9Utility Functions
Bulk Dump ————————————————————————————Although the QY20 has memory for 20 songs and 100 user pat-
terns, you might want to save your song and pattern data to an exter-
nal device to allow greater storage capacity or simply to protect your
data from accidental erasure or corruption. An ideal storage device for
use with the QY20 is the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer.
To save data from the QY20 to the MDF2, first connect the QY20
MIDI OUT to the MDF2 MIDI IN via a MIDI cable, and prepare the
MDF2 for reception (refer to the MDF2 operation manual). Also
make sure that the Device Number parameter in the utility System
screen is set to the appropriate device number or “All.”
Next, select the utility mode Bulk Dump screen,
select “Song” if you want to save the data for one
song or all songs, “Pattern” if you want to save
the data for one pattern or all patterns, or “All” if
you want to save all song and pattern data.
If you select “Song”, move the cursor to the
song number parameter and select a song number
(01 … 20), or “All” to save all songs.
If you select “Pattern”, move the cursor to the
pattern number parameter and select a pattern
number (101 … 200), or “All” to save all patterns.
