DM5 Reference Manual
To allow for running several DM5s in the same MIDI setup, System Exclusive data is
channelized. In other words, if you save the data while set to channel 1, the DM5
must be set to channel 1 (or Omni, which receives all channels) when you send it
back to retrieve this data. It’s a good idea to include the channel assignment in the
System Exclusive file name to prevent possible confusion.

Note: The DM5 is capable of sending and receiving its Trigger Setup data to and from
not only another DM5, but a D4 as well. This is important if you are upgrading from
a D4 to the DM5, since you can transfer the Trigger Setup information instead of
setting it up manually from scratch.

The DM5 will automatically load DM5 system exclusive data detected at its MIDI In.
Therefore, there is no associated function since reception can occur at any time that a
sys ex storage device or another DM5 sends data through its [MIDI OUT] into the
DM5’s [MIDI IN].
