Using Midi Bulk Send - Yamaha DJX-II Owner's Manual

99
Here is another rock-solid reason to go digital! With the use of a MIDI data filer (such as the
Yamaha MDF3), you can save your valuable Performance Recorder and Sampler data for future
recall. What's more, this frees up extra memory space on the DJX-II for additional recording and
sampling at the same time!
Bulk Send is also used for transferring Pattern data (with the help of special Pattern Launcher soft-
ware) from a Mac or Windows compatible computer to the DJX-II. (See Tip 98 above.)

1 Set up the device for sending the data.
Use a standard MIDI cable to connect the two devices as shown.
Make the proper connections and insert the appropriate (floppy) disk containing the data to the
data filer. (Refer to the relevant owner's manual for details, if necessary.)
On the DJX-II side, make sure that the DJX-II is not in the middle of an operation, such as Per-
formance Recording, Sampling, MIDI Bulk Send, etc.
2 Start sending the data from the connected device.
Refer to the relevant owner's manual for details. The DJX-II automatically receives the data, and
loads it to the proper memory location.
