Bulk Data Transmission Procedure
1.
Preparation
Make sure the VL1-m is properly connected to a device which is capable of receiv-
ing its bulk data: another VL1-m, a computer, a MIDI data recorder, etc. The VL1-m
MIDI OUT connector should be connected to the MIDI IN connector of the receiving
device via a high-quality MIDI cable. Also make sure that the VL1-m and receiving
device are set to the same MIDI Device Number.

Bulk Data Reception
In order for the VL1-m to receive a bulk transmission from another VL1-m or other
device, the MIDI OUT of the transmitting device must be connected to the MIDI IN of
the VL1-m via a MIDI cable. The VL1-m will then automatically receive and load the
data as long as it is set to the same device number as the transmitting device and its
Memory Protect function is turned "off". Memory Protect does not need to be turned off
in order to receive a single voice (the current voice).
