How to Receive (Bulk Load)

Here’s how to receive Patch data that was stored in another SPD-20 (or in a sequencer).
fig.85
Connect the MIDI OUT of the transmitting device to the MIDI IN of the SPD-20.
When data is received, the previously existing patch settings will be lost.
1Make sure that the MIDI channel of the transmitting device matches
the Basic Channel of the receiving SPD-20 (p. 67).
If you transfer Exclusive data from another SPD-20, set the basic channels on both units
match. If you receive the Exclusive data that was stored in a sequencer, set the basic chan-
nel to match the same number which was set when you saved data in the sequencer.
2Transmit the Exclusive data from the other MIDI device. When
reception begins, “Lod” appears in the SPD-20’s display.
You are returned to the previous display as soon as the Bulk Load has been completed.
When Patch data is received, the bulk dumped Patch data is written to identical Patch numbers.
For example, if you save Patch Number 21 using bulk dump, then when the Patch data is bulk loaded,
it is stored in Patch Number 21.
Exclusive Messages cannot be received while Patch Copy and Patch Chain are being received.
Exclusive data transmission and reception requires a great deal of processing, so it is best to avoid
playing or editing while transmission is going on. Also, Exclusive data transmission can require a sig-
nificant amount of time, so allow a reasonable time for these operations. Data cannot be transmitted
while incoming Bulk data is being processed, nor can data be received while Bulk data is being trans-
mitted.
