Transmission
and
Reception
of
Bulk Data
The
SOI can
transmit or receive the
internal
data using
MIDI
system
exclusive
message
(bulk
data).
Therefore
if
it
is
connected
to
another SOI,
that
data
can be
easily transferred
between two
units.
For
example
in live
performance,
if
using
two
units
of
SOls
as
main
one and
sub,
you
can
load
programs
into the
first
SOI
in
a usual
way
and send
them from
the
first
to
the
second SOI
in
the
method
explained
below.
If
programs
are
spanning
several
disks, this
tip
will
save
you
loading
the
same
data
into the
second SOI, exchanging
disks.
Data
transmission or reception
is
also available
in
MIDI
sample
dump
standard format.
In
this
case,
the
SOI
will
send
or receive only
sampled
data
w
ithout
any parameter
settings
.
This enables
you
to
make
samples
on
the
SOI, send
them
to
other
samplers compatible
to
MIDI
sample
dump
standard format,
and
edit
those
sampled
materials
on
the other
samplers, or vice
versa.
When
you
transfer
bulk
data,
you
should
make
a
MIDI
"hand
shake" connection between
the
SOI and
another
MIDI
device;
i.e.
as the
SOI
's
MIDI
OUT
is
connected
to the
device
's
MIDI
IN,
and
vice versa.

the
MIDI channel used
for
transmission
and
reception
of
bulk
data.
If
you use two
or
more
units of
the
S01
s
in
your
MIDI system
and
you wish
to
specify the
unit
that
the bulk
data
is
sent
to,
use
this
channel as
the

Otherwise,
set
it
to "1"
using the
data
