Instrument maps

Normal instrument set

These are the normal GS instruments for non-drum parts. Note that instruments with Bank Select MSB = 0, also known as Capital Tones, correspond to the General MIDI instruments. However, the names sometimes differ, and one instrument (highlighted in red) was incorrectly mapped on early SC-55 models.

The following table is generated from shingo45endo's tone-browser data extracted from ROM dumps, but with some spelling fixes.
