System version 1.10 added the ability to export and import Programs (sounds and pattern data) that you create on the JD-Xi to a computer. Exported data can also be imported back into the JD-Xi and there are now 8 extra banks (labelled S-Z) available for importing Programs.
This can be useful for backing up data and also sharing Programs with other JD-Xi users.
Exporting Data from the JD-Xi to a Computer
1. Using a standard USB cable, connect the JD-Xi to your computer.
2. While holding down the SHIFT and ENTER buttons, power-on the JD-Xi. When the screen displays “Export,” release the buttons.
3. Use the Cursor buttons and the Value buttons to specify the range of programs that you want to export (you can export a maximum of 64 programs /one bank).
4. Press ENTER. The screen will display “Export...,” and an “EXPORT” folder will open on the computer’s screen.
5. From the “EXPORT” folder on your computer, copy the “JDXI_EXP.BIN” file
to your computer.
6. On your computer, perform the appropriate operation to disconnect (unmount) the JD-Xi (the JD-Xi’s screen returns to “Export”).
Note: Never turn off the JD-Xi’s power while the Export operation is being executed.
Note: If the “Export” screen does not return when you disconnect (unmount) the JD-Xi, press the JD-Xi’s EXIT button. If you are using a Mac, you must press the JD-Xi’s EXIT button after you unmount the connection.
If you wish to continue exporting data, repeat steps 3 through 6. When finished, power-off the JD-Xi.
TIPS
- Exporting user data does not remove the user data disappear from the JD-Xi itself.
- You are free to rename the exported user data, but you must not change the .BIN file name extension.
