Storing Data with MIDI Bulk Dumps The REV500 is capable of transmitting its data as bulk dumps, for storage in a sequencer or other MIDI device. To use this function, first make sure that the REV500 is properly connected to the device that is to receive the data, and that the MIDI channels of the two devices match. Next, press UTILITY. If necessary, press the UTILITY key again until the MIDI BULK DUMP display appears: Bulk dump type Program selection Use the REV TIME control to select the type of bulk dump to be transmitted. The REV500 is capable of sending four types of bulk data: MIDI Bulk Dumps Dump Type Data transmitted ALL SYSTEM PGM PGM TABLE All data (system setup data, all user programs, and program table data) All system setup data Data for all programs, or data for a single specified program MIDI program table data If you select PGM as the bulk dump type, you must select the program to be dumped. Use the PRE DELAY control to move the cursor to the program selection, and the REV TIME control to change the setting. If you select ALL PGM, the REV500 will send the data for all user programs as a single dump. You may also select a single user program and store it externally using an individual data dump. When you are satisfied with your selection, press the STORE key. The REV500 will execute the data dump. When you are finished transmitting data, press one of the PROGRAM keys to exit the utility mode. 17
