I might be wrong but I don't think instrument names are transferred (unless your device has a special sysex command for that). You can find the name of GM instruments in the Level 1 specification and make a lookup table in your program.

There is no such SysEx defined in any official MIDI specification.

The only one I know of is for newer Roland devices (Data Request 1 at address 0C 00 01), but this would be of no use for your device.

If such a SysEx is not mentioned in the documentation, it probably does not exist.

Obviously, only the lower nibble of most bytes is used. When combining each two consecutive nibbles into one byte, the values "04 02 04 0F 05 05 05 04 04 09 05 01 05 05" are the ASCII codes of "BOUTIQU", "04 05 02 00 02 03 03 01 02 00 02 00 02 00 02 00 02 00" results in "E #1 ", and "05 05 07 03 06 05 07 02 02 00 03 01 02 00 02 00 02 00 02 00 02 00 02 00 02 00 02 00 02 00 02 00" results in "User 1 ".
