Using Bulk Dump Send to Save Data
This operation lets you save important PSR-280 data and settings to another
device, such as a sequencer, computer, or MIDI data filer. This operation saves all
User song data and all settings for the Registration Memory presets. Once the
data is saved, you can reload it any time you need it. This allows you to save your
data to floppy disk using a computer or a MIDI data filer (such as the Yamaha
MDF3), and have unlimited storage capacity for your valuable PSR-280 data.
