Um, no, at least not in the standard configuration.  The keyboard uses
a midi cable to send overflow notes and control changes to the
desktop, and midi cables are unidirectional.

If you adjust the controls on the desktop, it will change only the
patch on the desktop (so the keyboard and desktop will then be out of
sync until you change patches or re-dump from the keyboard).

Yes, all of them.
