Sequencing.  
This setup allows you to use your Micron with a MIDI sequencer 
or a computer with a MIDI interface. Attach one MIDI cable from 
the MIDI OUT of the sequencer or computer to the (MIDI IN) 
jack of the Micron. Attach another cable from the Micron’s 
(MIDI OUT) jack to the MIDI IN of the sequencer or computer. 
 
For this setup, switch the Micron’s Local Control setting to OFF 
(in the [config] settings). 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Saving Programs, Setups, Rhythms, and 
Patterns via MIDI System Exclusive 
 
The Micron lets you transmit Programs, Setups, Rhythms, and 
Patterns to an external device (such as a computer, sequencer, 
storage device, or another Micron synthesizer) via MIDI.  
 
MIDI devices use a protocol called “System Exclusive” messaging 
(Sysex for short) for transmitting and receiving these 
communications. 
 
Use the Send Sysex and Send SysEx Bundle commands from within 
the [programs][setups][rhythms], or [patterns] modes to 
send this information. 
 
To save a SysEx on your computer, you can typically start your 
sequencer recording, send the SysEx from the Micron, and then 
save the MIDI file in your sequencer.  Your sequencer may also 
have features for receiving and storing a "SysEx dump" directly.  
Consult your sequencer's reference manual
