6-1. MIDI DATA DUMP ( )
Data dump
Data dump
"Data dump" is a function that transmits
program or global data in the form of
MIDI exclusive data, so that it can be
saved on a connected MIDI data filer or
computer. This can also be used to
transmit data to another microKORG
unit.
Do not touch the knobs or keyboard of
the microKORG while data is being
transmitted or received. Also, never
turn the power off during this time.
Some USB-MIDI interface devices may
not be able to transmit/receive the
microKORG's MIDI exclusive
messages.
Transmission procedure
1
Connect the microKORG's MIDI OUT
connector to the MIDI IN connector of
a device that is able to receive a MIDI
data dump, and set both devices to the
same MIDI channel.
2
Hold down the SHIFT key and press
the 6 key.
The display will indicate "

Reception procedure
Use the following procedure when you
want to return previously-saved data
from a connected MIDI data filer or
computer back to the microKORG, or to
receive data from another microKORG
unit.
1
Connect the microKORG's MIDI IN
connector to the MIDI OUT connector
of the device that will transmit the
MIDI dump data.
2
Set the MIDI channel of the transmit-
ting device to match the microKORG's
MIDI channel. If you previously
transmitted data to an external MIDI
device and want to receive it into the
microKORG, set the microKORG's
MIDI channel to the same setting as
when it originally transmitted the data.
3
Set the SHIFT function MIDI FILTER
"SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE" to Enable.
