Data dump transmission procedure

1Connect this instrument to the device that will receive

the data dump.

If you’re using a computer that is able to receive MIDI

exclusive messages, connect the computer’s USB connec-

tor to the X50/microX’s USB connector. Alternatively,

connect the MIDI IN connector of your computer’s MIDI

interface to the X50/microX’s MIDI OUT connector

(☞p.171).

If you are using a MIDI data ﬁlter etc., connect this

instrument’s MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN con-

nector of the MIDI data ﬁlter.

Some USB-MIDI interface devices may not be able to

transmit or receive the X50/microX’s MIDI exclusive

messages.

2Select GLOBAL 1: MIDI.

3In the Utility menu, select the data that you wish to

dump.

Shown below the “Dump Program” screen.

If you wish to dump all program data, set “Program” to

All.

If you wish to dump data for an individual bank, set

“Program” to Bank, and specify the bank number below

it. If you wish to dump data for an individual program,

set “Program” to Single, and specify the program num-

ber below it.

4Use the “To” ﬁeld to specify the output destination of the

data.

Choose MIDI OUT if you want to send the data from the

MIDI OUT connector. Choose USB if you want to send

the data from the USB connector.

5Press the [MENU/OK] button to transmit the data.

While the data is being transmitted, the display will indi-

cate “Now transmitting data.”
