Saving data on an external<br />
sequencer (Bulk Dump)<br />
Data for the currently selected pattern or for all data in<br />
memory can be transmitted from the D2 to another D2, or to<br />
an external MIDI sequencer (such as the <strong>Roland</strong> MC-80) for<br />
saving. Transmitting this data is called bulk dump, and<br />
receiving this data is called bulk load.<br />
Transmission (bulk dump) procedure<br />
Here’s how data stored in the D2 can be transmitted to a<br />
sequencer or other external MIDI device for saving.<br />

Sequencer<br />
1. Press [SYSTEM] several times to access the MIDI<br />
transmission setting display.<br />
2. Press [ENTER] to access the Bulk Dump setting<br />
display.<br />
3. Turn [VALUE] to select either “Ptn” (transmit the<br />
data of the current pattern) or “ALL” (transmit all<br />
data).<br />
4. Press [ENTER].<br />
The display will ask “SurE” (are you sure you want to<br />
proceed with the transmission?)<br />
* To cancel the operation, press [EXIT].<br />
5. Set your connected MIDI device so it is ready to<br />
receive data.<br />
6. Press [ENTER] to begin the transmission.<br />
Once the data transmission has been completed, the<br />
previous display will reappear.<br />

reception setting display.<br />
2. Press [ENTER] several times to access the Bulk Load<br />
setting display.<br />
3. Turn [VALUE] to select either “Ptn” (receive the data<br />
of the current pattern) or “ALL” (receive all data).<br />

Sequencer D2<br />
5. Press [ENTER] and reception will begin.<br />
6. Transmit data from the connected MIDI device.<br />
Once the data reception has been completed, the<br />
previous display will reappear.<br />
When you enter Bulk Load, the contents of the pattern being<br />
editing will be changed. If you selected “ALL” in step 3, all of<br />
the data will be changed.<br />
Never turn off the power while bulk load is in progress.<br />
Doing so may destroy the contents of memory.<br />
