General MIDI ( ) System
General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to provide a way to go beyond the
limitations of proprietary designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound
generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files that meet the General MIDI
standard bear the General MIDI logo ( ).
Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be played back using any General MIDI
sound generating unit to produce essentially the same musical performance.
