Thanks. I knew about the GM1/GM2 spec URL - that's basically advertising
for buying the spec from the MIDI organization.

Downloading the Roland Sound Canvas manual was a good idea, I could
compare that with the XG spec and if they suggest the same, I could
change FluidSynth default to be in line with that standard. Two examples
are that the default volume of a channel will be 100 (current default
value is 127) and all channels will get instrument 0 as default (current
default instrument is the same as the channel number).

Any objections to these (and similar) changes to make FluidSynth more in
line with the midi specifications?
