Midi Data Dump - Korg SP-250 User Manual

MIDI Data Dump

You can save the current sound settings (Single or Layer mode) on an external MIDI
storage device, like a sequencer or a MIDI data filer. You can later reload these data
into the SP-250, to restore a saved set of data.
Warning: To avoid loosing data, carefully read the owner's manual of your MIDI
data filer. Loading data into the memory of the SP-250 will erase all existing data.
Hint: To avoid any trouble, don't forget to deactivate System Exclusive data recep-
tion on the connected device.
The following table shows which data are saved with the Data Dump.
