Bulk Dump
The VM200 can transfer Setup data, Scene Memories, Effect and EQ
Libraries, and Program and Control Change Assign Tables to another
MIDI device using the System Exclusive Bulk Dump function.
This function enables you to back up important VM200 data to a MIDI
data filer or computer, or to transfer data between multiple VM200s.
The VM200 can also receive Bulk Dump requests from other MIDI
devices.
Transmitting MIDI Bulk Dump Messages
The VM200 transmits Bulk Dump data on the transmission channel
you specify using the TX CH parameter on the
1:MIDI TX&RX function
page.
To execute a Bulk Dump operation, you specify the data you wish to
transfer using the parameters on the
6:BULK DUMP function page, then
press the [ENTER] key. The VM200 can also transmit data automati-
cally when it receives MIDI Bulk Dump Request.
The BLOCK parameter on the 6:BULK DUMP function page enables you
to specify the block of data you wish to send.
Follow these steps to execute a Bulk Dump.
Automatic transmission in response to Bulk Dump Request
If you set the BLK DMP REQ. parameter on the 1:MIDI TX&RX function
page to RX ON, the VM200 will be able to receive a MIDI Bulk Dump
request message from an external MIDI device.
