2. Send the settings data from the external sequencer to the
TD-8.
The transmitted settings are reproduced.
At this time, the TD-8's data is overwritten. Back up any
important data as needed before carrying out this operation.

Setting the Device ID

The setting described here is necessary only when you wish
to transmit separate data to two or more TD-8 units at the
same time. Do not change this setting in any other case.
If you lose track of the Device ID setting that was used when
saving data via a bulk dump, it will no longer be possible to
reload the bulk data that was saved.
At the factory settings, the device ID is set to "17."
