Hans, 
  Thank you for the additional information on the
other questions I asked.  You are certainly a wealth
of information on this unit.  I suppose when I said
that I knew the keyboard very well from previous
ownership of one, I really did not know all there was
on it.  I have however, created some neat sounds on it
and will upload them as time allows.
  The Sysex program I was using was sysx2mid.  It
works on single programs, but does not work banks of
sounds.  I did try the Soundlib program, but was
unable to really do anything with it and I could not
save single sounds to a floppy in .syx format.  Then
there was not an uninstall feature on it and had to
get into my registry to delete all instances of it ( I
have Window 2000 Pro).
  
  I am looking for more single syx sounds though:

Arctic-Elate
Keys-53

I am very pleased with the In-Concert sound I got.  I
sure love that patch.  Of course, the piano sound is
much better on the Roland Xp60 I have, but it still
sounds quite good.

Additionally, I think that I have the Sax patch ready
to go.  Here is how it looks with the Patch Selects in
place:

00 - Main Sax Sound - Vibrato is from the Mod Wheel
*0 - Sax with bend up from lower note - Vibrato from
the Mod Wheel
0* - Sax with growl sound - Vibrato is from Mod Wheel,
but obviously does not really affect anything
** - Sax with 3 Note Trill sound - Vibrato is
programmed into the patch because of how it works. 
Mod Wheel speeds up vibrato.

Anyway that is all for now.  I look forward to the new
sounds.

Thank you,

ps: stop by the website and check out the keyboard
pics in my studio.  The VFX is in there and looks so
cool on the stand :)
