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 />

MIDI IN<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 />
