MIDI BULK TRANSMISSION MODE
Although the GW50 has space in memory
for 50 effect programs and 8 songs, you
may want to free up that memory for
additional programs and songs. Also, you
may want to save the existing programs
and songs to another device for backup
purposes. The MIDI Bulk Transmission
function lets you do this. For quick,
safe and economic storage of GW50 data,
use the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer.
Note:USE OF OTHER MIDI DATA STORAGE DEVICES—
Though the operation steps for transmitting
and receiving data below assume you are
using the MDF2 MIDI Data Filer, they also
apply to any MIDI data storage device.
(Refer to the owner’s manual of the device
you are using for more information.)
Storing GW50 Data to the MDF2
(Transmitting)
Operation —
1. Connect the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer
to the GW50 as shown in MIDI connection
example A on page 101.
2. Prepare the MDF2 for receiving MIDI data.
(Refer to the owner’s manual of the MDF2.)

MIDI BULK TRANSMISSION MODE
4. Use [SET-A] (below “SEL,” Select) to deter-
mine the type of data to be transmitted. The
following settings are available:
MANUAL — The current effect settings in the
Manual mode [with the exception of the parameter
knob (main parameter) settings].
1MEM — One effect program (selected prior to
step #3); this includes all effect settings of a pro-
gram.
ALLMEM — All 50 effect programs currently in
memory.
1SONG — One song (selected prior to step #3).
ALLSNG — All 8 songs currently in memory.
SETUP — Miscellaneous data of the GW50
(includes: currently selected modes, bank/program
numbers, song/pattern numbers, chord recall
assignments, tuner pitch, etc.).
ALL — All the above settings.
For more information on the specific data
that is transmitted for each of these settings,
refer to the “MIDI SPECIFICATIONS”
section on page 148.
Note:ABOUT “1 MEM” AND “1 SONG”—If you use “1
MEM” or “1 SONG” to transmit a single
program or song, you must select that pro-
gram or song before step #3 above. If you
go to step #4 without selecting it, return
to the appropriate mode (Memory or Song) by
pressing [MEMORY] or [SONG/PATTERN], select
the desired number with the [–]/[+] buttons,
then return to step #3.
5. To send the data to the MDF2, press [SET-B]
(below “GO”). When the operation is
completed, the message “COMPLETED” will
appear in the display. The MIDI Bulk
Transmission mode remains active here, so
you can continue to send other types of data
as needed (with the exception of 1MEM and
1SONG; see above note). To exit the MIDI
Bulk Transmission mode or abandon the
operation without sending data, press any of
the mode buttons: [MANUAL], [MEMORY],
or [SONG/PATTERN].
