Before data that was saved on an external MIDI device can be transmitted back to the XV-88, the Device ID parameter (SYSTEM/MIDI/SYSTEM MIDI) must be set to the value that it had when the data was saved, and the Rx Sys.Excl parameter (SYSTEM/MIDI/SYSTEM MIDI) must be turned ON (p. 171). At the factory settings, the Device ID parameter is set to 17 and the Rx Sys.Excl parameter is set to ON.
