2.Turn the PARAMETER knob to “BULK.”

3.Press [SELECT] to select “LM” (LOAD (MIDI)).

4.Transmit the data from the external device.

The following appears in the display during reception.

When the display changes back to “LM,” reception is finished.

5.When you have finished the bulk load, turn the PARAMETER knob back to “PLAY MODE.”

*If you change to another screen (by pressing [SELECT] or by turning the PARAMETER knob) while the data is being received, any data that's been received won't be loaded into the GI-20.

If necessary, start the Bulk Load procedure over from the beginning.

When the data is received correctly, the dot on the display will light.
