Transmit/receive dump data
Dump Pt.A, Pt.b, Pt.C, Pt.d, SnG, ALL
Transmission
Here's how system exclusive data (pattern data, song data, or
Global mode settings) can be transmitted from the EM-1 to an
external MIDI data filer or computer connected to the MIDI
OUT connector.
1. Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the EM-1 to the MIDI
IN connector of an external MIDI device that is able to re-
ceive MIDI data dumps (another EM-1, or a computer that
is running a MIDI data filer program or editing program,
etc.).
2. Set the MIDI channel of the external MIDI device and the
EM-1 to match. However when transmitting to a data filer,
it is not normally necessary to match the MIDI channel.
3. Hold down the Shift key and press step key 15 (key 15 will
light).
4. Turn the dial to select the data that you wish to transmit.
Pt.A: pattern bank A data (A.01—A.64)
Pt.b: pattern bank b data (b.01—b.64)
Pt.C: pattern bank C data (C.01—C.64)
Pt.d: pattern bank d data (d.01—d.64)
SnG: all song data
GLb: global data
5. Press step key 15 once again to finalize the data that will be
transmitted. (The Play/Pause key will blink.)
6. Press the Play/Pause key to transmit the data.
If you wish to cancel before transmitting the data dump, press
the Stop/Cancel key.
Reception
Here's how EM-1 system exclusive data can be received from
an external MIDI data filer or computer connected to the MIDI
IN connector.
When the Global mode Protect setting is "on," it is not
possible to receive MIDI dump data outside of Global
mode.
1. Connect the MIDI IN connector of the EM-1 to the MIDI
OUT connector of the external MIDI device that will trans-
mit the MIDI data dump (another EM-1, or a computer that
is running a MIDI data filer program or editing program,
etc.).
2. Set the MIDI channel (Synth part 1) of the external MIDI
device and the EM-1 to match. However when transmitting
from a data filer, it is not normally necessary to match the
MIDI channel.
3. Hold down the Shift key and press step key 15 (key 15 will
light).
4. Transmit the data dump from the external MIDI device.
Details on data dumps are provided in the MIDI implementa-
tion chart of the EM-1.
Consult your local Korg distributor for more information on
MIDI implementation
Do not touch the keys of the EM-1 while a data dump is
in progress.
When the parameter select LEDs indicate Dump, sys-
tem exclusive data can be transmitted or received even
if the MIDI Filter parameter "E" is set to "-."
When the EM-1 receives a data dump, it will take up to
ten seconds to write the data into memory (the Write
key will light). Never turn off the power of the EM-1 dur-
ing this time. Doing so may damage the data. Also, new
MIDI data cannot be received during this time. If you
want the EM-1 to receive multiple data dumps in suc-
cession, you must leave an interval between each of
the transmitted data dumps.
Memory Protect (Protect)
This is the protect setting for Pattern mode and Song mode.
When protect is “on,” the Write key will not function, and it
will not be possible to rewrite data or receive a MIDI data dump.
When you wish to save edited data or receive a data dump,
turn protect “oFF.”
1. Press the Stop/Cancel key to stop playback.
2. Hold down the Shift key and press step key 16 (Protect).
(Key 16 will blink.)
3. Rotate the dial to change the blinking display to either “on”
or “oFF.”
4. Press step key 16 once again to finalize the protect on/off
setting (key 16 will go dark).
If you decide to cancel without changing the setting, press the
Stop/Cancel key.
If you wish to save the protect setting, perform the Global mode
Write operation (described below).
With the factory settings, this is turned on.
This setting is valid in Pattern mode and Song mode. In
Global mode, it is always possible to execute Write re-
gardless of the Memory Protect setting.
Saving your changes in Glo-
bal mode (WRITE)
Here’s how you can save the changes you made in Global
mode.
If you wish to save the changes you made, you must perform
this Write operation. The settings will take effect whenever
the power is turned on. Conversely, if you do not want to save
the changes you made, simply turn off the power without
Writing.
1. Press the Stop/Cancel key to stop playback.
2. Press the Global mode key.
3. Press the Write key once (the key will blink). The display
will indicate “– – –.”
4. Press the Write key once again to complete the operation.
If you decide to cancel, press the Stop/Cancel key.
In Global mode it is always possible to write, regardless of the
Memory Protect setting (preceding section).
Never turn off the power while data is being written into
memory. Doing so may destroy the data.
