System Exclusive (*.syx)

Description

System Exclusive data isn't music by itself. It is special information sent to a MIDI device to program extra instruments beyond the general MIDI setup. They are used by most games that support MIDI devices for audio output (like the Roland MT-32 and LAPC-1) over more common sound systems like a Sound Blaster. The SysEx data is usually ripped from the game's data files or recorded while playing the game and stored into a seperate file.

For games that use SysEx data, the ripped music files won't sound proper unless the MIDI device used to play them is first loaded with the SysEx data. There are many programs available that can send SysEx data to a MIDI device.
