Greetings Luiz,

If you need actual General MIDI, the only GM bank in all of the E-mu  
ROMs is on the "Sounds of the ZR" ROM. This is the ROM from the  
Ensoniq Halo keyboard - a nice collection of "Ensoniq" type sounds,  
with the GM bank, "Perfect Piano" (a good, bright piano sound -  
perfect for pop/rock). This ROM is very uneven, though - for every  
great sound in the preset patches there is a real stinker. The  
underlying samples are good, though, so for your needs I'd recommend  
this one.

Another good ROM for "all around" type sounds is the Proteus Pop  
Collection - this is basically the ROM from the Proteus 2500. It  
covers most of the "bread and butter" sounds, but no actual GM bank.  
I personally like the piano samples on this ROM, but that's just my  
opinion. :D
