The answer to all your questions is yes. Genesys still has the "gem" song loading and saving besides the SMF song play, save and load and all of the SK sounds are on the genesys pro. You can save your sounds from the hard drive onto floppy disks and load them into the genesys and then save them on a hard drive.
Where do you live? I am a genesys dealer in southern california and I ship all over the country.
