generator, independent of the Performances, Patches, and

Points to Note When Writing Data

Transmitting Data to an
External MIDI Device (Data
Transfer)

You can transmit sound generator or System settings that are
in the XV-5080’s memory—or stored on a memory card—to
an external MIDI device or to the XV-5080’s USER memory.

Transmitting to an External MIDI
Device

The act of transmitting Patch, Performance, Rhythm Set or
System data to an external MIDI device is called a “bulk
dump.” You can perform a bulk dump when two XV-5080s
are connected to each other, or when you wish to store Patch,
Performance, Rhythm Set or System data on an external
MIDI device as a safety backup of your XV-5080 data.
