Transmitting sound settings and
other data
Song, pattern, global, and MIDI settings can be transmit-
ted from the ESX-1 as MIDI exclusive data and stored on
an external device.
Transmitting/receiving a data
dump
Data dumps are transmitted and received on the
MIDI channel specified by the Global mode MIDI
Ch setting. Data dumps can be transmitted manu-
ally as described below, and are also transmitted
in response to a Data Dump Request message of
the appropriate type.

Transmitting

Here's how to transmit an ESX-1 system exclusive
data dump (pattern, song, or global mode settings)
from MIDI OUT to a connected MIDI data filer or
computer.
1. Connect the ESX-1's MIDI OUT connector to the
MIDI IN connector of an external MIDI device that
is able to receive the MIDI data dump (e.g., another
ESX-1, a MIDI data filer, or a personal computer
that is running a MIDI data management program).
2. Set your external MIDI device and the ESX-1 to the
same MIDI channel. If you are transmitting to a
MIDI data filer, you do not normally need to set
the MIDI channel to match.
3. Press the Global key (the key will light).
4. Hold down the shift key and press step key 15
(MIDI UTILITY) (key 15 will light). The parameter
display will indicate "MIDIUtil."
5. The value display will indicate "Filter." Turn the
dial to change this to "Dump," and press key 15.
6. The parameter display will indicate "MIDIDump."
The value display will read "(data to be transmit-
ted)." Turn the dial to select the data that you want
to transmit.

7. Press key 15 once again to transmit the data. If you
decide to cancel before you have begun transmis-
sion, press the STOP/CANCEL key.

Receiving

Here's how to receive an ESX-1 system exclusive
data dump from an external MIDI data filer or com-
puter connected to the ESX-1's MIDI IN connector.
If the Global mode Protect setting is "On," MIDI data
dump reception is disabled except when you are in
Global mode.

1. Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the external
MIDI device that will transmit the data dump (an-
other ESX-1, a MIDI data filer, or a personal com-
puter that is running a MIDI data management
program) to the MIDI IN connector of the ESX-1.
2. Set your external MIDI device and the ESX-1 to the
same MIDI channel (the keyboard part 1 setting on
the ESX-1). If you are transmitting data from a data
filer, use the same channel setting as when you
saved the data.
3. Press the Global key (the key will light).
4. Hold down the shift key and press step key 15
(MIDI UTILITY) (key 15 will light). The parameter
display will indicate "MIDIUtil."
5. The value display will indicate "Filter." Turn the
dial to change this to "Dump," and then press key
15.
6. The parameter display will indicate "MIDIDump."
Operate the external device to make it transmit the
data dump to the ESX-1.
For details on data dumps, refer to the ESX-1's MIDI
implementation. If you wish to obtain the MIDI imple-
mentation, please contact Korg distributor.
Do not touch the ESX-1's keys while a data dump
is being executed. While you are using the Dump
function, the ESX-1 can transmit or receive sys-
tem exclusive data even if the MIDI FILTER pa-
rameter "E" is set to "x."
When the ESX-1 receives a data dump, it will take
up to ten seconds for the data to be written into
memory (the Write/Rename key will light). Never
turn off the ESX-1's power while this is occurring.
Doing so may destroy the data. Also, new MIDI data
cannot be received during this time. When receiv-
ing two or more data dumps into the ESX-1, you
must allow an appropriate interval of time between
each data dump.

Switching patterns

When you switch patterns, the ESX-1 will transmit a pro-
gram change message [Cn, pp] (and Bank Select [Bn, 00, mm]
(control change #00), [Bn, 20, bb] (control change #32) (mm:
bank number upper byte, bb: bank number lower byte).
If the ESX-1 receives a program change message on the ap-
propriate MIDI channel, it will switch patterns within the
same group (e.g., from A01 to A02). If the ESX-1 receives a
bank select message, it will switch groups (e.g., from A01
to C01) so that patterns of another group can be selected.
The MIDI mode MIDI Filter setting determines whether the
ESX-1 will transmit and receive program changes.
