What can they do and not do?

Instrument definitions don’t increase the number of sounds or the capabilities of your modules, they just make it easier to find and remember the sounds and/or MIDI controllers you want to use, if they’re not all generic General MIDI items. After you define an instrument, Music Creator displays the names that you choose for the sounds in each of that instrument’s banks, rather than displaying the same 128 General MIDI names over and over for each bank of sounds.
