Transferring information from the XS-100 to a computer (MIDI bulk dump)

Here’s how to transfer the system and memory settings to a computer. This operation is called a “bulk dump”.

Use this to store system and memory settings on a computer as backup data.

  1. Use a TRS/MIDI connecting cable (BMIDI-5-35, sold separately) and a MIDI interface or the like to connect the XS-100 to your computer.
  2. On your DAW or other MIDI recording software, prepare a MIDI track that can record the MIDI output of the XS-100.
  3. When performing the bulk dump, connect to the MIDI jack of the XS-100. USB MIDI connection is not supported.
  4. Press the [MEMORY] button.
  5. The memory menu screen appears.
  6. Use the Select knob to select “MIDI BULK DUMP”, and press the Select knob.
  7. The MIDI BULKDUMP screen appears.
  9. Set the range of the bulk dump operation in the FROM and TO fields.
  10. Start recording on your DAW and press the [MEMORY] (EXEC) button on the XS-100.
  11. If you decide to cancel, press the [EXIT] (EXIT) button.
  12. When the bulk dump is finished, the memory screen is shown. Stop recording on your DAW.
