Transmitting the DR-670’s Data
to an External MIDI Device/
Returning Transmitted Data to
the DR-670
Transmitting the DR-670’s data to a MIDI
sequencer or another DR-670 is known as “
Bulk
Dump .”
Conversely, returning data saved to a MIDI
sequencer back to the DR-670, or receiving data
transmitted from another DR-670 is referred to
as “
Bulk Load .”
■ Setting the Device ID
Although patterns, drum kits, and other device-
specific data are transmitted and received in
“Bulk Dump” and “Bulk Load” as “Exclusive
messages,” the number used by the devices to
recognize each other (the Device ID number)
must match.

3. Press [START].
Bulk Dump starts, and the tempo indicator
lights up.
After a few moments, the tempo indicator
goes out, and the Bulk Dump is completed.
* If you do inadvertently start Bulk Dump, you
can cancel transmission by pressing [STOP/
CONT]. Do not use the data from the cancelled
operation.
* When executing Bulk Dump with “ALL”
selected, the memory of the receiving device may
become filled, and any data following that will
not be received.
If this occurs, change the setting for the
transmitted data to “SEQ,” “UTIL,” or “KIT,”
then execute Bulk Dump.
