These lists came from the MIDI-Perl module written by Sean Burke (you need to install MIDI-Perl anyway, to get muscript's MIDI output working) using a little Perl script such as the following . . .

#! /usr/bin/perl
use MIDI;
print "\nGeneral MIDI patch numbers:\n";
foreach (sort {$a<=>$b} keys %MIDI::number2patch) {
   print "$_ $MIDI::number2patch{$_}\n";
}
print "\nGeneral MIDI Percussion (on Channel 9):\n";
foreach (sort {$a<=>$b} keys %MIDI::notenum2percussion) {
   print "$_ $MIDI::notenum2percussion{$_}\n";
}
