Restoring Saved Settings To The Jp-8080 - Roland JP-8080 Owner's Manual

Restoring Saved Settings to
the JP-8080
When you wish to restore settings saved by Bulk Dump
back to internal memory, connect the external MIDI device
to the MIDI IN connector of the JP-8080.
* When data is restored to internal memory, the data
which had been in internal memory will be overwritten
and lost. However, the factory-set data can be recovered
by performing the Factory Reset operation. (p.140)
1
Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT connec-
tor of the external sequencer to the MIDI IN con-
nector of the JP-8080.
2
Set the Device ID Number to the same setting as
when the Bulk Dump was executed.
[MIDI]: Device ID (p.123)
3
Turn the Exclusive Receive Switch ON.
[MIDI]: Rx Exclusive SW (p.124)
4
Transmit (playback) the data from the external
sequencer.
* Playback the external sequencer at the same tempo that
was used when recording the bulk dump. If the play-
back tempo is faster, it may be impossible to restore the
settings correctly.
* On the JP-8080, all Motions and Patterns share the same
memory space. This means that depending on the cur-
rent memory usage, a Motion that was dumped may
cause a "Memory Full!" display to appear when it is
sent back to the JP-8080, and that it will not be possible
to send the data back to the JP-8080. If this occurs, delete
unneeded Patterns or Motions from memory (p.97, 102),
and transmit the bulk data back to the JP-8080 once
again.
Hints
When recording your playing on an external sequencer, it is
convenient to use Bulk Dump to record the JP-8080's PER-
FORM: TEMP settings at the beginning of the recording.
If this is done, the JP-8080 will automatically be given those
Performance settings when the song is played back, so that
you will not need to select the Performance before playback.
Furthermore, even if the Performance settings are modified
after the song is recorded, the playback will still use exactly
the same settings.
