When you save data dumps from this instrument to a 
MIDI data filer, do not save multiple data dumps 
together. If this data is saved together, there will be 
insufficient time for this instrument to write each 
received portion into memory before the next portion of 
data arrives, so that it will be impossible to receive all of 
the data correctly.

Reception

Do not touch this instrument’s switches or turn off the 
power while data is being received.

Before receiving data, we recommend that you close the 
various dialog boxes, page menus, or utility com-
mands.

After a data dump is received, this instrument will 
require up to 20 seconds to process the data and write it 
into memory. During this time, the display will indicate 
“Now writing into internal memory.” While this dis-
play is shown, you must under no circumstances turn 
off the power of this instrument. If the power is turned 
off during this time, this instrument may fail to operate 
correctly when the power is turned on again. If this 
occurs, hold down the [EXIT/CANCEL] button and the 
[PAGE +] button while you turn on the power. How-
ever when this is done, the contents of memory will be 
initialized.

Transmission and reception of MIDI data is also impos-
sible during this time. When receiving multiple data 
dumps in succession, you must allow an interval 
between the transmission of each data dump. (

refer 

to the table below)

Processing time for writing into memory

While this instrument is writing the data into memory, 
transmission of Active Sensing (FEh) messages from the 
MIDI OUT connector or USB connector will stop.

Data dump reception procedure

1

Connect this instrument and the device that will receive 
the data dump.
If you’re using a computer that is able to transmit MIDI 
exclusive messages, connect the computer’s USB connec-
tor to the X50/microX’s USB connector. Alternatively, 
connect the MIDI OUT connector of your computer’s 
MIDI interface to the X50/microX’s MIDI IN connector 
(

p.171).

If you are using a MIDI data filer, connect the MIDI OUT 
connector of the data filer to the MIDI IN connector of 
this instrument.

Some USB-MIDI interface devices may not be able to 
transmit or receive the X50/microX’s MIDI exclusive 
messages.

2

Set the MIDI channel of the MIDI device to match the 
global MIDI channel “MIDI Channel” (1–1a) of this 
instrument. If data that was previously transmitted to the 
MIDI device is now going to be received again by this 
instrument, set the global MIDI channel of this instru-
ment to the same global MIDI channel setting that was 
used when transmitting the data.

To set the MIDI channel of the transmitting device, refer 
to the owner’s manual for that device. 

3

Turn check the “Exclusive” setting (1–1b).

4

Transmit the data from the other device. For the proce-
dure, refer to the owner’s manual for the device you are 
using. While the data is being received, the display will 
indicate “Now received MIDI data.”
