STEVE:
Using Sonar, I just successfully transferred XL-1 multis (977 byte 
multis) into my XL-2500 w/OS2.0 (1373 byte multis). To see if the 
transfer took place successfully, set the master/global menu display 
to MULTISETUP NAME. After the transfer, the new name should be 
there. 

BTW, I seem to recall that all ports are note created equal and I am 
wondering if that makes a difference.

STEVE: I took a quick look at the sysex manual and didn't see a slot 
ID for the multi listed. Could that have been in a portion of the 
dump listed as "reserved?"

STEVE: You can do this with the aid of sequencer software; not sure 
if you can embed remote control sysex in a pattern to automate the 
process using just 2 E-Mus. (It might be possible, though. If anyone 
wants to try, I'd encourage it and help.)
