229UTILITY MODE / DISK
1: MDR IN/OUT
This utility allows MIDI bulk data to be received from an external device and
stored in the SY85 internal memory, after which it can be saved to disk by using the
MDR SAVE utility, described next. In the same way, MIDI bulk data that has been
loaded into the SY85 memory from disk using the MDR LOAD utility can be trans-
mitted to an external device.
Up to 16 different MDR files can be retained in internal memory. Use
[CS8] (“DataNo”) to select the number of the file to be initialized, transmitted,
or received.
The “Interval” parameter, adjustable from 01 to 10 via [CS6], sets a delay
interval between transmitted data to conform to the timing requirements of
some MIDI devices. Normally the “Interval” parameter can be set at “01”
unless your receiving device has trouble receiving data from the SY85.
Initializing the MDR Memory
Press [F3] (“INIT”) and then press [ENTER/YES] twice to initialize (clear)
the selected file number. “Completed!” appears briefly when the data has been
initialized.
Receiving MDR Data
Press [F1] (“IN”) and then [ENTER/YES] to receive the data to the current
file number. The number of data blocks received is displayed on the upper
display line during reception.
Transmitting MDR Data
Press [F2] (“OUT”) and then [ENTER/YES] to transmit the data in the
current file number. The number of data blocks transmitted is displayed on the
upper display line during transmission. “Completed!” appears briefly when the
data has been transmitted.
