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 device,
it will execute a data dump according to the type of request that it re-
ceived.
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
E
NABLE. 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 micro
KORG XL’s MIDI exclusive messages.
