Bulk Data Send; Receiving Bulk Data - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-320 Owner's Manual

Overall Functions

Bulk Data Send

This function causes the contents of the registration and song memories
to be transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector. This data can be saved to
memory or disk via a MIDI sequence recorder or MIDI data recorder, and
then reloaded when required. The bulk data can also be sent directly to a
second PSR-320/420.
To send the bulk data select the "BulkSnd?" function, then press the
[+/YES] button. "Sure?" will appear on the display. Press [+/YES] again to
begin transmission of the bulk data. "BkSnd:Sg" (song data) and then
"BkSnd:Rg" (registration data) will appear on the display during transmis-
sion. When the bulk data has been transmitted, "End" will appear momen-
tarily on the display and return to the "BulkSnd?".

Receiving Bulk Data

The PSR-320/420 will automatically receive compatible bulk data from
an external MIDI device as long as no style playback or song recording/
playback operation is in progress. "BkRcv:Sg" (song data) and then
"BkRcv:Rg" (registration data) will appear on the display during reception.
When the bulk data has been received, "End" will appear momentarily on
the display and return to the previously selected display.
