Transmitting Sound Settings (Xfer) - Roland XV-5050 Owner's Manual

Chapter 5 Saving a Sound You Create
Transmitting Sound Settings
(XFER)
You can transmit sound generator or System settings that are in the
XV-5050's memory to an external MIDI device or to the XV-5050's
USER memory.
Transmitting to an External MIDI
Device
The act of transmitting Patch, Performance, Rhythm Set or System
data to an external MIDI device is called a "Bulk Dump." You can
perform a bulk dump when two XV-5050s are connected to each
other, or when you wish to store Patch, Performance, Rhythm Set or
System data on an external MIDI device as a safety backup of your
XV-5050 data.

Transmitting to User Memory
You can transmit Patch, Performance or Rhythm Set settings to the
USER memory.
1. Press [UTILITY] to make its indicator light.
2. Press [
CURSOR] a few times to move the cursor to the
upper left of the display.
3. Turn [VALUE] to select "XFER TO USER."

Destination 1–***
You can specify the data to be transmitted by selecting the
appropriate combination shown below.
For example, if you wish to transmit only the PR-A group Patch 001,
specify "Type: PATCH, Block: PR-A, From: 1, To: 1."
If the selected data is too large to fit completely into the transmission
destination, as much of the data as will fit will be transmitted,
starting at the first number of the specified transmission destination.
(Example)
Type: PATCH, Block: PR-A, From: 1, To: 5, Destination: 127
If data is transmitted with the above settings, only the two PR-A
group Patches 01 and 02 will be successfully transmitted — to USER
group Patches 127 and 128 — since you will have attempted to send
five Patches to the last two USER memory locations: 127 and 128.
Had you selected 124 as a destination, memory locations 124–128
would have accommodated all five Patches.

transmission of the data stops the moment the memory is filled.
