About The Midi Implementation; Factory Settings - Boss GT-6B Owner's Manual

Appendices
System messages
System messages include exclusive messages, messages used
for synchronization, and messages used to keep a MIDI
system running correctly.
Exclusive messages
Exclusive messages handle information related to a unit's
own unique sounds, or other device-specific information.
Generally, such messages can only be exchanged between
devices of the same model by the same manufacturer.
Exclusive messages can be employed to save the settings for
effects programs into a sequencer, or for transferring such
data to another GT-6B.
The two instruments must be set to the same device ID
numbers when exchanging SysEx messages.

About the MIDI implementation

MIDI allows a variety of messages to be exchanged between
instruments, but it is not necessarily the case that all types of
message can be exchanged between any two MIDI devices.
Two devices can communicate only if they both use the types
of messages that they have in common.
Thus, every owner's manual for a MIDI device includes a
"MIDI Implementation Chart." This chart shows the types of
message that the device is able to transmit and receive. By
comparing the MIDI implementation charts of two devices,
you can tell at a glance which messages they will be able to
exchange. Since the charts are always of a uniform size, you
can simply place the two charts side by side.

A separate publication titled "MIDI Implementation" is
also available. It provides complete details concerning
the way MIDI has been implemented on this unit. If you
should require this publication (such as when you intend
to carry out byte-level programming), please contact the
nearest Roland Service Center or authorized Roland
distributor.
