4. Use the To field to select the output connector that will
transmit the data.
MIDI OUT: MIDI OUT connector
USB: USB B 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).
Type of data to be dumped
Program All
Program Bank (EDS+RADIAS)
Program Single (EDS)
Program Single (RADIAS)
Combination All
Combination Bank
Combination Single
Drum Kit All
Drum Kit Single
Global Setting
Sequencer
Drum Track Pattern All
Drum Track Pattern Single
RADIAS Formant Motion All*
RADIAS Formant Motion Single*
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 M3 onto a
MIDI data filer, do not transmit multiple data dumps
together. If multiple data is saved together, the M3 will
have less than the required time (right column in the
table above) to write the data into memory, and will be
unable to receive all of the data correctly.
*: RADIAS Formant Motion can be selected and executed
only if the EXB-RADIAS option is installed.
Receiving SysEx data dumps
Do not touch the M3's switches or turn off the power
while 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 M3 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 M3. If the
power is turned off during this time, the M3 may fail to
operate correctly when the power is turned on again.

In this case, hold down the RESET CONTROLS switch
together with switches 1 and 2, and turn on the power.
However, this will initialize the contents of memory.
Transmission and reception of 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. (see table below)
Processing time (MIDI) for writing into memory
Type of data dumped Processing time for writing into memory
Approximately 1 second (each bank
All Programs
received)
Approximately 1 second (each bank

All Drum Kits Approximately 1 second
Global Setting Approximately 1 second
Sequencer Approximately 1 second
Drum Track Pattern Approximately 1 second
RADIAS Formant Motion Approximately 80 seconds
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 B connector will be halted.
Caution when receiving Dump Program:
• If the EXB-RADIAS is not installed, RADIAS bank type
data will not be received.
• When receiving a single program dump, the data will
not be received if the bank type of the received program
is different. For U-A–G banks, use Global Set Prog User-
Bank Type to specify the correct bank type, and then
receive the data once again.
• When receiving Program All or Program Bank dumps,
be aware that the existing data will be overwritten if
data of a different bank type is received into U-A–G.
Receiving a data dump
1. Connect the M3 with the device that will transmit the
data dump.
If you're receiving data from a computer that can transmit
MIDI exclusive data, connect the M3's USB B connector to
your computer's USB connector. (See page 614)
If you're receiving data from another M3 or from a MIDI
data filer, connect the M3's MIDI IN connector to the MIDI
OUT connector of the transmitting device. (See page 614)
2. Set the MIDI channel of the transmitting device to
match the M3's global MIDI channel MIDI Channel
(Global 1–1a).
If you want the M3 to receive data that was previously
transmitted to a MIDI device, you must set the global MIDI
channel of the M3 to the same global MIDI channel that was
used when the data was transmitted.
To set the MIDI channel of the transmitting device, please
see the owner's manual for that device.
3. Either check Enable Exclusive (Global 1–2b), or display
one of the menu commands of this page.
When one of these menu commands is displayed, data
dumps can be received regardless of the Enable Exclusive
setting.
4. Transmit the data from the other device. For the proce-
dure, please see the owner's manual for the device you
are using.
While the data is being received, the display will indicate
"Now receiving MIDI data."
