Loading Programs and Setups via MIDI

The Ion doesn't need to be in a special mode to receive MIDI sysex
information. Simply connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI out jack of
your MIDI player to the [MIDI IN] port of your Ion and start the sysex
dump on your MIDI storage device or computer. If everything is
working properly, the Ion display will read "RECEIVING MIDI
DATA..." and the Bank, Program, or Setup will be loaded.

NOTE: Some computers are not fast enough
to transmit MIDI sysex data properly. If you
are experiencing problems, try adjusting the
settings in your MIDI software. Some
programs allow you to slow down the
transmit rate so the computer hardware can
keep up with the software.
