MIDI Bulk Dump & Bulk Load

[zbigniev]

While waiting to set up my entry-level DAW rig, I decided to finally learn how to use my Yamaha PSR-510 auto-accompaniment keyboard (I had only used it as a MIDI controller before now). You know what it is, it's an "arranger" keyboard, also known as "cheap, sleazy auto-accompaniment lounge-lizard toy" that you can find at Best Buy or Wal-Mart. But it served its purpose for entering MIDI data into my music software.

But I had fun recently, learning how to use it as it was intended. Now I have several completed tunes done on it, with auto-accompaniment data, melody, vamp, intro, outro, etc. The problem is the damn thing won't keep the tunes in memory once I unplug it! So I want to use the MIDI Bulk Dump feature to dump the tune data into one of my software sequencers, and I'm not at all sure how to do that. Any advice appreciated!
