It’s described in the manual, pages 78, 81. You can also download Supplemental booklets which I and other member Rawl scanned and published. There’s also excellent Massey book somewhere on the net.
Transmitting SysEx data is on button 32 MIDI.
Before sending set Device number on 1 and select which patch block you want to transmit - 1-32 or 33-64. You can send also Performances, Microtune (Int) and System Setup. Do it all one by one to have a perfect backup.
Support is thinner, that’s right - mainly concerning Performances. There were some cartridges offered by Yamaha but data are not freely available (VRC1001 - VRC1005). Some performances were offered by Thiago Gomes, another from certain Lukas. I have them all, but don’t know where I’ve found them. I can send them.
As for patches, there’s no problem, there’s a full compatibility with Mk I. Mk II has more parameters so sound can be edited as necessary, and improved.
