standardizing

the

way

in

which

sound

generating

devices

will

operate

when

MIDI

is

used

for

the

per-

formance

of

music.

If

you

use

a

sound

the

GS

There

many

music

in

certain

characteristics.

certain

things

a

bossanova,

just

as

a

rhumba

certain

characteristics

that

mark

it

Some

of
