Hi, I have a B200 that has two preset patches that I would really like to program into a recently purchased tx-81z. I understand they have the same FM engine,...
Have you tried to send the sound directly into the TX81z, they should be patch compatible. If you send a single patch to the TX you'll probably find it in the...

ML, First of all, don't panic. Even a 5-pin DIN cable from an old Philips recorder should work, since MIDI actually uses only the three middle pins of the DIN...
