If your external MIDI sound module is GS- or GM-compatible, you can use it
without further settings. If it is not compatible with either of these, you will need to
make settings on your external MIDI sound module to change the sounds that
correspond to each note number. For details on making these settings, refer to the
manual of your MIDI sound module.
