General MIDI is a set of recommendations that standardizes the MIDI capabilities of
sound modules. Sound modules and music files that adhere to 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 module with essentially the
same musical results.
The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 ( ) recommendations pick up where General
MIDI leaves off, offering enhanced expressive capabilities and even greater compatibility.
Issues not covered by the original General MIDI standard - such as how sounds are
to be edited, and how effects should be handled - are precisely defined in General
MIDI 2. Moreover, the available sounds have been expanded. General MIDI 2
compliant sound modules are capable of reliably playing back music files that carry
either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo. In some cases, the conventional
form of General MIDI, which does not include the new enhancements, is referred to
as “General MIDI 1” as a way of distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.
