Why are you use remote control button presses to request a dump ? IMO this 
is an ugly method. Those messages are not invented for this purpose. Why 
don't you use real dump request messages ? Don't tell me you don't know 
these ? They are much easier to use. And for example the request message 
for a 32-patch bankdump is the same for the DX100/27/21, DX11, and TX81Z.

I'm attaching a little doc that I wrote long ago, when I developed 
YSEDITOR PLUS for Atari computers ( http://yseditor.atari.org ). It's 
about SysEx messages for the Yamaha 4-op FM synths.
