Select the desired function (please see the following table), and a
dialog box will appear.
Then, select the bank or timbre etc. of the data to be dumped, and

Sending SysEx data dumps
Do not touch the KROSS's buttons or turn off the power
while SysEx data is being transmitted.
Sending a data dump
1. Connect the KROSS 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 KROSS's USB connector to
your computer's USB connector.
If you want to transmit the data to another KROSS or to a MIDI
data filer, connect the KROSS's MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI
IN connector of the receiving device.
2. Select GLOBAL G–MIDI page.
3. The following illustration shows the dialog box that will
appear when Dump Program is selected.
If you want to dump one bank, select Bank, or if you want to
dump one program select Single.
4. Use the To field to select the output connector that will
transmit the data.
MIDI: 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
KROSS 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 KROSS onto a MIDI
data filer, do not transmit multiple data dumps together. If
multiple data dumps are saved together, and the KROSS later
attempts to receive this data, it will not have enough
processing time to write the data into memory, making it
impossible for all of the data to be received.
Receiving SysEx data dumps
Do not touch the KROSS's switches or turn off the power
while SysEx data is being received.
Before receiving data, close any dialog box, PAGE menu, or
function.
After a data dump is received, the KROSS 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, under no circumstances should you turn off the power
of the KROSS. If the power is turned off during this time, the
KROSS may fail to operate correctly when the power is
turned on again. In this case, hold down the EXIT button
together with PAGE button, and turn on the power. However,
this will initialize the contents of memory.
Transmission and reception of any other MIDI data is also
impossible during this time. When receiving multiple data
dumps in succession, you must allow enough time between
each data dump for the message to disappear from the screen.
MIDI cannot be transmitted or received while data is being
written into internal memory. Also, transmission of Active
Sensing (FEh) from the MIDI OUT connector and USB
connector will be halted.
Receiving a data dump
1. Connect the KROSS with the device that will transmit the
data dump.
