device with memory storage such as a sequencer, a
personal computer or another PSS-51.

MEMORY of both the transmit and receive MIDI devices.
Use the procedures described below after reviewing the
channel information for both devices.

Receive Operation
There are no special operations required to receive bulk

will stop generating sound. The MULTI DISPLAY will
have the same indication as shown for the transmitting
operation. When receiving is complete, the MULTI
DISPLAY will indicate the current VOICE number.
NOTE: If problems occur while receiving bulk data, SONG
MEMORY and REGISTRATION MEMORY will be completely
erased, and the PSS-51 will return to its prior operating
condition.
Ш MIDI ERROR MESSAGES
The PSS-51 will generate an appropriate error message if
problems occur during MIDI data transmission. You can
then easily take steps to fix the problem. The following
describe the error displays:
