General MIDI Tone

The General MIDI standard defines the tone numbering sequence, the drum sound numbering sequence, the number of MIDI channels that can be used, and other general factors that determine the sound source configuration. Because of this, musical data produced on a General MIDI sound source can be played back using similar tones and identical nuances as the original, even when played on another manufacturers sound source.

This keyboard conforms with General MIDI standards, so it can be connected to a computer and used to play back General MIDI data that has been purchased, downloaded from the Internet, or obtained from any other source.
