bulk dump operation, or press [EXIT/NO] to cancel.

This function is useful for transferring synthesizer, sequencer, and/or system
data from one SY85 to another. If the MIDI OUT of the transmitting SY85 is
connected to the MIDI IN of the receiving SY85 via a MIDI cable, the receiv-
ing unit will automatically receive and load the data as long as its BULK
RECEIVE PROTECT (page 214) function is turned “off” and it is set to the
same device number as the transmitting SY85. Another possibility is to transfer
the data to an external MIDI bulk data storage device for long-term storage.
