Figure 9 Dump a single preset to the PC

Congratulations, you have now saved a preset to the PC.

Saving all presets at once

Now would be a good time to preserve all of your presets.  The above procedure also can be used to save
all of the G-DEC user presets.  The only difference is you must use the DUMP ALL G-DEC function rather
than the DUMP PRST function.  Try it. The Sysex Receive window should indicate a much larger dump
has occurred. See Figure 10. In this example 2463 byes were received.
