javax.sound.midi.Instrument
An instrument is a sound-synthesis algorithm with certain parameter settings,
usually designed to emulate a specific real-world 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.
