Isn't the (3-5-5) DUMP REQUEST command the thing you need? I'm just looking
at the Data List (page 13), no possibility to check it with my AN1x in the
next few hours... but it seems you can specify the address of the parameter
you want, and it will send the value back to you. Seems like Current
Voice/Pattern data can be freely accessed, while User Voice/Pattern data
has "(only Bulk Dump)" annotation.
So, how I see it is that if you want to request a dump of the whole Current
Voice, you would specify the address "10 00 00", but if you only want to
access the Arpegggio Hold param, you would use "10 00 54", and so on.
Cheers,
