External Device (BULK LOAD)
Here's how GR-20 settings saved via Bulk Dump on an
external device can be loaded back into the GR-20 via MIDI.
Performing the BULK LOAD operation will rewrite all the
data in the GR-20. Be aware that all currently existing data
will be lost.
1. Connect your external device's MIDI OUT to the GR-20's
MIDI IN.
2. Turn off the power of the GR-20, and then hold down the
[PATCH EDIT] button and turn the power back on again.
The display will indicate "dP."
3. Using the [NUMBER/VALUE] knob, get "Ld" to appear
in the display.

being received, the transmitted data will not be written into
the GR-20. If necessary, perform the Bulk Load operation once
