System Messages

The System Messages are the data related to the overall system of the device.
System Exclusive Messages
System Exclusive messages are used to exchange the system and voice/
registration data. These allow you to execute bulk dump operation, sending
and receiving all the data of the EL-900 including registrations to and from an
external device. This is especially useful for you to build up the library of the
registration data in a device like a hard disk.
Examples of Exchanging the Data
Use the following examples to send (or receive) the registration data
to (or from) a personal computer (a sequencing software).
First, you need to connect your EL-900 with a personal computer (a
sequencing software) using a Serial Cable or a MIDI cable (page 161).
