Yeah that reminds me from what you said,
The PSS480/680 do not have general midi, they have an older version. In fact even the Korg M1 doesn't have general midi either. When I used to mess about with midi on the Amiga you had to remap the sounds to what the keyboard uses, like general midi has a Piano on voice 01 but that might be voice 52 on something that came before general midi.
If you get the time, check out the manual of a PSS680. With the correct hardware a lot could be done via midi, even your own patches/custom sounds could be save to a floppy drive via midi. Very cool but yeah like the Korg M1 things were changing as they were in the computer world very quickly so things like the PSS680's midi are largely forgotten about.
