Controlling the SD-90 via MIDI
■
Writing/loading SD-90 settings
The SD-90 is able to transmit the settings of its sound generator as MIDI data. Two types of data can be
transmitted: Bulk data, which transmits a group of parameters; and
Individual data
, which transmits a
single parameter. All data is transmitted in the form of
system exclusive data
.
Bulk Dump
is used when you want to save SD-90 settings on your sequencer software or an external
MIDI sequencer. You can also connect two SD-90 units and transmit a bulk dump to set all parameters of
both SD-90 units to the same settings.
By using Individual data you can create song data more efficiently, since you will not have to look up
each system exclusive message.
Transmitting a bulk dump
When transmitting or receiving bulk dump data, you must also check settings and procedures on your
sequencer software or external MIDI sequencer. Here we will explain how to transmit a bulk dump from
the SD-90.

2.
Turn the
[V2]
knob or
[V3]

Bulk Dump INST can be executed only when the sound generator is in Native mode. In other cases, this will be
displayed as “—” and cannot be executed.
fig.7-1aa_67.2
Bulk Dump INST A01
–A16, B1–B16
Specifies the internal sound generator Part whose
parameter values will be transmitted when the bulk
dump is executed.
Bulk Dump Audio ALL
, AFX
Specifies the range of audio settings whose parameter
values will be transmitted when the bulk dump is
executed.
3.
Begin recording on your sequencer software or external MIDI sequencer.
4.
When you press
[ENTER]
, transmission of the highlighted data will begin.
While the display indicates
Transmit SysEx
, the SD-90 is transmitting data. Press
[EXIT]
if you want to
abort transmission.
*
It is not possible to simultaneously transmit a bulk dump containing both internal sound generator and audio
section parameters.
