Restoring The Factory Settings - Korg Microkorg XL User Manual

Procedure for transmission
Connect the microKORG XL's MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN of the
device that will be receiving the MIDI data dump, and set both devices to
the same MIDI channel. If you want to use a USB connection, connect the
microKORG XL to your computer via a USB cable.
For details on connections, refer to page 80 "1.Using the microKORG XL
NOTE
with other MIDI devices (MIDI)".
1. In Full Edit mode, use knob [1] to select the "MIDI.DUMP"
page.
2. Use knob [2] to select the data that you want to dump.

ted (the parameters in the NAME–VC BAND pages, and the settings of the
front panel buttons and knobs).

Procedure for reception
Here's how data saved on a connected MIDI data filer or computer can be
sent back to the microKORG XL, or data received from another
microKORG XL unit.
1. Connect the microKORG XL's MIDI IN connector to the
MIDI OUT of the device that will be transmitting the MIDI
data dump.
If you're using a USB connection, connect the microKORG XL to your
computer via a USB cable.
2. Set both the transmitting device and the microKORG XL to
the same MIDI channel.
If you want the microKORG XL to receive data that was previously trans-
mitted to an external MIDI device, set the microKORG XL to the same
MIDI channel as when it transmitted the data.
3. In the MIDI FLT page, set "SYS EX" to ENABLE ( p. 61),
and turn the GLOBAL page "PROTECT" parameter OFF
( p. 59).
4. Transmit the data from your MIDI data filer or other device.
For details on how to transmit data, please refer to the owner's manual of
the device you're using.

Restoring the factory settings

Here's how to restore the microKORG XL's programs and global data set-
tings to their factory-set condition.
The factory settings are called the "preload data."
When you execute the Preload operation, the microKORG XL's data
will be rewritten to the factory-set condition. Before you continue,
make sure that it's OK to rewrite the data.
Do not touch the microKORG XL's knobs or keyboard while the Pre-
load operation is in progress. Never turn off the power during this
operation.
You can't execute the Preload operation if Write Protect is turned on. You
NOTE
must turn off Write Protect before you execute this.
1. In Full Edit mode, turn knob [1] to select "PRELOAD."
