data, press F8 (Go) to begin recording MDR
data. The bottom line of the display will show
"MDR Recording!".
4. Refer to the operating manual for your MIDI de-
vice, and make it transmit the desired type of
MIDI bulk data. As the SY99 receives data, the
number of blocks that have been received will be
displayed in the bottom line. You may transmit
any number of MIDI bulk messages (F0-F7
blocks) from any number of devices, and they
will all be received into the currently selected
set of bulk data.
5. When the external device has finished transmit-
ting the data, press EXIT. The bottom line of the
SY99 display will show "Completed!".
If the SY99 did not receive any MIDI bulk
data, the bottom line of the display will show
"Recording Canceled!". Make sure that the
external device is actually transmitting bulk
data, check MIDI connections, and try again.
Remarks: MIDI bulk data that has been received
into the SY99 MDR memory is preserved even
when the power is turned off. However as a pre-
caution against accidents, we suggest that you
use the following 3.Save to disk operation to
save the MDR memory to a disk file.
