YOu probably will have to get sighted help to see what that
translates to on your unit, I did memorize the buttons and how many
presses and such to get to specific funtions in my unit.
Things like turning off local, and toggling the midi send modes, etc.
I chose the rd300sx because it was pretty blind friendly with
dedicated buttons and lots of easy to get at sounds, and best of all
a piano button to always go back to the best piano sound.
I believe the menu you want is what ever happens when you hit the
write button, and on my unit, scrolling all the way to the right with
the increment button gets me to that menu, and then I press enter.
Then I get useful functions on the sound bank buttons the third,
fourth, and fifth ones being the most useful,
these deal with midi local, factory reset, and
the midi mode of what is sent when controler knobs or patch buttons
are pressed.
Good luck.

Chris,
I suspected that might be the case but haven't had the time to go through
the Roland manual yet.
Yes, I think my Roland 300GX is very similar to your 300SX.
So, how do I do this? Is that done from the Roland keyboard? Will I need
sighted assistance (since I haven't memorized all the buttons on the Roland
keyboard yet)? What am I looking for in the Roland manual?
Thanks.

If your roland is like my rd300sx, you've got to put it in a
different mode to send out it's midi and patch info.
