This appendix provides a listing of the 128 General MIDI sound sets and percussion maps. General MIDI is a standard subset of MIDI rules designed to ensure compatibility among different instruments. General MIDI instruments all store sounds in the same memory areas, and always use MIDI Channel 10 for percussion parts. They can all play at least 16 sounds at once, and have at least 24-note polyphony.
