Bulk Dump

A01–A16, B01–B16, COMMON, ALL

Specifies the internal sound generator parameters that you want to transmit when the bulk dump is executed.

*Bulk Dump can be carried out only when the sound generator mode is Native mode. Otherwise, "---" will be displayed, indicating that the feature is unavailable.

*A01--A16 and B01--B16 will transmit the part parameters and patch parameters of the selected part. COMMON will transmit the parameters that are common to all parts, and ALL will transmit all parameters for A01--B16 and

COMMON.

USER AREA

All 128 user patches and 16 user drum sets will be transmitted as bulk data. The transmitted data can be recorded by your sequencer software, or the like. If you transmit this recorded data back to the SD-80, all user patches and rhythm sets will be overwritten. Do not turn off the power while the settings are being written (while the display indicates "Saving...").

*Use this bulk transmission function to back up your user patches and rhythm sets.

Specifying the start-up sound generator mode

Inst Startup

GM2, NATIVE, GS

This selects the mode in which the sound generator

will be when the SD-80 is started up.

Setting the Device ID Number

The Device ID Number is an identification number used when receiving and transmitting exclusive messages. The SD-80 relies on an identical device ID number when transmitting and receiving exclusive messages. This means that in order to use exclusive messages to transfer data, both devices must be set to the same device ID number.

The device ID number is a number from 17 to 32. The factory setting is 17.

SysEx. Device ID

17–32

Specifies the device ID number used when the sound generator mode is Native mode.
