   I need to know how to dump a standard - raw - midi file from my ST

   write a little program to do this in either standard atari basic,
   or in pascal.

You have a few problems right off.

First, a standard midi file is sequencer data and I don't know of a
kawai that has a sequencer.

Second, I'll presume that what you really want is a bulk dump, (all
patches uploaded).  The kawai's that I'm familier with have no bulk
dump in the familiar sense.  Instead, they send a patch at a time and
expect the uploading side to send a kawai sysex "ACK" packet.  To see
if this is really your problem, try uploading just one "single" patch.
