Once again, press the button " Tune/Function" to confirm your new settings. The value " On" now will blink, use the vector joystick of the D-50 to switch the value to " Off" (use the joystick on the left/right axis). Select the function "Protect" by pressing the button " Tone Balance". In the display, you will see " Protect" switched on by default. Press the button " Tune/Function" to access the system function settings.
With write protection activated, you wont be able to load new soundsets into the D-50. If you backup your data because you want to replace the current D-50 soundset with another one, it is important to disable the internal write protection. If you just want to backup your D-50 data, you can skip this step. On the internet, you will find several free SysEx data transfer tools. In general, all SysEx tools will work the same way, including those running under Windows or Linux. In this tutorial, the free SysEx tool "SysEx Librarian" (Mac OSX) is used to demonstrate the functionality. If you plan to use MIDI also to load SysEx data into the D-50, you will have to connect the D-50 via "MIDI-Out" (send data) and "MIDI-In" (receive data). If you simply want to backup your D-50 data via MIDI, the D-50 must be connected to a MIDI-Interface at least via "MIDI-Out". So, besides backup, you can discover a wider palette of sounds. Backup your data using Sysex always make sense, but besides the backup aspect, SysEx enables you to try and use various soundsets by just loading them into your synthesizer.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to handle SysEx on the Roland D-50. SysEx (in short term for "system exclusive messages") is a protocol to transfer system exclusive data between 2 devices to backup or restore data, for example patches, presets and user settings of a device.
