MIDI Bulk Out
You can use the MIDI Bulk Out operation to back up data saved in the
BBT500H (data in memory 1-5 and Utility Mode settings) to a device
that can save MIDI data (such as a Yamaha MDF3, etc.).
1 Using a MIDI cable, connect the MIDI OUT jack on the BBT500H
to the MIDI IN jack on an external MIDI device.
* Use only a standard MIDI cable that is less than 15 meters in length. Use
of a longer cable can result in trouble such as abnormal operation, etc.

About MIDI Control Changes
You can control the overall volume of the BBT500H by con-
necting an external MIDI device's MIDI OUT jack to the
BBT500H's MIDI IN jack, and transmit Number 7 Control
Change Messages (Main Volume) to the BBT500H.
* With the exception of the Number 7 Control Change, the BBT500H
does not recognize any other MIDI Control Change messages.
* The Main Volume data will not change, even if a different memory
number is selected.
* When the POWER is switched ON, the Main Volume data is set
to its MAX value.
* After the Main Volume data is changed, and the external MIDI device
is disconnected, the pre-amp's volume level may not be sufficient. If
this case occurs, transmit a Control Change with a higher volume
setting again, or switch the POWER OFF and then back ON.
About MIDI Bulk In
Using a MIDI cable, connect the MIDI IN jack on the BBT500H
to the MIDI OUT jack on an external MIDI device to return data
that has been stored on the external device, to the BBT500H's
MIDI IN
memory. This operation is referred to as MIDI Bulk In.
* The device number becomes the MIDI receive channel number
(
ON), the channel is set to 1. When set to "oFF" (OFF) data will
not be received.
* "Ld" appears on the display while receiving MIDI Bulk data.
