BULK DUMP procedure

The D5000 should be correctly connected to an external MIDI device, for example, a MIDI data filer
such as the Yamaha MDF2. Set the desired parameters. Make certain that the external MIDI device
is ready to receive your data.

To execute the MIDI bulk dump request, press the

[ < ] "

STORE

" CURSOR key. While the bulk

dump is in progress, the message "

BULK OUT...

" will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Receiving bulk data

The D5000 can also receive ("load") bulk data from another D5000, a MIDI data filer, a computer,
or other MIDI device. In order to successfully receive data, you must perform the following steps:

•

Set the SOFTWARE PROTECT parameter to

OFF

(see page 22).

•

Check that the MIDI channel is either

OMNI

or the same channel as the transmitting device

(see page 24).

•

Execute the bulk dump command on the external MIDI device.
