Transmitting and receiving sound
(patch) or system setting data
The system parameters and patch parameters of the V-Bass
can be transferred as a group between the V-Bass and an
external device in the form of MIDI exclusive data.
If you use a MIDI sequencer that is able to record exclusive
data, you can transmit system parameter and patch
parameter settings to your MIDI sequencer and save them on
a floppy disk or other media. Alternatively, you can directly
connect two V-Bass units by a MIDI cable, and transfer
parameters directly.
