General Midi, newbie question Options

[stalked]

Hello all, muchos help needed, im currently studying a music technology course and have been told I must create a composition entirely using general midi. I understand the basic background to this term general midi i.e. protocol set up so all could have standardised format etc. What I would like to know is are there a specific set of sounds that are regarded as the general midi and if so where can I get a set of these. Im using cubase SX with an iBook and an evolution ekeys USB controller/keyboard, as you probably know this contains no sound of its own so what are my options? am I off out to buy a midi sound module, if so which is best/cheapest? or alternatively can I download a patch/set of sounds, I think there must be some kind of in built set with the iBook as i can play midi files, am I wrong? (wouldnt be the first) if so how can I access these through cubase? Just started using Cubase so loads more questions there but i'll have a go at those myself if I can get this sorted
any help would be top
cheers

Thanks for your help guys. Ive since encountered another problem, I found the included sound banks and have access to numerous instruments but I cant actually get them to play in cubase SX, I can record midi notes into the track but I cant hear any sound whilst recording or playing back what ive recorded. Ive been into the midi device manager and there seems to be no option to select quicktime as a device. Ive already posted a similar question on a different thread (apologies for re posting) adn was told that I'll have to go out and get a midi hardware device, I dont really want the additional expense so just wanted to know if anyone knew of any other solution, or what would be the best solution if I do end up paying for it
Thanks again
