To send a single Program via MIDI:

Loading Programs and Mixes Via MIDI
The QS doesn’t need to be in a special mode to receive MIDI sysex
information. Simply connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI out jack of
your MIDI player to the [MIDI IN] port of your QS and start the sysex
dump on your MIDI storage device or computer. If everything is
working properly, the QS display will read “RECEIVING MIDI
DATA...” and the Bank, Program, or Mix will be loaded into the User
Bank.
NOTE: Just because you’re storing a Mix to
MIDI doesn’t
mean that all of the Programs
used by that Mix are being taken with it. If
you want that Mix to sound the same in
someone else’s QS, you’re going to need to
send along the Programs out of which it was
constructed.
NOTE: Some computers are not fast enough
to transmit MIDI sysex data properly. If you
are experiencing problems, try adjusting the
settings in your MIDI software. Some
programs allow you to slow down the
transmit rate so the computer hardware can
keep up with the software.
