"The MIDI Music Classroom"

 

         

....128 is the most important number in General Midi (GM)....there are 128(1-128 or 0-127) General Midi sounds or patches....127 is the highest volume level, 0 the lowest(0-127)....127 is full reverb, 0 is none....there are 128 positions in the stereo spectrum (64 to the left and 63 to the right with "0" being the centre)....there are 16 channels but endless tracks....Channel 10 is always the drum track.....
