Operating the Blue Thunder<br />

Step 5<br />

Play back the data stored on the sequencer. The Blue Thunder will display the data strings as<br />

it is storing them. Each data string will appear with the word "LOADED". After all the user<br />

data has been loaded, the Blue Thunder will display "LOAD COMPLETE". Do not play back<br />

the data from the sequencer faster than it was loaded, as errors may occur (errors may also<br />

occur if any knob is turned or any button is pressed before the message "LOAD COM-<br />

PLETE" appears).<br />

LOAD COMPLETE<br />

RECEIVING BLUE THUNDER<br />

If errors occur during transmission, the unit will display "RECEIVE ERROR" for transmission<br />

errors and "XMEM ERROR" for internal hardware errors. Errors occurring in transmission<br />

does not indicate that all of the received data is corrupted. Only the transmission string where<br />

the error occurred is corrupted.<br />

* When receiving a Bulk Load, it is important that the data loaded to the Blue<br />

Thunder is not transmitted faster than it was originally dumped from the Blue<br />

Thunder. If information is sent too fast to the Blue Thunder, an error will occur.<br />

When dumping information from a data storage device, such as an Alesis Data<br />

Disk, it is necessary to perform the dump in sequence mode rather than sysx<br />

mode. Sequence mode will dump the information back to the Blue Thunder at<br />

the same rate as it was received from the Blue Thunder. The Blue Thunder can<br />

receive a data dump at about 65Hz (or about 1 byte every 15 milliseconds).
