8 D ATA T RANSFERS
H OW DO I TRANSFER TO THE PC?
From the File and Windows menu, select Load (bulk dump) . On your effects
pedal, go to MIDI Bulk Dump (the dialog box reminds you how to do this), select the
first and last patches as the start and end points. Start the transfer from the GT-.
If you have changed the GT- System data (for example the custom settings) then
you should select “System” as the starting point. This will then update the copy of
the system data on your PC.
You should see the byte count increasing as the data is transferred to GT Manager.
The program notices when the transfer is done, and puts the patch data in a new
file; you will see this on-screen.
C AN I CANCEL THE TRANSFER ?
Yes – just click on the Cancel button on the Bulk Dump progress dialog. The data
received for the complete transfer is discarded. The GT- will carry on doing a Bulk
Dump – there seems to be no way to stop it!
H OW DO I TRANSFER S OME BUT NOT A LL P ATCHES ?
If you just want to transfer a few of your patches to the PC, and they are not
consecutive ones, there are two methods.
You could transfer all the patches anyway, then delete the ones you don’t want from
the file.
Alternatively, in the MIDI Connections dialog, clear the “Auto-detect end of transfer”
checkbox. Then you can do a series of bulk dumps, and they will all end up in the
same file. You will need to click on the “Done” button on the Bulk Dump progress
form when you’re done.
C AN I TRANFER JUST ONE P ATCH ?
You can load just one patch from the GT- into an existing patch file using
the Load One command in the Edit menu.
The GT- needs to be in Bulk Receive mode (not Bulk Dump)! This may seem
confusing as the GT- is sending data rather than receiving it. In fact, the Bulk
Receive mode allows data to be sent or received. The difference is that in Bulk
Dump, you are controlling what is sent to the PC using the GT-. In Bulk Receive,
you are controlling what is sent to the PC using the PC. The GT- needs to be
receiving (listening) as the PC asks for the relevant data.
