Transmitting sound settings etc. (Data Dump)
Program data and global data can be transmitted as a MIDI exclusive data. The action of transmitting MIDI exclusive data to an external MIDI device is called a data dump.
By performing a data dump, you can store various types of data on an external MIDI device, or rewrite the sounds or settings of a second MS2000/MS2000R.
Data dumps can be performed on the MS2000/MS2000R as follows.
•In Global mode Page 3F: MIDI Dump, select the type of data to be transmitted (1PROG, PROG, GLOBAL, ALL), and transmit the data dump.
1PROG will dump only the data for the program select- ing in Program Play mode. When the MS2000/MS2000R receives such a data dump, the settings of the currently selected program will be rewritten by the data that was received.
In this case, the data will not be saved unless you per- form the Write operation.
PROG will dump the data for all programs saved in memory.
GLOBAL will dump global data (Global mode settings). ALL will dump all programs as well as global data.
If PROG, GLOBAL, or ALL dumps are received by the MS2000/MS2000R, the data will be written directly into internal memory; you do not need to perform the Write operation.
•When a dump request is received from an external device, the MS2000/MS2000R will transmit the data dump that was requested.
•When you switch to LCD Edit mode, the data of only the selected program will be dumped.
If you wish to receive a data dump, set Global mode Page 4D: MIDI FILTER “SystemEx” to ENA. If this is set to DIS, data dumps will not be received.
If you wish to obtain the “MIDI Implementation” which includes details of the MIDI exclusive format, please contact a Korg dealer.
