Chapter 14 Controlling the JS-5 with MIDI
Saving Data to an External
MIDI Instrument (Bulk Dump)
This sends User Songs (
excluding audio data
) and User
Style data on the JS-5 unit to a MIDI sequencer or another JS-
5. This is called a “bulk dump.”
The data is sent as Exclusive messages. In order to send and
receive Exclusive messages, the respective instruments must
be set to matching
device ID numbers
.
* For information about setting the device ID number on the
external MIDI instrument, refer to the documentation for the
equipment.
* The device ID number of the JS-5 is set to “17” when shipped
from the factory.
