Roland SC-88 Pro - Manual (Page 109)

■ Recording all settings on a sequencer
This unit can transmit the contents of its sound source memory as MIDI data. The
data can be transmitted in two ways: Bulk Dump which transmits multiple parameters as
a group, and Individual Data which allows parameters to be transmitted individually. All
data is transmitted as System Exclusive messages.
Use Bulk Dump when you wish to save settings of this unit on a sequencer or person-
al computer. By transmitting a Bulk Dump, you can also set all parameters of two unit to
identical settings.
By transmitting Individual Data, you can create data without having to look up individ-
ual System Exclusive messages, letting you create data more efficiently.
● Bulk Dump procedure

* Since this operation transmits a large amount of data, make sure that the receiving MIDI device
has sufficient memory. If the receiving device has insufficient memory, recording will not be
completed. If you transmit data for all Parts, the bulk data transmitted by this unit is about 40
Kbytes.
