Yes Redbeard,
I have tried absolutely everything using SYSEX files downloaded from Korg and third party sources. I set all the settings how they should be, MIDI Ox sends the files and says its successfully sent them, but the X3 is still empty.
I'm totally bamboozled!

I presume this is the file you downloaded:
http://i.korg.com/uploads/Download/USA_X3_Factory_SysEx_Preload.zip

If so, there's a readme.txt file in it. That file explains how to set up the X3 so that it can receive the preload data. Once that's done, X3_All_DATA.syx "Restores all X3 settings to the factory defualt."

If that doesn't work correctly, the problem may be the quality of whatever MIDI interface you're using. Some inexpensive ones are incapable of sending SysEx messages of any significant length.

Let us know how it goes.

Placemat, I'm in the same boat. I got the preload from the Korg support site: http://i.korg.com/SupportPage.aspx?productid=630

However, using Sysex Librarian - https://www.snoize.com/SysExLibrarian/ I can't get my keyboard to receive the message.

Is there some magic combination of things that have to happen in order for the keyboard to be in "receive" mode?

The manual doesn't seem to be of any help. http://i.korg.com/uploads/Support/X2_X3_Reference_Guide_634732831783630000.pdf

Am I missing something?



Hi there.

Please try these steps, I used MidiOX. Also NOT all MIDI interfaces work with vintage boards, please AVOID the USB to MIDI cables.

This info is on the txt file on the official download link from KORG

"
To load a file, you will need to enable the receipt of system exclusive data on the X3. You may also need to turn off memory Protections. Follow the instructions below.

1. Press GLOBAL.

2. Press the CURSOR UP button 7 times to get to the screen entitled "3D FILTER2"
The second line will show "CTRL:ENA EX:DIS" with the "ENA" flashing.

3. Press the CURSOR RIGHT button to select the "EX:DIS" option. "DIS" should now be flashing.

4. Press the UP/YES button to change "EX:DIS" to "EX:ENA".

5. The X3 memory protection settings are located in the next three pages of the GLOBAL mode. Use the CURSOR UP button to select the PROGRAM, COMBINATION, and SEQUENCE protect pages, and use the VALUE buttons to set each to OFF.

6. Use your MIDI software to send the sysex file to the X3.
The bottom line of the display should read "Processing..." while the data is being sent.
"

It's also recommended to initialize (Power Up holding ENTER and CURSOR DOWN)

Hope this helps!

Happy Holidays to all!

No problem. Either Redbeard25 hasn't seen either of our messages, or doesn't feel the need to acknowledge assistance.

Such a lack of response has become all too common. I don't think I'm going to bother with this forum anymore. I have better things to do with my time than to waste it here.
