System Exclusive Data Transmission
System Exclusive data transmission lets you send and receive the contents of the Q’s memory via
MIDI (dump).
Sending System Exclusive Data
When you activate the send functions, the Q sends the contents of its memory to the MIDI Out jack.
Using a sequencer or a special sound editor program, you can record and archive this data.
☞ To activate the dump function:
1. Press Shift+Utility. The display shows a page where you can select the dump type:
Dump Sound A001

2. Use the page dial to select the desired dump function:
• If Sound is selected, the current Sound program will be sent. When used in
Multimode, the Sound program of the currently selected instrument will be sent.

made up the Multi are not sent. This function is only available in Multimode.
