DUMPING/IMPORTING
DATA
The MD-1200’s internal data, including
data recorded to memory and synthesiz-
er data, can be sent and received in bulk
as MIDI exclusive data through the MIDI
terminals. Thus, you can use a comput-
er or other MIDI device as an external
storage device.
First make connections from the MIDI IN
and MIDI OUT terminals to an external
device using MIDI cables.
Note: Some software does not support
MIDI exclusive data.
Dumping Data
Follow these steps to dump data from
the keyboard to an external device.
1. Put the other device in its receive
standby mode.
See the owner’s manual that comes
with the receiving device for details.
2. Repeatedly press TRANSPOSE/
TUNE/MIDI on the MD-1200 until the
display shows BulkSnd? .
3. Within 5 seconds, press to start
data send. Sending appears. The
MD-1200 automatically exits the
data transfer mode after all the data
is sent.
