Do you plan to solve this via LUA or is it also a problem to react on multiple sysex dumps when parsing in LUA?

I can’t solve it right now. I mean, I could probably resolve it by looking intensively at the bytes in the replies, but knowing that this isn’t straightforward (I have to reverse engineer the message as well), I’d rather wait for a solution where the E1 would recombine multiple Sysex dumps into one. If not limitless then preferably a larger number than only 256, or equally well a means to select which chunk of 256 bytes you want to adress in the parse editing. But for instance some of the old SY-Yamahas go well beyond 1500 parameters for one preset…

A recombination by the E1 to one sysex dump would be nice indeed…

I think that is not needed. I made 2 presets with patch parsing and both synth would have different requests for the edit buffer, sequencer or global settings.  
I would then just create a different request in the json with its own parse section.  
Then I use a button to fire those requests to the synth and then get it back for parsing.

Yes that works. When looking at the Ambika structure, I now see my issue and the one from @studiobischof is different.

For the Ambika you can resolve this with multiple requests like @Flyweight is suggesting.

What I encounter: the dump, as a result of a single request, is longer than the current max of 256 bytes provided. Something not solvable currently with a split request.  
I consider this to be off-topic on this thread.
