There may be books on the subject, but in any case, you'll need each
instrument's MIDI spec from the manufacturer before you can get into
its guts.  

In my experience, Sysex data formats can be inconsistant not only 
between manufacturers, but also between instruments from a single
manufacturer!  Even different ROM versions of the same insturments
can have inconsistancies.  Black art, that Sysex!
