Global: Menu Command Dump Drum Track Pattern

4. Use the To field to select the output connector that will
transmit the data.
MIDI OUT: MIDI OUT connector
USB: USB connector
5. Press the OK button to transmit the data.
While the data is being transmitted, the display will indicate
“Now Transmitting MIDI Data.”
The size of the data and the time required for transmission
will depend on the type of data.
The following table shows the size of each data dump, and
the time required (MIDI).
*1: The USB‐MIDI dump times listed here are for when the
KROME is connected to a computer with a USB 1.1 port.
The time required will change depending on the
computer system you're using.
Note: More time will be required if the song data contains
System Exclusive events, since these must be converted.
When performing a data dump from the KROME onto
a MIDI data filer, do not transmit multiple data dumps
together. If multiple data is saved together, then when
the data is re‐transmitted from the data filer, the
KROME will have less than the required time to write
the data into memory, and will be unable to receive all
of the data correctly.
Receiving SysEx data dumps
Do not touch the KROME’s switches or turn off the
power while SysEx data is being received.
Before receiving MIDI data, we recommend that you
close any open dialog box or menu, with the exception
of the Media mode menu command Save Exclusive
(Receive and Save MIDI System Exclusive Data)
dialog box. Also, data dumps cannot be received while
in the Sequencer mode P6: Track Edit‐ Track View page.
Please move to another page, such as P0, before
receiving a data dump.
After a data dump is received, the KROME will require
approximately one second to process the data and write
it into memory. During this time, the display will show
the message, “Now writing into internal memory.”
While this message is shown, you must under no
circumstances turn off the power of the KROME. If the
power is turned off during this time, the KROME may
fail to operate correctly when the power is turned on
again.
In this case, hold down the EXIT button together with
PAGE button, and turn on the power. However, this
will initialize the contents of memory.
Transmission and reception of any other MIDI data is
also impossible during this time. When receiving
multiple data dumps in succession, you must allow
enough time between each data dump for the message
to disappear from the screen. (see table below)
Processing time (MIDI) for writing into memory
MIDI cannot be transmitted or received while data is
being written into internal memory. Also, transmission
of Active Sensing (FEh) from the MIDI OUT connector
and USB connector will be halted.
Receiving a data dump
1. Connect the KROME with the device that will transmit
the data dump.
If you’re transmitting data from a computer, connect the
KROME’s USB connector to your computer’s USB connector.
If you’re transmitting data from another KROME or from a
MIDI data filer, connect the target KROME’s MIDI IN
connector to the MIDI OUT connector of the transmitting
device.
2. Set the MIDI channel of the transmitting device to
match the KROME’s global MIDI channel MIDI Chan-
nel (Global 1–1a).
If you want the KROME to receive data that was previously
transmitted to a MIDI device, you must set the global MIDI
channel of the KROME to the same global MIDI channel that
was used when the data was transmitted.
To set the MIDI channel of the transmitting device, please
see the owner’s manual for that device.
3. Either check Enable Exclusive (Global 1–2b), or display
one of the menu commands of this page.
When one of these menu commands is displayed, data
dumps can be received regardless of the Enable Exclusive
setting.
4. Transmit the data from the other device. For the proce-
dure, please see the owner’s manual for the device you
are using.
While the data is being received, the display will indicate
“Now receiving MIDI data.”
