Can you back this up somehow? On page 16 of the AKAI manual, it says:

	'MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is an industry
    standard for electronic music instruments. Electronic musical
    instruments compatible with this standard can be connected together
    with a MIDI cable for automatic performances, remote performances,
    as well as exchanging voice data with other units.'

Technically, this doesn't mean that the AKAI is compatable with the standard,
but assuming it is (why else would they say this?) then it should be possible
to exchange patches.
