With regards to the mapping - is this done with an .ins or similar file? - ie It looks like if I want to dump the sysex data from DrSynth I need to have an Instrument set-up. Is 'mapping' equivalent to 'Instrument' ?
i'm not sure what you're really after for, but no, instrument definition files (.ins) have no relation to sysex dumps whatsoever. they have a strong relation to bank-select/program-change mappings though.
if you want to dump sysex from the drsynth you probably need to record it into a regular smf (.mid) file for instance or you can also use `amidi -r ...` which will get you a raw sysex data file (.syx).
