This might be better that writing directly to user slots for real-time performance--just use remote control to save the presets. If there is an issue with using up flash RAM writes, this would cut it down.

See question below.

Sample RC Sequence:
->Start
(0) Open RC Session
->Initialize Save mode
(1) Assume save button is not pressed.
(2) Press Save button.
(3) Rotate Main Encoder 16 clicks left [to SAVE PATTERN menu].
(4) Rotate Main Encoder 4 clicks right [to SAVE PRESET menu].
(5) Cursor down to bottom line.
(6) Rotate Main Encoder 128*4 clicks left [to 000^0]
->Select detination user slot
(7) Rotate Main Encoder n clicks right [to get to destination]
(8) Press Enter/Home button.
->End
(9) Close RC Session

One question:
Will this actually save the preset that's in the edit buffer?

I ask because p.53 of the sysex manual (under PRESET_SELECT) seems to indicate that there are two editing systems--remote [ie., via sysex] and front panel. 

Again, I may have tested this years ago, but I don't remember.
