Sending the AW2816's internal settings via
The AW2816 is able to convert the settings of the
MIDI screen and the contents of the various libraries
into MIDI data ("Bulk Data"), and transmit this from
its MIDI OUT connector/TO HOST connector (Bulk
Dump). By recording this bulk data on a MIDI
sequencer or other external device, the internal set-
tings of the AW2816 can be backed up on that
device, or copied to another AW2816 unit.
Here's how to record bulk data on a MIDI sequencer.
1
Connect the AW2816's MIDI IN connector
to the MIDI OUT connector of the external
device, and the AW2816's MIDI OUT/
THRU connector to the MIDI IN connector
of the external device. (Alternatively, con-
nect the AW2816's TO HOST connector to
the serial port of your computer.)
For details on connections and settings, refer to
page 189 to 190.

setting.
Tip!
If you move the cursor to the ALL button in the lower
left of the display and press the [ENTER] key, the but-
tons of all categories will be turned on, and the set-
tings for SCENE MEM.–REMOTE categories will be set

mit data for all categories via bulk dump.

Set your MIDI sequencer to record-ready
mode.
Before you record bulk data on a MIDI sequencer,
make sure that the MIDI Thru function (sometimes
called "Patch Thru" or "MIDI Echo") of the sequencer
is turned off. If this function is on, the bulk data trans-
mitted from the AW2816 will be immediately
returned to the AW2816, causing malfunctions.
