General MIDI
General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to provide a way to go beyond the limitations of
proprietary designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound generating devices. Sound generating
devices and music files that meet 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 generating unit to produce
essentially the same musical performance.
General MIDI 2
The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 ( ) recommendations pick up where the original General
MIDI left off, offering enhanced expressive capabilities, and even greater compatibility. Issues that were not
covered by the original General MIDI recommendations, such as how sounds are to be edited, and how
effects should be handled, have now been precisely defined. Moreover, the available sounds have been
expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant sound generators 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.
