Transmitting programs and other data (Data Dump)
Program data and global data can be transmitted from the
microKORG
XL+
as MIDI exclusive data. The action of transmitting MIDI exclusive data
to an external MIDI device is called a “data dump.”
By performing a data dump you can store various types of data on an exter-
nal MIDI device, or change the sounds or settings of another
microKORG
XL+
unit.
NOTE
If the
microKORG XL+
receives a dump request from an external de-
vice, it will execute a data dump according to the type of request that it
received.
NOTE
If you want data dumps to be received, turn the GLOBAL page “PRO-
TECT” parameter off, and set the MIDI FLT page “SYS EX” parameter to
ENABLE. If this is set to DISABLE, data dumps cannot be received.
NOTE
The “MIDI Implementation” including details on the MIDI exclusive format
can be downloaded from the Korg website.
Do not touch the
microKORG XL+
’s knobs or keyboard while data is
being transmitted or received. Never turn off the power during this
time.
Some MIDI interface devices may be unable to transmit or receive
the
microKORG XL+
’s MIDI exclusive messages.
