how do I do a data dump?

There are four types of data dump.
Dump Program: Dump data for one program.
Dump All Programs: Dump all program data.
Dump Global Parameter: Dump global data.
Dump All Programs and Global Parameter: Dump all
program data and global data.

Transmitting a data dump
1.Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the CX-3 to
the MIDI IN connector of the device that will
receive the data dump.
2.Enter Global mode.
The key LED will light.
3.While holding down the PROGRAM [7 ] key,,press
the [®] key six times..
The display will indicate Dump Program.
When you select Dump Program, the number of the
program to be dumped will be shown in the square
brackets [ ] at the right of the display.
If you wish to change the program, use the [-]/[+] keys.
The program transmitted here will be a program of
the mode that was last selected when you entered
Global mode in step 2. If you wish to dump a Normal
mode program, select Normal mode before entering
Global mode in step 2. Similarly, if you wish to dump
an EX mode program, select EX mode before entering
Global mode in step 2.
After pressing the PROGRAM [7] key, you can press
the [—-] from 6 to 9 times to select the following data
to dump.
[—-] key Screen display Dumped data
Press 6 times Dump Program parameters for 1
program
Press 7 times Dump All Program parameters for all
programs
Press 8 times Dump Global global parameters
Press 9 times Dump All Prog+Global all program and
global parameters
4.Press the [WRITE/ENTER ] key..
The display will ask you to confirm the dump operation.
5.When transmission is finished,the display will
indicate RxSysEx Completed.
If the display indicates RxSysEx Error, turn the power
off. Then while holding down the Program [2] and [7]
keys, turn the power on again. However, this will
initialize the contents of memory.
When the CX-3 receives data for one program, it will
enter the same mode (Normal mode or EX mode) in
which it was when that program was transmitted.
Since the CX-3 will switch to the received mode, you
will be in that mode when you press the [GLOBAL]
key or [EXIT] key to exit Global mode after receiving
the data dump.
