Linking it here:
https://zaqaudio.com/files/Zaquencer_Preset_Map.txt

It´s recommended to open this with notepad++ to keep the formatting.

Whats described in the above file is the “Data” part of the whole SysEx message (see manual p.35 for surrounding structure like headers etc).

If you could share the parameter layout that would be lovely :) I am trying to back up my presets by converting the midi note sequence to a file my DAW could recognize.

Thanks.

my Zaquencer is full and I saved all the patterns on my PC.
Now I would like to clear all patterns and global settings. Is there any way to do this quickly?
Does anybody have a default SysEx file where all patterns and global settings are at default settings so that I can clean my Zaquencer by loading this default SysEx file on it?

Greetings, Leidenfrostie

If CC is possible, hae you looked into the Midi remote functionality? (Manual P.22 and P.36/37). Maybe you can find a message there that doesn´t trigger any undesired changes in the Zaquencer (like “Reset” maybe?) but still helps you with your idea? All these would be consumed by the Zaquencer and not passed to the output (if you chose “filtered through” in the Global menu).

The idea that I’m rolling around my head would entail me trying to send a cc to change a relay switch, but to use a value that causes no change. For instance, if a value of 1 is on, 0 is off and 2 is invert, then would a value of 3 be consumed, recognized, and filtered?
Another idea involves a midi control to change the BPM while the Zaquencer is configured to use an external clock source.

With this line of thinking, I am trying to find messages that are consumed by the Zaquencer but are passed by other devices in my system (Soundsculpture switchblades, Behringer UMC1820 and FCB1010UnO, etc.) which are devices that are unconcerned with MIDI timing structures.
I can program a confirmation with a lack of a response in this way. Are there any ideas for messages to send along these lines of thinking?

I think I may be drifting off of the category a little though. My apologies.

Thanks,
Drew

what do you mean exactly by “will be recognized, but won’t make any changes”?
Every Midi message will be processed, but if it´s not meant for the Zaquencer it´ll be passed to the through.
Can you elaborate further?

Cheers!

I have tried this, but I may not have done it correctly as I don’t think I was in ‘Store’ Menu.
I was shipped away from my system for work and will not be back until Saturday. I’ll give it another try at that time.

On the other side, are there any messages I can send that will be recognized, but won’t make any changes?

Thanks,
Drew

you´re right, this functionality is not implemented in the Zaquencer.
All Midi messages that the Zaquencer doesn´t recognize are being put through (if thru is enabled).
To provoke the error message that is mentioned in the manual, you have to be in Store Menu and hold down push encoder 1 to initiate the SysEx reception. Don´t know if that´s practical for your case, but have you tried it this way?

Best,
Christian
