Will the bank dumps still work properly? I have singles saved but if I could load the bank and then dump each single again that wouldn't be a big deal. Would it be a pain to read both but save the new as single byte data. Because the patches are so small they dump to midi-ox in a heartbeat. Dump a Kawai K11/Gmega sometime and go make some coffee. Or send an Alesis 8mb Soundbridge image thru the MAC port and wait an hour and seventeen minutes. On my Alesis QS6 I have to be there at the end to cancel the last byte or it overwrites the first data block rendering the card as unusable. Hmmmph!
One more thought... Will this change the dump size or only affect the transmission of the data?
