Saving and Loading SC-8850 Settings

Transmitting the Settings of the SC-8850
to a Computer
The SC-8850 can transmit the contents of its sound generator memory as MIDI data.
The data can be transmitted in two ways: Bulk Dump which transmits multiple pa-
rameters as a group, and Individual Data which allows parameters to be transmitted
individually. All data is transmitted as System Exclusive messages.
Use Bulk Dump when you wish to save settings of the SC-8850 on a sequencer or
computer. By transmitting a Bulk Dump, you can also set all parameters of two units
to identical settings.
By transmitting Individual Data, you can create data without having to look up in-
dividual System Exclusive messages, letting you create data more efficiently.

Transmitting a Bulk Dump

When transmitting or receiving Bulk Dump data, check the settings and procedures
on your sequencing program or sequencer.
Here we explain how to transmit data from the SC-8850.
