Bulk Dump - Yamaha AN1x Owner's Manual

DeviceNo
(Device Number)
The Device Number parameter lets you set the MIDI
device number when performing bulk dump operations,
or when transmitting and receiving System Exclusive
messages. Both devices should be set to the same
channel number.
Settings: 1 ~ 16, all, off
Local
The Local parameter lets you designate the AN1x's
keyboard to play the internal tone generator or not.
When set to "on", playing the AN1x's keyboard will
cause the internal tone generator to sound. When set
to "off", playing the keyboard will not play the internal
tone generator, but will output note data via MIDI
[OUT] to play an external tone generator or record into
an external sequencer.
Normally this will be set to "on" unless you are using
the AN1x as a master keyboard controller for
recording note data into an external MIDI sequencer,
and having the output of the sequencer determine
whether the AN1x's tone generator plays or not, by
signals received at MIDI [IN].

The Bulk Dump parameter lets you initiate bulk dump
operations when offloading AN1x data to an external
MIDI data storage device (such as the Yamaha MDF2
MIDI Data Filer) or another AN1x. Bulk dump
operations let you back up your important voice, Free
EG, pattern and system data for safekeeping, and then
load them back into the AN1x whenever you wish.

Bulk Dump

Before initiating a bulk dump operation, you must set up the external device for
bulk dump send and/or receive. You'll also need to match the Device Number of
the AN1x and the external device. For information, see the owner's manual which
came with the external device.
Press BulkDump [UP/DOWN] to select the type
of data to be sent.
