Sending SysEx data dumps
Do not touch the M50's switches or turn off the power
while SysEx data is being transmitted.
Sending a data dump
1. Connect the M50 to the device that will receive the data
dump.
If you want to transmit the data to a computer that is able to
receive SysEx messages, connect the M50's USB connector to
your computer's USB connector.
If you want to transmit the data to another M50 or to a MIDI
data filer, connect the M50's MIDI OUT connector to the
MIDI IN connector of the receiving device.
2. Select Global P1: MIDI page.
3. The following illustration shows the dialog box that
will appear when Dump Program is selected.
If To dump one bank select Bank, or to dump one program
select Single.
Global: Menu Command Dump:
4. Use the To field to select the output connector that will
transmit the data.
MIDI OUT: MIDI OUT connector
USB: USB connector
5. Press the OK button to transmit the data.
While the data is being transmitted, the display will indicate
"Now Transmitting MIDI Data."
The size of the data and the time required for transmission
will depend on the type of data.
The following table shows the size of each data dump, and
the time required (MIDI).

*1: The USB-MIDI dump times listed here are for when the
M50 is connected to a computer with a USB 1.1 port. The
time required will change depending on the computer
system you're using.
Note: More time will be required if the song data contains
System Exclusive events, since these must be converted.
When performing a data dump from the M50 onto a
MIDI data filer, do not transmit multiple data dumps
together. If multiple data is saved together, then when
the data is re-transmitted from the data filer, the M50
will have less than the required time to write the data
into memory, and will be unable to receive all of the
data correctly.
Receiving SysEx data dumps
Do not touch the M50's switches or turn off the power
while SysEx data is being received.
Before receiving MIDI data, we recommend that you
close any open dialog box or menu, with the exception
of the Media mode menu command Save Exclusive
(Receive and Save MIDI System Exclusive Data)
dialog box.
After a data dump is received, the M50 will require
approximately one second to process the data and write
it into memory. During this time, the display will show
the message, "Now writing into internal memory."
While this message is shown, you must under no
circumstances turn off the power of the M50. If the
power is turned off during this time, the M50 may fail
to operate correctly when the power is turned on again.
In this case, hold down the RESET CONTROLS switch
together with REALTIME CONTROL switch, and turn
on the power. However, this will initialize the contents
of memory.
