MIDI SYS-EX Storage
Sending MIDI Sys-Ex Messages to Another SQ-R or to a Storage Device
The SQ-R is able to send system exclusive dumps of Sounds, either singly or in
banks, as well as preset dumps containing either the entire preset memory or the
current preset. These dumps can be understood by another SQ-R, or can be
recorded by a remote device which has MIDI Sys-Ex Recorder capabilities (such
as the ENSONIQ EPS or VFXSD), to be stored and later re-transmitted to the
SQ-R.
Banks of sounds are always transmitted from the internal RAM memory (INT).
If you want to send card data, use the Sound Storage function to transfer data
from the card into the internal RAM first.

message. The dump contains data for the complete set of 80 Sounds.
"Operation = SAVE SOUND TO MIDI" —- this command will transmit the
currently selected sound as a system exclusive message. The sound to be
transmitted can be in any bank, including the INT, ROM, CARD A or CARD B
banks.
Once you have selected either SAVE INT TO MIDI or SAVE SOUND TO
MIDI, press Enter/Save. The display will read "Please wait. . . sending
