Important Note:
Once you have made a Variation
or Bank change, it is easy to forget that you have done that
and often the next voice you choose has no variation: As a result
you hear nothing. and think that there is something wrong! Just
reset to the variation to 0 and you will return to the original
GM set of voices.

GM, General MIDI represents 128 assigned voices
that are common throughout the industry.
GS is a further version that adds the ability to access 128 banks
of voices, based upon the GM set.
An easy way to explain this is: You are going
to hear a concert, There are 128 seats in each row. There are
128 rows. As long as you know what your seat number is and row
number is you will be seatd in the correct seat. There are 16,384
seats in the auditorium and still it is very easy to find your
seat.
GS MIDI makes it possible for you to access
as many as 16,384 voices using only two commands, Voice and Variation.
