More, like a genre list of it, this is what I meant:
Piano
Bass
Synth
Drums
Percussion
------------
Somehow, more and more new tones have been founded from Synthesia, and most of them are not from my sound card.
I also wondered if it can split it into a seperate tone, such as "Various" tone, a particular tone I never thought of having it, or was it a bunch of tones mixed together?
Anyway, just checking to see if Synthesia can't recognize some tones, or it may be that my sound card looks like it needs to be updated.
What midi tones (or something) can Synthesia play?
No explicit, hateful, or hurtful language. Nothing illegal.

Hardware Information: Dell Alienware 15 R4, Intel Core i7-8750H @ 2.20GHz / 2.21 GHz, 16GB RAM, Nvidia RTX 2070 / Nvidia GTX 1060 dual-GPU, Roland FP-10, MIDI-OX + LoopMIDI combo.
So, Synthesia will try to play any instrument that is requested in the MIDI file. If your sound card has any MIDI support at all, it will be able to play everything in the basic list of 128 instruments. (See the General MIDI Level 1 Sound Set for the complete list.)
Now, the "Various" does mean that the track uses more than one instrument. I just finished adding a MIDI "format-0" to "format-1" converter into the game (but haven't updated the development version yet). That means songs that only have a single "Various" track will be split into many tracks with one instrument each. There are certain cases -- mostly where a song has more than 16 tracks -- where you might still see a "Various" or two, but the change makes the game playable with format-0 songs.

I don't know, I checked my sound card and noticed there were more than 128 sounds.
So, about the "Various", I think of two things from what you said:
1. I can see the list of all "Various" instruments before I play the music, if I want to.
2. I can play percussions, drums, and other stuffs within Synthesia, and play out my own beat.
I might've been wrong, though.
But, if it is "Various", how can I tell different instruments from the same color?

So, in the new 0.6.2 version, you should see "Various" way less than you used to. It will still appear in some cases, but for the most part, it should be split up into several tracks that each have their own single instrument.
Soon (I think in 0.6.3) I will be further splitting up "Various" tracks so that you'll never have to see it again and each instrument will always get its own track.
As for percussion and playing drum beats, you should be able to now. The default is to set those tracks to "Played But Hidden", but you should be able to set them to whatever you like, including "You Play", like any other track.
