The amount of data that can be transmitted at one time depends on the type of data, and data will be transmitted from the specified starting address and size.

Data larger than 256 bytes will be divided into packets of 256 bytes or less, and each packet will be sent at an interval of about 20ms.

3. Bulk Dump

Bulk Dump allows you to transmit a large amount of data at once, and is conve- nient for storing settings for the entire unit on a computer or sequencer.

The FR-7/FR-5 is able to transmit and receive a SET.
