Transmitting sound settings –

4 Data Transfer

This function lets you transmit sound source or System set-

tings that are in the XP-80’s memory or stored on disk to an

external MIDI device or to record them in the internal song.

Transmitting data to an external MIDI

device

The process of transmitting Patch, Performance, Rhythm Set

or System data to an external MIDI device is called ‘bulk

dump.’ This process is used when two XP-80s with the same

Patch, Performance and/or Rhythm Set settings are connect-

ed for performance or when recording Patch, Performance,

Rhythm Set or System data into an external MIDI device as a

backup for accidental data deletion.

Source

Specifies the data to be transmitted through the combina-

tions as shown below.

For instance, if you want to transmit the settings of Patches

001–032 in USER group, specify “PATCH USER:001-032.”

1: All Patches, Performances and Rhythm Sets in USER

group

2: The current Performance, Patch and Rhythm Set

3: The Performance of the specified number in USER group

4: The current Performance

5: The current Performance and the Patch or Rhythm Set

assigned to each Part of the Performance

6: The current Performance’s Bank Select and Program num-

bers, as well as Volume and Pan messages of the Parts with

the Rx switch ON. Use this selection when you want to make

a rough recording of Performance settings balance. Since

data is transmitted as controller numbers, the data amount

will stay relatively small.

7: The Patch of the specified number inUSER group

8: The current Patch

9: The Rhythm Set of the specified number in USER group

10: The current Rhythm Set

11: System

✳ Number 6 cannot be selected from Patch mode. In

addition, Volume and Pan messages to be transmitted

are not part of the selected Performance’s data; they

are global settings for the entire XP-80 instead. To

check the data, use the Part Information display (PER-

FORM/Info).

Destination

“to MIDI” means that data will be transmitted to an external

MIDI device.

❶ Make sure that the Utility Menu (UTILITY) is up.

❷ Press [F6] (Menu) to select Menu 1, then press [F4]

(Xfer) to select Data Transfer.

You can also select Data Transfer by moving the cursor to “4

Data Transfer” and pressing [ENTER] on the Utility Menu

display (UTILITY), or pressing the numeric key [4], then

[ENTER].

❸ Press [F1] (to MIDI) to call up the Data Transfer to

MIDI display (UTILITY/Xfer).

❹ Move the cursor to “Source” and specify the data you

want to transmit.

❺ Press [F6] (Execute) to transmit the data.

When the data is being transmitted, the display will read

“Transmitting...”

✳ To interrupt data transmission, press [EXIT].

Transmitting data to the internal song

You can transmit Patch, Performance, Rhythm Set or System

settings to a specified Song position in a Phrase track or

Pattern of the internal song. By recording sound source set-

tings, etc. (Setup data) at the beginning of a song, you can

make sure that the song will always play back using the cor-

rect Patch or Performance.

✳ When recording setup data at the beginning of the

song, create one blank measure immediately preceding

performance data and transmit setup data to that por-

tion. If you don’t performance data and setup data will

overlap and prevent the song from playing back cor-

rectly.
