Loading Bulk Data

Once you’ve saved PortaTone data as described above, you can easily reload the data back to the PortaTone.

1 Set up the connected MIDI device for sending the appropriate data.

The actual procedure may differ depending on your particular equip- ment and software. For example, if you are using the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI Data Filer:

1)Make the appropriate MIDI connections.

PSR-270

MIDI IN

MIDI OUT

MDF3

2)Insert the appropriate floppy disk (containing the desired data) into the MIDI Data Filer.

2 Make sure that the PortaTone is set to the Style mode.

Make sure that the PortaTone is NOT set to the Song mode, and that it is not in the middle of an operation, such as song recording or playback, accompaniment playback, EZ Chord recording, Bulk Dump Send, etc.

3 Start sending the data from the connected MIDI device.

Send the data from the connected device. (Refer to the owner’s manual of the device for details.)

The PortaTone automatically receives the data. As the data is being received, the PortaTone display indicates the various stages of data reception until the operation is complete:
