This is straightforward: plug it, turn it on, set the volume and that's all. It automatically recognizes the type of midi (GM/GM2/GS/XG). The module it's has a lot of features: 660 patches and 23 drum sets, 32-channels, 64-voice polyphony (not too much but enough for 95% of midis), a quite decent effects section (basic reverb/chorus units, but they work well), serial and USB connection and a wide standard compatibility (GM/GM2/GS/XG). It's a decent module for the price, why Roland stopped making so many of their great modules one will never know. I would recommend the SD-20 if you are looking for a good-sounding and basic (and hence not very expensive) module which can deal with all midi standards. It's not very easy to use for composing, though, and if you are seriously involved in GS and/or XG, I would go for the real thing (older Roland sound canvases and yamaha XG gear). It's a good choice for GM2 while keeping compatiblity for other standards.
