#Mac general midi player Patch
A minimum of 128 preset instruments (MIDI program numbers) conforming to the GM 1 Instrument Patch Map, and 47 percussion sounds which conform to the GM 1 Percussion Key Map. Instruments: A minimum of 16 simultaneous and different timbres playing various instruments.Key-based percussion is always on MIDI Channel 10. Each Channel can play a different instrument (sound/patch/timbre). Each Channel can play a variable number of voices (polyphony). Channels: All 16 MIDI Channels are supported.Voices: A minimum of either 24 fully dynamically allocated voices are available simultaneously for both melodic and percussive sounds, or 16 dynamically allocated voices are available for melody plus 8 for percussion.To be GM 1 compatible, a GM 1 sound generating device (keyboard, sound module, sound card, IC, software program or other product) must meet the General MIDI System Level 1 performance requirements outlined below, instantaneously upon demand, and without additional modification or adjustment/configuration by the user. However, GM 1 remains a popular format and is still commonly used for music distributed in Standard MIDI File (*.mid) format.
Note: The GM 1 specification was superceded in 1999 by General MIDI 2 which added support for additional features and capabilities which had become commonly available since GM 1 devices first appeared. The GM specification assigns specific sound names (such as "Electric Piano" and "Oboe") to each Program Number, but the acoustic characteristics of the each sound are not defined. It is intended as default synth for the Ardour DAW. It features a built-in midnam to provide patch and note-names to a host. Without General MIDI, playback of MIDI files created on one MIDI instrument might sound totally different on a different MIDI instrument, because sound selection in MIDI is done by "Program Number", not a description of the sound. This is a dedicated LV2 plugin using Chris Colins' General User GM and GS compatible soundfont.

The "General MIDI System Level 1" specification - also known as "GM", "General MIDI 1" and "GM 1" - defines specific features of a MIDI sound generator (synthesizer), primarily so that MIDI files are shareable.
