When the data has been transmitted, "Completed!" will appear briefly on the display. This function is useful for transferring synthesizer, sequencer, and/or system data from one SY85 to another. If the MIDI OUT of the transmitting SY85 is connected to the MIDI IN of the receiving SY85 via a MIDI cable, the receiving unit will automatically receive and load the data as long as its BULK RECEIVE PROTECT (page 214) function is turned "off" and it is set to the same device number as the transmitting SY85. Another possibility is to transfer the data to an external MIDI bulk data storage device for long-term storage. 222 UTILITY MODE / MIDI
