Job 5: RECEIVE BULK
The Receive Bulk job lets the RX8 receive data from another
RX8 (or a MIDI bulk data storage device) connected to MIDI IN.
Press SYNC/MIDI, then JOB + 5 to obtain the following display:
If you answer +1/ҮЕ$ to this, then the setup data (voice assign.
etc) will be received. If you answer -1/NO, then only pattern and
song data will be received. The display will change to:
Operate the other device (the other RX8 or MIDI bulk storage
device) to make it transmit data. When data begins to arrive, the
display will show:

The received RX8 data consists of Pattern, Song (including name
and initial tempo) and Voice (all settings in VOICE edit mode)
data.
If data not meant for an RX8 arrives, you will get an error
message "Different Type !". Such data is ignored. If the arriving
data has been corrupted, you will get an error message "Receive
Error !". Check MIDI connections and try again. If a Receive
Error occurs, all data in the receiving RX8 will be re-initialized.
If you have entered Receive Bulk by mistake, you can interrupt
the process by pressing STOP/CONTINUE. The display will
show "Receive Break !", and you can press any of the mode keys
(PATTERN, SONG, SYNC/MIDI or CARD/CAS) to exit.
Job 6: TRANSMIT BULK
The Transmit Bulk job lets you save Pattern, Song and Voice data
on another RX8 or to a MIDI bulk data storage device (see note).

MIDI Data Recorder mode) can be used to store many RX8 In
setups on a single inexpensive disk. | fo
The QX3 may be used to receive Bulk Data from the
RX8 and store it on disk. Later, the data may be
retriered from disk and restored to the RX8.
Job 7: ECHO BACK
If necessary, the messages received at the RX8's MIDIIN can be
re-transmitted unchanged from the MIDI OUT terminal — ie,
"echoed back", or made to act as a MIDI terminal combining the
MIDI IN data with the RX8's own data OUT. Press SYNC/MIDI,
then press JOB + 7 to obtain the following display:

Press +1/YES or -1/NO to turn Echo Back off/on. This function N
provides the RX8 with an effective THRU terminal. For ex-
ample, if you are playing the RX8 and a tone generator from a
sequencer (or keyboard) that has a single MIDI OUT. you would
set the RX8's Echo Back on, and make connections as follows:
Sequencer (or keyboard) MIDI OUT - RX8 MIDI IN,
RX8 MIDI OUT - Tone Generator
