DATA
TRANSFER
The
data
in
the MKS-50's
memotY
will
be erased
when
the
battery that
supports the
memory
back-
up system
becomes
exausted.
To prevent the
loss
of
data,
the
MKS-50
features the
tape
interface
function that
allows
to
save the data
(Patch,
Tone
and Chord)
in
the
MKS-50's
memory
onto a usually
cassette tape.
The
Roland MIDI Exclusive
Message makes
it
pos-
sible to
copy
the data
in
the
MKS-50
to
the other
device
(e.g.
other
MKS-50, Alpha Juno, HS-80>
Each
of the
Tone Parameters, Patch Functions,
Chord
Memory
data
can
also
be transmitted sepa-
rately
by
means
of
Exclusive
message.
a.
Saving
on
a
Tape
The MKS-50's
data
is
divided into 5
groups
as
shown
below. This
makes
it
possible to
exchange
data (bulk
damp) between the
MKS-50 and other
device
such
as the
Alpha Juno. Therefore,
to
transfer entire
data
of
the
MKS-50, each
of
the
five
data
groups should be saved onto
a
tape, verified,
then
later
loaded back to the
MKS-50.
