The genmid standard Soundeffects

 

Midi has 127 standard sounds that are universal on all standard GM-Midi instruments.

Wavetables (sound bank of the computer's sound card).
But also Midi instruments such as organs, keyboards, etc.

Usually these are counted as 0 to 127, but 1 to 128 is also common.

Often these first 127 sounds are considered "Bank 0"
further "banks" (e.g. Bank 1 or Bank 2) are usually specific sounds of the device itself.
Then you talk about sounds 128 to 255 (bank 1) or sounds 256 to 383 (bank 2), etc.

Here's a list of the common default Midi sounds:
