Boss GT-1 backup and restore via Midi SysEx

[mr_hollywood]

Hi guys!

Here's the procedure for backing up and restoring your GT-1 via SysEx...

Data Backup Operations:
1. Connect the computer to the USB COMPUTER connector.
2. Start the MIDI sequence program on the computer and set the MIDI input
device to the GT-1.
3. Create two MIDI tracks (track 1 and track 2) and input the following two
kinds of SysEx data into the track 1.
F0 41 7F 00 00 00 30 11 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 7E F7
F0 41 7F 00 00 00 30 11 10 00 00 00 00 63 00 00 0D F7
4. Set the track 2 in standby for recording and start recording and playback.
The SysEx data on step 3 is sent to the GT-1, and then the GT-1 which
received this data sends the system setting and all patch data (U01 to
U99) to the MIDI sequence program.
When the recording and playback starts, BULK DATA SENDING...
appears on the screen of the GT-1 and the display returns to the initial
screen in about 1 second, but the data is sending from the GT-1
continuously. After the sending is completed, stop the sequence
program. It takes about 40 to 50 seconds to complete the sending.
5. Delete the track 1 in the MIDI sequence program and let the track 2
standby for playback, then save it.
This completes the backup procedure.
6. Disconnect the USB cable
