- * An instrument is a sound-synthesis algorithm with certain parameter

- * musical instrument or to achieve a specific sort of sound effect.
- * Instruments are typically stored in collections called soundbanks.
- * Before the instrument can be used to play notes, it must first be loaded
- * onto a synthesizer, and then it must be selected for use on
- * one or more channels, via a program-change command. MIDI notes
- * that are subsequently received on those channels will be played using
- * the sound of the selected instrument.
