I don't have the software but I am pretty sure that they have all of the stock patches are in the software already. If you have a bunch of modified patches, then you would need to get them into the software one time and then they should be in there until you change them. I don't know if the vst will accept a bank dump or not. I also think that the VST will do a sysex read of the hardware to read whatever the current patch is set on the hardware when it opens.
