GM (General MIDI System Level 1) is an addition to the MIDI standard that ensures that any GM-compatible
music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of maker.
The GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that support the General MIDI standard.
XG is a new MIDI format created by Yamaha, which significantly improves and expands upon the General MIDI
standard by providing a greater variety of high-quality voices plus considerably enhanced effect operation -- while
being fully compatible with GM.
