Quick Start
i Storing the Unit's Settings
You can transmit the information for the unit’s settings from the
MIDI Out connector. This function is called a “Bulk Dump.” This
sends the unit's data to a sequencer or some other MIDI device
in real-time for storage on the other device. You can also use this
function to return settings stored on another device to the unit.

tings for Part Param 1 and Part Param 2 that can be
adjusted from the front panel.

Bi Saving Settings....ccccrcscceessssesssecseccersscnssanccoees
To save the unit's setting data, connect its MIDI Out connector to
the MIDI In connector on a sequencer (or some other MIDI
device), and then set the unit's Device ID number (p. 5). When
you've done this, start recording on the sequencer and execute a
Bulk Dump. After the Bulk Dump has finished, step recording
on the sequencer.
@ Returning Saved Settings to the Unit.
To load settings data back into the unit, connect the MIDI Out
connector on the sequencer to the unit’s MIDI In connector.
Make sure that the unit’s Device ID number (p. 5) is set to the
same number that was used when the settings were save. Also
check to make sure that the System Exclusive Message Receive
Switch (p. 5) is set to “on.”
After you have checked these, send the settings data stored on
the sequencer to the unit.
If you record Bulk Dump data at the start of a batch of music
data, you can set up the unit simply by sending the song data to
the unit.

Factory Defaults (Factory Preset)
This returns all of the unit’s settings to the data in effect when
the unit was shipped from the factory.
Hold down the Select button and press P3. When the message

by pressing the Enter button. Press the Exit button instead if you
change your mind.
| NRPN Receive Switch
If you hold down the Select button and press F4, “rir P ” flashes
on the display. After this disappears, you can use the Value but-
ton to select “on” or “OFF.” When set to “on,” you can use an
NRPN (non-registered parameter number) to edit the unit's
Patches and Rhythm Sets. This is automatically set to “on” when
a GS Reset or GM System On message is received.
When at “oFP,” a Patch or Rhythm Set cannot be edited even
when an NRPN is received. The setting is always at “oFP” when
the power is switched on.
* No GS Reset or GM System On messages are received when
the SysEx parameter is set to “oFF” or “PAr.”
: How to Listen to the Demo Songs
Holding down the Select button as you switch on the power
makes it possible to listen to the demo songs. Use the Value but-
tons to choose a song number. The Demo song is played back
when you press the Enter button. Pressing the Exit button stops
playback.

al for the particular model that you're using.
