2. Select the MIDI row in the GLOBAL EDIT menu. Then select SYSEX REC and press

up in the menu.
5. Now initiate the data send from the sending device.
6. A counter will display how many messages have been received, and, if you have a bad
connection, how many erroneous messages have been received and ignored.
• Received data will overwrite any previous data in the memory in the positions
where it is placed. Make sure you have backed up any important data using sysex
send.
• Receiving sysex data may take a while, depending on the size of the transmitted
data.
• You don’t have to enter this menu for receiving sysex data. Just send the data to
the Machinedrum at any time and it will store it where it was originally saved. See
“GENERAL SYSEX RECEIVE” on page 67 for more info.
SPECIFIC PLACE SYSEX RECEIVE
To relocate the data that you send to the Machinedrum, you need to use the SPECIFIC
receive method. You can specify starting positions for each category of data. Since the
Machinedrum does not know in advance what kind of and how much data you will send, it
will place the data beginning with the start position you specify. For example, if you specify
KIT:03 and receive four kits, positions 3 to 7 will be written over no matter where the
received kits were originally placed.
To receive the data starting from a specified position, you need to:
1. Make sure that you have connected the Machinedrum MIDI IN port to the MIDI OUT port
of the device that is sending the sysex data.
