Transmitting programs and other data (Data Dump)
Program data and global data can be transmitted from the microKORG XL
as MIDI exclusive data. The action of transmitting MIDI exclusive data to an
external MIDI device is called a "data dump."
By performing a data dump you can store various types of data on an exter-
nal MIDI device, or change the sounds or settings of another microKORG
XL unit.
If the microKORG XL receives a dump request from an external device,
NOTE
it will execute a data dump according to the type of request that it re-
ceived.
If you want data dumps to be received, turn the GLOBAL page "PRO-
NOTE
TECT" parameter off, and set the MIDI FLT page "SYS EX" parameter to
ENABLE. If this is set to DISABLE, data dumps cannot be received.
The "MIDI Implementation" including details on the MIDI exclusive format
NOTE
can be downloaded from the Korg website.
Do not touch the microKORG XL's knobs or keyboard while data is
being transmitted or received. Never turn off the power during this
time.
Some MIDI interface devices may be unable to transmit or receive
the microKORG XL's MIDI exclusive messages.
