The Data Transfer functions on the JV-2080 allow users
to move data to various destinations. Patches,
Performances, Rhythm, and System data can all be
transferred for external or internal storage. There is also
a useful feature in the JV-2080 that lets you take a
complete snapshot of all temporary settings and send
them to an external sequencer to be used in a song file.
Once the data transfer containing the temporary settings
has been sent to your MIDI sequencer, the current set-
tings can be recalled automatically when the song is
played. Using this feature is a great alternative to taking
up User Patch and Performance locations to store your
settings for each song.
The Bulk Dump function on the JV-2080 allows User
data to be stored to a memory card or externally, to a
MIDI sequencer. Bulk dumping is an effective means of
storing your Patch and Performance data. It is a good
idea to backup your custom settings often. Also, label
your backups clearly; that will make it easier to refer-
ence them for future use. Use the following procedure
to perform a Data Transfer of all temporary data to an
external MIDI sequencer:
1) Press UTILITY.
2) Press F4[XFER] to display the Data Transfer
page (see Fig. 10 on page 16).
3) Press F1[to MIDI].
4) Use the CURSOR buttons to select Source.
5) Use the VALUE dial to select ALL.
6) Press CURSOR RIGHT once.
7) Use the VALUE dial to select TEMP.
8) Start recording on your sequencer.
9) Press F6[Execute] to execute the transfer.
