It is possible to play MIDI files on Wikipedia, but rather than relying on the user's browser and operating system to support MIDI files, it relies on an extension that internally converts the MIDI instructions into a digital audio file that is playable on most browsers, and displays an audio player. For example, here is a [[File:]] wikilink to ...
Files in this and all other 2.x formats (see below) conventionally have the file extension of .SF2. Version 2.01 [3] (or 2.1) of the SoundFont file format was introduced in 1998, [4] with an E-mu sound card product called the Audio Production Studio. This version added features allowing sound designers to configure the way MIDI controllers ...

General MIDI Level 2 or GM2 is a specification for synthesizers which defines several requirements beyond the more abstract MIDI standard and is based on General MIDI, GS extensions, and XG extensions. It was adopted in 1999 by the MIDI Manufacturers Association (MMA).
A string orchestra is an orchestra consisting solely of a string section made up of the bowed strings used in Western Classical music. The instruments of such an orchestra are most often the following: the violin, which is divided into first and second violin players (each usually playing different parts), the viola, the cello, and usually, but not always, the double bass.
If a MIDI file is programmed to the General MIDI protocol, then the results are predictable, but timbre and sound fidelity may vary depending on the quality of the GM synthesizer. The General MIDI standard includes 47 percussive sounds, using note numbers 35-81 (of the possible 128 numbers from 0–127), as follows: [3]
