Howdy

Sounddiver will allow you to load all the factory patchs back into 
the Mks80 quite easily.  Just need to make sure memory protect is 
off when you send then put back on after.

Sounddiver will allow you to get inside & create banks for you.

Does Initializing the Mks80 again reset your patches?

See how you go.  If you have sounddiver running already then it will 
be a few simple steps but if you dont have sounddiver then we will 
have a couple of things to do first for sounddiver setup.
