
option on the MIDI Menu, or the button on the Tool
Bar Export option to manually export the changes.
If you quit dx.factory with changes still present in the DX Synthesizer Window that have not been exported, then you will be asked if you wish to export the data or not.
