DUMPING/IMPORTING
DATA
The keyboard’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.
Note:
Some software does not support
MIDI exclusive data.

See the owner’s manual that comes
