The Set Instrument to () block was a Sound block and a Stack block. The block changed the instrument that the Play Note () for () Beats block played. It could play any of the 128 general MIDI instruments.
The block, however, was replaced with the Set Instrument to () block in Scratch 2.0, due to the lack of a MIDI synthesizer in Flash.[1]

Thus, for the Flash-based player, we had to create our own synthesizer and instrument/drum library. Currently, we have 15 instruments and 12 drums as opposed to the General MIDI collection of 128 instruments and 35-ish drums." ar-post:680190
