    Its quite simple you simply record them. A sound module triggered by MIDI is just like recording an instrument only its always a direct record. No mic is needed. Set up an audio track to record the output from your Fantom. I would record each patch on a different track in Sonar.

    In the manual it says you can write data to the memory cards... Writing data to the card Patches, rhythm sets, performances, samples, and song data can be written to the card. For details on the writing procedure, refer to the explanation for the corresponding parameters. Info about saving songs is on page 200. http://media.rolandus.com...FANTOM-X6_X7_X8_OM.pdf

    I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

    You have to put the Fantom in storage mode and transfer them using the USB connection. Check YouTube for a video or read the Owner's Manual.

    Why would you want to do that? Also its not possible. 

    The way to work with a hardware sound module whether it has a keyboard or not is use Sonar to trigger the patches on the module as if it were a soft synth with MIDI and have an audio track armed to record the audio coming from the module. 

    You can dump the Fantom setup with a sysex dump. That will not dump the ROM on the module. The ROMs on Roland sound modules are protected.
