OPERATION1. Press MIDI and select Job #09.
2. EITHER: Press +1/YES to send a Bulk Dump Request to the external device. OR:
Set the transmitting device to transmit bulk data (if it is a second RX5, use JOB #10).
lIf the RX5 Memory Protect is on, the LCD will show “Memory Protected” and prevent
Bulk Dump. Use UTILITY JOB #03 to turn off the Memory Protect function.
During Bulk Dump the RX5’s LCD will show
After transmission the LCD will show
NOTE: When the RX5 receives Bulk Data, all of the Data currently in the RX5 is erased.You may wish to save the current data prior to a Bulk Dump (refer to CARTRIDGE or
CASSETTE JOB “01”).
JOB #10: TRANSMIT BULK
FUNCTIONTo transmit bulk data from the RX5 to an external MIDI device.This function enables the RX5 to transmit bulk data to another RX5 or appropriate
external MIDI device, such as a Yamaha QX1 or QX5 digital sequence recorder. Bulk
data includes all Sequence and Voice data. Prior to using this function, the external
device must be set to receive Bulk Data.
NOTE 1: Prior to selecting this Job, the DEVICE NUMBER must be turned ON (refer to
JOB #08) and the number set to match the System Exclusive Data channel of the externaldevice.
NOTE 2: For this operation, the MIDI OUT of the RX5 should be connected to the MIDIIN of the external device.
OPERATION1. Press MIDI and select Job #10.
2. Set the external device to receive bulk data (if it is a second RX5, use JOB #09).
3.EITHER: Press +1/YES on the RX5. OR: Send a Bulk Dump request from the externaldevice (if it is an RX5, use JOB #09) and Bulk Data will be transmitted to the external
device. During transmission, the RX5’s LCD will show
then return to the previous display. Bulk transmission depends on the amount of data
in the RX5. For example, the factory-preset Pattern and Song data in your RX5 takes
about 10 seconds to transmit.

The RX5’s LCD will display an error message if:
l You have made an operating mistake (for example, tried to enter wrongdata).l Memory limits have been reached.lYou need to know about malfunctions or operational information concerningthe RX5 or external MIDI devices or cassettes or cartridges.For example, trying to record a Pattern in realtime when the RX5’s Internal Memory
Protect is ON, will produce the following LCD message.
NOTE: All LCD messages that indicate an error will be illustrated with the error message
ONLY. This is because some error messages can occur in several different Modes or
Jobs. The error message always appears in the lower half of the LCD.In this section, the following illustration will be used.

You have entered the Cartridge Mode, but the RX5’s
Sequence Data Cartridge slot contains the wrong type
of cartridge (for example, a Waveform Data Cartridge).
You have tried to save data, or execute the Format oper-
ation, with the Memory Protect turned ON on your RAM4
Cartridge.
You have entered the Cartridge Mode, but the RX5’s
Sequence Data Cartridge slot contains a cartridge with
a different format.
You have tried to save, load or verify a Pattern contain-
ing no data.
You have tried to verify cartridge data, but the RX5
contains different data than that contained in the RAM4
cartridge.
CASSETTE MODE ERROR MESSAGES
MESSAGEICAUSEdata errorYou have tried to verify cassette data. The type of data is
correct (e.g., Single Pattern data) but the RX5 contains
different data to that contained on the cassette.
Sum
errorThere is a checksum data error in data that you have
tried to verify or load from cassette.
type errorYou have tried to load or verify data from cassette, using
an incorrect Job number. For example, you used the
Load Single Pattern operation (Job #13) when trying to
load Voice data.
REMEDYInsert a RAM4 Cartridge, then enter the Cartridge Mode
again.
Remove the wrong cartridge, then insert a RAM4 Car-
tridge, then enter the Cartridge Mode again.
Remove the RAM4 Cartridge and turn its Memory Pro-
tect OFF by flicking the switch on the underside of the
cartridge. Then insert the cartridge and enter the
required Job number once more.
1. Remove the cartridge and insert a RAM4 cartridge
that has been formatted for use with the RX5.
2. Remove the cartridge and insert a RAM4 Cartridge
that has not been formatted, then enter the Cartridge
and execute the Format operation (JOB #30).
3. If the data contained in the cartridge is not needed,
make sure its Memory Protect is OFF, and format it for
use with the RX5 (CARTRIDGE JOB #30).
1. Save the data again, then execute the Verify operation
once more.
2. In the case of verifying a single Pattern, execute the
verify operation again, making sure you have entered
the correct Pattern numbers.
REMEDYSave the data again, then execute the Verify operation
once more.
Repeat the Load or Verify operation, making sure that
the playback level is high. Also, check that the connec-
tions between the RX5 and the cassette recorder are
correctly made, with cables that are functioning properly.
If necessary, clean and demagnetize the tape heads.
EITHER: Use the correct Job number.
OR: Use the correct cassette data.

							71This gives a simple visual representation of how voice data is transferred and edited in
the RX5 All Jobs are Edit Voice Mode Jobs.
The RX5’s voice editing process, from stared voice to actual sound, is described
as follows:
1.A voice is selected, using EDIT VOICE JOB #01. This voice belongs to one of three
types: Internal, Copied, or Cartridge.
2.“Primary data” is entered, using EDIT VOICE JOBS #2 thru #6. The Edit Voice Block
Diagram shows how voice data is transferred and edited. “Primary data” affects ALL
INSTRUMENT KEYS to which the voice is assigned. and ALL NOTES played by thevoice in Patterns.3. “Additional data” is entered once the voice is assigned to an instrument key, using
KEY ASSIGN JOBS #02 thru #04. This data will affect sounds played AT THAT KEYONLY. Then, once the selected voice has been used to play notes in a Pattern,
further data can be entered by selecting a note and using the PATTERN EDIT
function. This data will affect THAT NOTE ONLY.
4. Finally, on playback of the Pattern, the voice sound, modified by the data that has
been entered, will be heard.
5. “Primary data” and “additional data” can be changed at any time, with the results
described in preceding paragraphs 2 and 3.
