Transmitting and Receiving
Settings Data
On the GS-10, you can use Exclusive messages to provide
another GS-10 with identical settings, and save effect settings
on a sequencer or other device.
Transmitting data this way is called “Bulk Dump,” while
receiving such data is referred to as “Bulk Load.”
Transmitting Data to an External

transmit data by specifying the range from the start to the
end of transmission.
