The Bulk Dump procedure allows the OB-12's internal programming data to be sent in the form of
exclusive system MIDI messages to the MIDI [OUT] port.
This function can be used to send the internal programming of the OB-12 to another analog
instrument, in order to set it identically to the transmitter instrument, or to another remote
memorisation unit, such as a Personal Computer or a sequencer, in order to create backup copies
of the data which can therefore be restored in case of accidental loss of the internal settings.
To access the Bulk Dump procedure setting video page, select the field 4-BULK DUMP from the
SYSTEM menu. The display will show the following video page:
The procedure setting parameters are the following:
TX SPEED: sets the transmission speed for exclusive system data, to allow optimum adaptation
of the transmission to the memorisation times of the receiver instrument. The transmission
modes are the following:
SLOW: low-speed transmission in case of connection with machines no longer at the state
-
of the art.
NORMAL: transmission suitable for standard modern machines.
-
FAST: high-speed transmission for machines with especially short memorisation times.
-
SECTION: defines the internal memory section on which the Bulk Dump is to be carried out.
The following sections can be sent:
ALL: all the internal programming (Program, Timbre, Phrase Recorder, Motion Recorder,
-
operating system, System).
TIMBRE: the Timbre memory locations.
-
PROGRAM: the Program memory locations.
-
PHRASE RECORDER: the phrases recorded with the Phrase Recorder and the
-
corresponding Trigger Notes.
MOTION RECORDER: the two Motions.
-
OPER. SYSTEM CPU: the CPU operating system.
-
-
OPER. SYSTEM DSP: the DSP operating system.

Recorder sections): sets the first location on which the Bulk Dump is to be carried out.
TO LOCATION ((only available for the Program, Timbre, Phrase Recorder and Motion Recorder
sections): sets the last location on which the Bulk Dump is to be carried out.
As the video page shows, pressing the [ENTER] key starts the Bulk Dump. In this case the display
