Bulk Dump; Bulk Reception Of Song & Pattern Data - Yamaha QR10 Owner's Manual

9: MIDI Utilities
The QR10 provides two MIDI utilities — Bulk Dump and Sync — that allow it to be used with other MIDI
equipment.

Bulk Dump

Although the QR10 has memory for 50 user/
combination patterns and 50 user songs, you might
want to save your pattern and song data to an
external device to allow greater storage capacity or
simply to protect your data from accidental erasure
or corruption. An ideal storage device for use with
the QR10 is the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer.
To save all pattern and song data from the QR10 to the MDF2 (the sampling voice data is also saved), first connect the
QR10 MIDI OUT to the MDF2 MIDI IN via a MIDI cable, and prepare the MDF2 for reception (refer to the MDF2 operation
manual).
Next, press the QR10 [MIDI] key (the number
"5" key) once while holding the [SHIFT] key (if
you press [MIDI] twice while holding [SHIFT]
you'll select the Sync Mode function, described
below).
When you're ready to transmit the data to the MDF2, press [START/STOP]. A flashing triangle will appear on the display
while the data is being transmitted, and "End" will appear briefly when the transmission is complete.
The QR10 always transmits on MIDI channel 1.
DETAIL
Bulk Reception of Song & Pattern Data
In the PATTERN or SONG mode the QR10 will
automatically receive bulk song and pattern data
transmitted from the MDF2.
To receive bulk data make sure that the MIDI
OUT of the MDF2 (or other device) is connected to
the MIDI IN of the QR10.
The QR10 always receives in the MIDI "omni" mode.
DETAIL
Please note that any previous data in the QR10 memory will be erased and replaced by the
IMPORTANT
received data.
