Transmission
and
Reception
of
Bulk
Data
The
SOI
can
transmit
or
receive
the
internal
data
using
MIDI
system
exclusive
message
(bulk
data).
Therefore
if
it is
connected
to
another
SOI,
that
data
can
be
easily
transferred
between
two
units.
For
example
in
live
performance,
if
using
two
units
of
SOls
as
main
one
and
sub,
you
can
load
programs
into
the
first
SOI
in a
usual
way
and
send
them
from the
first
to
the
second
SOI
in
the
method
explained
below.
If
programs
are
spanning
several
disks,
this
tip
will
save
you
loading
the
same
data
into
the
second
SOI,
exchanging
disks.
Data
transmission
or
reception
is
also
available
in
MIDI
sample
dump
standard
format.
In
this
case,
the
SOI
will
send
or
receive
only
sampled
data
w
ithout
any
parameter
settings
. This
enables
you to
make
samples
on
the
SOI,
send
them to
other
samplers
compatible
to
MIDI
sample
dump
standard
format,
and
edit
those
sampled
materials
on
the
other
samplers,
or
vice
versa.
When
you
transfer
bulk
data,
you
should
make a
MIDI
"hand
shake"
connection
between
the
SOI
and
another
MIDI
device; i.e.
as
the
SOI 's
MIDI
OUT
is
connected
to
the
device
's
MIDI
IN,
and
vice
versa.

will
show
the
MIDI
channel
used
for
transmission

of
bulk data.
If you
use
two
or
more
units
of
the
S01
s
in
your
MIDI
system
and
you
wish to
specify
the
unit
that
the
bulk
data
is
