Thanks for the quick info on the channel/chip. I'll attempt that this weekend. Regarding the sysex, I was trying different things this morning and set the CP midi to omni and sent the sysex via MidiOX. I could hear the data over my computer speakers which had not happened before. So apparently the CP received something because now I have the same patch on all 132 programs. Not sure why that happened. So my computer and the CP are now talking, just not correctly.
