Paul: I'm also pretty sure I've transferred multis from my P2K to my 
P25K but doing it the other way round is currently eluding me.

Paul: I'm using port A in both cases; discovered you needed port A for 
receipt of MIDI clock for the effects so kinda expected this was the 
"main" one.

Paul: this sounds encouraging. Unfortunately I don't use software 
sequencers, just hardware step sequencers. I do have MIDI-Ox though but 
I'm afraid my sysex hacking is no more advanced than being able to 
search for and change strings.

Many thanks for your thoughts, I'll keep trying. Ultimately I may just 
get both machines out of their racks, swap the ROMs around, make a paper 
note of all the patches in all the multis I need, then put the ROMs back 
and do it all by hand. It's my own fault for simply dumping each multi 
into MIDI-Ox and assuming they'd load back in afterwards just cos the 
banks did.

Cheers
