Transferring Patches To And From The D-50/550; Transferring Patches From The D-50 To The Vc-1 - Roland V-Card VC-1 D-50 Owner's Manual

Transferring Patches To and From the D-50/550

You can use MIDI to transmit patch data (64 patches) saved on your D-50 and receive the data with the
VC-1 (V-Synth XT). This procedure is known as "bulk load." This is an easy and convenient way to take
your own original patches (64 patches) created with the D-50 and use them with the VC-1.
Conversely, you can also send patch data edited using the VC-1 via MIDI to the D-50. This procedure is
called "bulk dump."
* Read this material together with the D-50/550 Owner's Manual.

Transferring Patches from the D-50 to the VC-1

• Patches (64 patches) bulk loaded from the D-50 to the VC-1 are temporarily transferred to the patch bank
that includes the current patch.

• The patches (64 patches) originally residing in the bulk load destination will appear to have been
overwritten, but actually nothing will have been lost. The patches are restored when you turn the power
off, then on again.
• The transferred patch data (64 patches) will be lost if you turn off the power. Be sure to save the data
("Saving Transferred Patches" (p. 32)).
• Patches saved to memory cards used with the D-50/550 (M-256D) cannot be transferred directly from
these memory cards to the VC-1. First, transfer the patch data to the D-50/550 from the memory card (M-
256D), then transfer the patch data from the D-50/550 to the VC-1.
