Well, I bought a WT11 after all. I was about to do a factory reset, then try a bulk dump, so I could provide the full contents of the A bank - hopefully performances as well as voice patches.
The thing is, I can't get to the end of the test procedure to do the factory reset, which is the last step.
There's a document by WindworksDesign, called WT11 Secret Mode.pdf. It says how to get into "secret mode", and start the test. It also says you can use one of the buttons to step through the test.
What it neglects to say is that you CAN NOT proceed to the next step of the test without passing each of the previous steps.
So far, I've had to go and find a sustain pedal, to pass the pedals test, and have come to get my WX5 and WX cable, so I can pass step 6, which is the WX input test. It struck me that I'll have no way to pass the cassette interface test without researching how to wire up the cable - which is a 7 pin DIN.
This strikes me as utterly stupid. If a service engineer was using it as a first stab at diagnosing problems, he could only ever find one problem, so he'd be unable to give a quote - he couldn't find the next problem until he'd fixed that one...
Does anyone know of another way to do a factory reset, or know a way to skip stages of the test procedure? I have tried all the buttons, naturally.
I guess the only other way I could do it is to manually save each performance from A into I. That seems to be the only way I could dump the other two banks too. It's more error prone of course, and would be quite time consuming, but then so is trying to pass the poorly thought out test procedure.

I see. Yes.
Most of them do seem to fit the names, fairly well, but there are a couple of odd ones.
