Transferring Patches To and From the D-50/550
You can use MIDI to transmit patch data (64 patches) saved on
your D-50 and receive the data with the D-05. This procedure is
known as “bulk load.” This is an easy and convenient way to take
your own original patches (64 patches) created with the D-50 and
use them with the D-05.
Conversely, you can also send patch data edited using the D-05
via MIDI to the D-50/550. This procedure is called “bulk dump.”

Data transfer
A set of data can be sent to another D-50 using Roland MIDI
exclusive messages, and stored on that device. This is called “data
transfer”; transmitting data is called “bulk dump,” and receiving
this data is called “bulk load.”
Data transfer can occur using either of two methods: handshake
or one-way.
Handshake data transfer
Handshake transfers the data while verifying that the other
connected device has correctly received the data; this allows the
data to be sent reliably and quickly.

One-way data transfer
One-way is the method in which data is sent from one unit
regardless of the state of the receiving unit. Although the
connection is simple, it takes somewhat longer to transfer the
data than the handshake transfer method.
