The GM List displays all 128 sounds used in my midi files

General MIDI (GM) Patch List

The list of sounds (patches) below constitute a standardized set of 128 GM (General Midi) sounds found on all keyboards, sound modules etc. bearing the GM logo. Most MIDI files (sometimes referred to as SMF or standard midi files) use these 128 sounds in their composition. Many sound sources can have thousands of sounds but these are generally used by the professionals and specialists. The GM set is an excellent set for the beginner delving into MIDI for the first time.
(The MIDI file opening this page features all 128 patches played in sequence from 1 to 128 on the GM patch list - can you identify them all?)
