Manufacturers are free to use system exclusive messages in any
way they choose, and these messages are used mainly to trans-

9. Transmitting sound setting
data (Data Dump)
Song, Pattern, or All (song, pattern, global) data can be trans-
mitted as MIDI exclusive data, and stored on an external de-
vice. This data is transmitted by the MIDI mode Dump com-
mand. The channel used for transmission and reception of this
data is set by the MIDI mode MIDI ch setting. Data dumps are
also transmitted when a Data Dump Request message is re-
ceived.
10. Editing sounds etc.
By sending MIDI exclusive data dumps, you can rewrite all
patterns or individual programs. By using NRPN messages in
Pattern mode, you can edit the knobs that are active for each
part.
