A memory dump/backup MIDI sysex file can be sent to the Impact LX at any time, while the unit is powered on, in order to
restore a backup. Make sure the Impact LX is the output destination of the MIDI track containing the backup data. The
display will read {SyS} when data is received. Once the data has transmission has been completed, the backup has been
restored.
