Restoring factory defaults on an ESX1?

LeilaniLad · Post by **LeilaniLad** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 9:15 pm

Just got an ESX1 to fill the hole between my Tenori, Kaossilator and KP3.

Before I go nuts writing my own patterns, is there any way to restore factory defaults short of dumping them to smart media before I change anything?

i dont think so... but im pretty sure if you need them later they are available for download off of the net... but youll still need the card

Yup, your gonna have to download the presets as their not revertable like the EMX

Actually, I found the option in the manual. It's in the troubleshooting section. You can reset to factory defaults by turning on the ESX while holding down the SOLO and WRITE keys.

Thanks for your response though guys =).

As DJ Pound mentioned, I don't think you can restore the ESX samples. Only the patterns. The samples would have to be uploaded via SM card (or possibly through really slow sysex midi, but don't quote me on that one).

Yeah, Im pretty sure thats the EMX not the ESX.

I just had a quick look, and the "restore presets" function is only for pattern and song data (not samples), which is equivalent to the type of data you can restore on the EMX. If you delete the ESX factory samples and you want them back, you need to use a SM card.

Nice, i was hoping to reset my ESX, but now I just deleted everything on it even the factory samples that came with it . Thanks for the tip guys, this is going to be hard to solve because SD cards are hard to find

Really really nice, damnit !!!

SM cards are not hard to find!

I got two in January from a seller on ebay.co.uk who is based in Hong Kong, if he'll post to the UK he'll probably post to the Netherlands

a USB card reader that supports SM is a little harder to find, but still not hard.

Or you could use an XD-to-SM adaptor, but I haven't tried that, because I found SM cards easily and didn't need to

I *JUST* bought a 256MB card on ebay for $40 shipped. I was OK with that price...

I got my SM card off the vistan ebay seller an it worked fine. I have a feeling though that the biggest card the esx supports is 128MB. The card reader was a bit of trouble to track down. I bought 2 or 3 cheap ones off ebay that claimed to read them but didn't before eventually finding one in a local retailer for a lot more - http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.store ... iew/XH6315

Yup, that's what the specs say. I haven't tried anything bigger.

Right now I couldn't find where to download them from.

Are the default samples actually available somewhere for download?
