GM (General MIDI) is a set of recommended standards
covering the way sounds are played by MIDI sound module,
the arrangement of internal sound lists, and other aspects
involving production of sound with sound generators. GM-
compatible MIDI sound generating devices are called GM
sound modules, and these devices are capable of
reproducing essentially the same musical performance,
regardless of the manufacturer or type of device.
