The GS Format (
) is Roland’s set of specifications for standardizing the
performance of sound generating devices. In addition to including support
for everything defined by the General MIDI, the highly compatible GS
Format additionally offers an expanded number of sounds, provides for the
editing of sounds, and spells out many details for a wide range of extra
features, including effects such as reverb and chorus.
Designed with the future in mind, the GS Format can readily include new
sounds and support new hardware features when they arrive.
