Using MIDI Bulk Send
Here is another rock-solid reason to go digital!
With the use of a MIDI data filer (such as the
Yamaha MDF3), you can save your valuable Performance Recorder and Sampler data for future
recall.
What’s more, this frees up extra memory space on the DJX-II for additional recording and
sampling at the same time!
Bulk Send is also used for transferring Pattern data (with the help of special
Pattern Launcher
soft-
ware) from a Mac or Windows compatible computer to the DJX-II.
(See Tip 98 above.)
