I used to do instrument definitions user banks for a different line of synths.  I used Window's Notepad to edit.  Later, a fellow user created a patch librarian that had a built-in *.ins file maker.  Check to see if Korg has such a utility, or if there is fan of Korg gear that has created a patch librarian that has an *.ins file generator.  Several months ago, I found that one major manufacturer had a utility on their site.  Not sure if it was Korg, Yamaha, or someone else.  Also, you could see if the sysex implementation has a command to output an ascii list of the names of patches in a bank.

Any of those methods would be better than typing in all of the names one-by-one from looking at the display.  Hope this helps.

Not sure if this thread has anything useful, but here it is just in case.
