The above equation is known as the fundamental thermodynamic relation, for which the independent variables are taken as S and V, with respect to which T and P are partial derivatives of U. While this has been derived for quasistatic changes, it is valid in general, as U can be considered as a thermodynamic state function of the independent variables S and V.

While MIDI 1. 0 by itself provides a communications protocol which ensures that different instruments can interoperate at a fundamental level ( e. g., that pressing keys on a MIDI keyboard will cause an attached MIDI sound module to play musical notes ), GM goes further in two ways: it requires that all GM-compatible synthesizers meet a certain minimal set of features, such as being able to play at least 24 notes simultaneously ( polyphony ), and it attaches specific interpretations to many parameters and control messages which were left under-specified in the MIDI 1. 0 spec, such as defining instrument sounds for each of the 128 possible program numbers.
