SysEx transfers to the MPD26

You can also load preset data into the MPD26 from an external source by “playing” a SysEx file into the MPD26. This can be done with a variety of SysEx applications, many of which are widely and freely available over the Internet.

1.Make sure that the device is connected to the MPD26 either via the USB or the MIDI IN port.

2.Make sure that you are in Preset Mode.

3.“Play” the SysEx file on your external device or computer.

Please note that when transferring SysEx information into the MPD26, the data will override the data of the original Preset which was sent to your SysEx editor. For example, if you transfer Preset 5 to your SysEx editor and then send it back to the MPD26, the data will overwrite Preset 5.

VERSION allows you to see what version of the operating system and firmware is currently loaded onto the MPD26.

While in Global Mode, press [>] to scroll to Ver (page 11) for version information.
