Receive MIDI Dumps

Make .sure .that .your .sequencer .or .MIDI .
application .is .ready .to .transmit .a .Sys .Ex .
package .and .that .the .MIDI .Out .from .the .
MIDI .interface .on .the .computer .is .con-
nected .to .the .MIDI .In .on .the .Nord .Drum . .

Start .the .transmission . .The .Nord .Drum .
will .automatically .receive .incoming .MIDI .
Sys .Ex .messages .that .it .is .compatible .
with . .

If .the .Sys .Ex .package .contains .all .the .99 .pro-
grams, .the .entire .memory .in .the .Nord .Drum .
will .be .replaced .by .the .content .of .the .Sys .Ex .
package, .except .for .any .edited .program .that .
was .in .the .edit .buffer .when .the .transmission .
started .

If .the .Sys .Ex .package .contains .one .program, .
this .program .will .be .placed .in .the .edit .buffer .
of .the .Nord .Drum . .You .have .to .Store .this .pro-
gram .to .a .location .in .the .memory, .if .you .want .
to .keep .it .in .the .unit .

Updating the Operating System

The .OS .in .the .Nord .Drum .may .be .updated .if .
the .functionality .is .subject .to .improvements .

This .is .achieved .by .using .a .MIDI .transmission .
from .a .computer .by .using .an .Update .Utility .
that .can .be .downloaded .from .the . .
www .norddrum .com .web .site . .The .Update .

computers, .make .sure .you .download . .the .one .
that .matches .your .computer . .

You .will .need .a .MIDI .interface .attached .to .the .
computer .in .order .to .perform .this .

Connect .the .MIDI .in .and .the .MIDI .Out .
