    JayB’s Sound Set for KORG X5D (X5*, 05R/W*, X5DR)

    Installation Guide
    Thank you for choosing my sound set for the underestimated Korg X5D. The following guide
    will help you transferring my sound bank to your synth.

    The file JayB_X5D.zip you’ve downloaded from my website contains three files:

    JayB_X5D.mid This file contains the sound set as SysEx data in standard MIDI file
    format.

    JayB_X5D.syx Same as above, but in RAW SysEx data format.

    JAYB.X5 This file contains the sound set in SE05 editor format.

    Choosing the right MIDI interface


    I regularly get mails from people trying to send my sound set to
    their X5D and the synth simply shows no reaction at all. In most
    cases people use this 10$ MIDI interface like you see on the right
    site. This cheap USB MIDI interface CANNOT HANDLE LONG
    SYSEX STRINGS, but unfortunately the X5D needs those. Please
    make sure your MIDI interface is a better quality one. I recommend
    brands like ESI, MOTU, Roland or Yamaha.

    Preparing your X5(D)


    Before you can use my sound set you have to make your X5(D) ready to receive SysEx data
    and store new sounds.
    ATTENTION: When you transfer a new sound set to your synth all programs of Bank A and
    all combinations will be overwritten. If you created your own sounds, make sure to create a
    backup before.

    First you have to establish a MIDI connection from your PC to your synth. If you want to
    backup sounds you of course have to make a connection from your X5D to your PC too.
    You can also use the classic To-Host connection, but I will not support this anymore.

    Then go into your GLOBAL menu and set the following parameters:

    02A MIDI GLOBAL 02C EXT OUT SEL 02E MIDI FILTER
    CH= 1 NoteR:ALL MIDI CTRL:ENA EX:ENA

    03A PROTECT 03B PROTECT


    PROGRAM:OFF COMBINATION:OFF

    Leave the GLOBAL menu again.

    Transferring the sound set using the SE-05 editor


    If you’re using a non-64-bit Windows you can use
    the old SE-05 editor that originally came with the
    Korg X5D. You can find a download link on my
    website.
    Install it, start it and select the MIDI ports your
    X5D in the MIDI Setup window. Afterwards it
    should show the connected device including ROM
    number.

    Next open JAYB.X5. You should see the list of my


    program patches. Now all you have to do is
    choose “Transmit…” from the “MIDI” menu and
    click OK. The X5D will show “processing…” and
    after a couple of seconds everything is there.

    If you want to backup your own sounds before, select “Receive…” from the “MIDI” menu and
    click OK. Afterwards save the sounds as .X5 or .05R file.

    Transferring the sound set on Windows x64
    If you’re using a 64-bit Windows system or don’t want
    to use the SE05 editor, you can use Bome’s SendSX
    to transfer my sound set.
    Open JayB_X5D.mid with it. You will see a couple of
    lines of numbers and letters in the “Midi Out” box.
    From the Midi Out menu select the MIDI port the X5D
    is connected to. Then click on “Send (F4)” and wait a
    while. Done!

    To backup your own sounds, select the MIDI In port from the 04A MIDI DUMP
    “Midi In” menu and manually send a dump from GLOBAL menu. ALL » MIDI OK?
    Bome’s SendSX will automatically start receiving.

    Transferring the sound set on Mac OS X


    On OS X I recommend using the snoize SysEx
    Librarian.
    Simply add the JayB_X5D.mid to the library, select the
    port the X5D is connected to as “Destination” and
    click on “Play”. That’s it.

    For backing up your current sound set, click on the


    “Record Many” buttons and send your MIDI dump
    from Global page 04A (as seen above).

    * Note for X5 and 05R/W users: Some sounds require waveforms only available on the
    X5D(R), such as WhiteNoise. These patches will sound wrong on your device. This is not
    due to a faulty sysex transfer but a limitation of your synthesizer.
