Built-In Instruments |

This section lists the Instruments in the General MIDI and Beatnik Special banks.
Beatnik playback software generally includes two Built-In Instrument banks: Bank 0 contains General MIDI Instruments, and Bank 1 contains Beatnik Special Instruments. Every Instrument bank contains both Melodic Instruments and Percussion Instruments. In most cases, these Built-In instruments are kept in a disk file named patches.hsb (or some variation on that name).
This section lists all the Melodic and Percussion Instruments in the Built-In General MIDI and Beatnik Special banks.
