General Instructions for Using Preset Banks
Almost all instruments must first be set up to receive MIDI
System Exclusive information. The procedure for this varies
from product to product, it is recommended that you consult
your owners manuals for specifics. Generally speaking, for
most LCD (menu-driven) synthesizers and effects, you must
select a MIDI Master Page, and turn Sysex = On.

Most instruments will automatically change their LCD page as
you move a fader, and you will see the parameter’s value
change on the LCD. The EMU Proteus, however, will not show
any change in the display.

Here are a few specific suggestions concerning the Oberheim
Matrix 6-R , Ensoniq VFX, the Akai S-1000, and the Korg M-3R.

Matrix 6-R
In addition to enabling sysex, you must be in Patch Edit Quick
Mode. The Matrix 6-R will not accept system exclusive and
MIDI notes at the same instant. Rather, you should stop
playing notes while the faders are being moved, or risk a stuck
note situation.

Ensoniq VFX and VFX SD
Per Ensoniq recommendations, real-time system exclusive
control works best in Multi Mode. When a fader is moved on
the FaderMaster Pro, the VFX display does not change, but the
Compare LED will come on. You will see a new parameter
value when you manually select the page and parameter that
you are controlling. If a given fader does not seem to be doing
anything, be sure to try all three VFX banks to hear the effect
on all three voices.
