MIDI Bulk Dump Reception (Memory
Data Receive)

The PSR-6000 can receive bulk data transmitted

by a second PSR-6000 as long as it is not accessing
disk data, the Custom Accompaniment Programmer
is not engaged, and the DOC/GM mode is not
selected. When a bulk dump is received the follow-
ing display will appear:

F8: MIDI

The bar graph roughly indicates the progress of

the bulk dump receive operation. “

Completed.

”

will appear on the display when the data has been
successfully received.

●

Receiving MIDI Bulk Dump Request
Messages

When the normal play mode is selected and the

PSR-6000 receives a MIDI bulk dump request mes-
sage from an external device, The display appears
and a bulk data transmission is performed. Progress
of the transmission is shown in bar-graph form on
the display.

●

Bulk Dump Error Messages

If an error is encountered during bulk reception,

a “

System Exclusive Error

” error message

will appear for a few seconds and the receive opera-
tion will be terminated. In most cases the data will
be replaced up until the point at which the error
occurred. Data being received at the time the error
occurred will be initialized. All other data is not
affected.

NOTES

• Broken cables and other external problems can also

cause a “System Exclusive Error” message.
