Yes, does indeed work - tested using an Alesis MMT-8 sequencer
dumping it's memory via midi ... and a Korg N1 synth dumping all
it's programs settings etc. All restores without any problems.
Thanks to all who replied! I should have though of that myself,
but well... I really didn't think it was that easy.
I'll probably knock up a script to make the whole process more
user-friendly, and provide some sort of menus for dumping/
restoring data...
Thanks again!
