Transmitting a DR-880 bulk dump/Receiving a
bulk dump back to the DR-880
"Bulk Dump" refers to the process of sending
DR-880 data to a MIDI sequencer or to another
DR-880 unit.
"Bulk Load" refers to the process of retrieving
bulk data that's been saved on a MIDI sequencer
and loading it back into the DR-880, or receiving
the bulk data being sent by another DR-880 unit.

Bulk Dump and Bulk Load operations use a type
of message called an "exclusive message" to
transfer data that is specific to a particular
device (such as patterns and kits). In order for an
exclusive message to be sent and received
successfully, the Device ID Number of both
devices must match.
