MIDI Data Dump
You can save the current sound settings (Single or Layer mode) on an external MIDI
storage device, like a sequencer or a MIDI data filer. You can later reload these data
into the SP-250, to restore a saved set of data.
Warning: To avoid loosing data, carefully read the owner's manual of your MIDI
data filer. Loading data into the memory of the SP-250 will erase all existing data.
Hint: To avoid any trouble, don’t forget to deactivate System Exclusive data recep-
tion on the connected device.
The following table shows which data are saved with the Data Dump.
Saving data to the data filer. Here is how to save the data of the SP-250.
1 Use a MIDI cable to connect the SP-250 MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN of the data
filer.
2 Prepare the data filer to receive MIDI data.
3 On the SP-250, hold down the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button, and press the
VIBES/GUITAR sound selection button. The LEDs of the TRANSPOSE/FUNC-
TION and VIBES/GUITAR buttons will blink, indicating that the SP-250 is ready to
transmit the data dump.
4 Press the TOUCH button. The data dump will begin, and the sound setting data will
be transmitted to the data filer.
During a data dump operation, the SP-250 will not produce sound, and no other
function will work. When the data dump is completed, you will return to normal
playing condition.
You may cancel a data dump operation before the data dump begins, by pressing the
TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION or VIBES/GUITAR button.
Loading data from the data filer. You can load into the SP-250 data you previ-
ously saved on a data filer.

data filer.
