DUMPING/IMPORTING DATA

The MD-1600’s internal data, including data recorded to memory and synthesiz- er data, can be sent and received in bulk as MIDI exclusive data through the MIDI terminals. Thus, you can use a comput- er or other MIDI device as an external storage device.

First make connections from the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals to an external device using MIDI cables.
