Using the Roland MIDI Exclusive messages, the data can be
transferred from one D—50 to another D-S0. Sending data is called
Bulk Dump, and receiving data is called Bulk Load.
The Bulk Dump and Bulk Load processes function whether the
Exclusive switch in the MIDI Functions is ON or OFF.
There are two methods of data transfer via MIDI; Handshake and
One-way.
Handshake allows you to verify whether the receiver is ready to
receive the data, while one-way transmits the data without
confirming the condition of the receiver. The D—5O can select either
of the two methods.
