Bulk Data Send

This function causes the contents of the registration, user song, user style and
user pad memory 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-530.
To send the bulk data select the "BlkSnd?" function, then press the [+] (YES)
button. "Sure?" will appear on the display. Press [+] (YES) again to begin
transmission of the bulk data. "BkSnd:Rg" (registration data), "BkSnd:Sg"
(user song data), "BkSnd:Pd" (user pad data) and then "BkSnd:Cs" (user style
data) will appear on the display during transmission. "End" will appear on the
display briefly when the transmission has finished.

BlkSnd?

YES
Receiving Bulk Data
The PSR-530 will automatically receive compatible bulk data from an
external MIDI device as long as no auto accompaniment, multi pad, or song
recording/playback operation is in progress. "BkRcv" will appear on the
display during reception, then "End" will appear briefly when all data has
been received.

Initial Data Send

Transmits all current panel settings to a second PSR-530 or a MIDI data
storage device. To send the initial data, select the "InitSnd?" function. Press the
[+] (YES) to begin transmission of the initial data.
YES
If you want to have the song play back with the panel settings used for
recording, execute the Initial Data Send function before recording the perfor-
mance on the PSR-530 to an external sequencer.
