Dump Out Functions

The Dump Out functions allow you to save the various settings of the
MU80 (such as settings for Parts, Performances, system, etc.) to a MIDI
sequencer, computer or a MIDI data recorder (such as the Yamaha MDF2
MIDI Data Filer).
The following illustrations show example connections for the Dump
Out functions.

Saving and Restoring Data via TO HOST

102
Some MIDI devices and sequencers are capable of transmitting data
over several MIDI "ports," effectively breaking the 16-channel barrier.
When this data is received via the TO HOST terminal on the MU80,
this parameter determines which MIDI port's data will be routed
through the MIDI OUT terminal. This allows you to connect another
multi-timbral tone generator to the MU80 and play back data over 48
independent MIDI channels — 32 on the MU80 and another 16 on the
connected tone generator.
