91 Saving Patterns and Songs to a MIDI data ﬁler

Another fantastic thing about MIDI is all the data storage options it gives you. With the use of a MIDI data

ﬁler (such as the Yamaha MDF3) or MIDI sequencing software (such as the included XGworks lite), you can

save all your valuable Song and User Pattern data for future recall — any time you need it. Plus, you can

amass a whole library’s worth of Songs and Patterns on just a few ﬂoppy disks.

The technological magic that makes this possible goes by the mundane name of “Bulk Send.” In this Tip,

you’ll learn how to use Bulk Send to save your precious data. Then in Tip 92 below, you’ll learn how to load

it all back to the AN200.

1 Set up the AN200 and the recording device.

Connect the two as shown with a standard MIDI cable.

Setting up the other device for recording data may involve some additional steps; refer to the relevant

owner’s manual for details.

2 Call up the Bulk Send setting on the AN200.

Hold down [SHIFT] and press button [15] (MIDI BULK).

3 Select the type of data to be saved — Pattern, Song, or

All.

Continue to hold [SHIFT] and press button [15] repeatedly to select the

desired type. To save all three data types, select “ALL.”

4 Go back to the connected device and start recording.

This operation too may differ depending on your particular device. On most

sequencing software (such as XGworks lite), this can be as simple as click-

ing the Record button.

5 Execute the Bulk Send operation.

Press the ﬂashing [15] button once to enable Bulk Send, then once more to

actually start the operation. (To cancel, press [EXIT].)
