Jack et al.,
I'm sorry to intrude my pointy little software head in here ... but I can't resist.
I hope there is a shorter answer than RTBFM.
Anyway, I had never programmed patches ... being a thoroughly low-life preset surfer. But after working with Emulator X3 for a couple of weeks, I've discovered a few things that really pique my curiousity about patch programming in the CS/ P2K world..
Here's my question: with hardware patches, can you copy all the preset parameters and
simply assign different samples to a new preset? Or, do you have to start from scratch every time?
�;
I discovered in Emulator X that I can load up a factory preset that I like the programming for and rip a 'template' of the entire voicing and also a 'template' of the mod matrix that goes with that preset ... then simply load the samples I want to the keyboard and save it. Sometimes a little tweading with the ASDR or something else is in order, but frequently the new preset with my samples sounds great from the go.
 
With that background in mind, I was wondering if there was some similar 'template' creating from the CS or P2K patches to which samples could be added, changed out, etc.
I was also wondering ... haven't looked that deeply in the manual yet ... whether since Emulator X3 includes the standard Emu 'cords' design, whether it would lend itself to some translation process for creating presets as you envision with the USB flash ROM.
I suspect my questions may reflect deep ignorance. If so 'learn me' and I'll happily do my punishment standing in the corner with�my cool hat. You know, like the one Mickey had in Fantasia ... but without all the stars.

I was actually thinking of roland, but I have yamaha gear too...

Also I wasn't thinking of providing special support for the non-JV80 equipment (since I don't have any for checking purposes). Still 16 ROMs would be 16 ROMs...

Since I don't use a Yamaha ROM-based synth module (though I do use an A5000 and FS1R), I wouldn't have interest in such a thing, but a card that held 16 x 8MB SR-JV80 images would be absolutely fabulous for my Roland JD-990, both in general, and because it only has one slot.
