Default Re: No Drums in midi

Hi, Tom:

Look at the Staff Setup box (either from the Staff menu or by clicking on the "loudspeaker" icon to the left of the track in Window view). By the way, they are different boxes, but do basically the same, one just does it for one track only, the other for all the tracks.

Make sure you have set your drum track to midi channel 10. That is the default (and for most purposes ONLY) channel that General Midi drum sounds play on.

You may be hearing the drums playing from your keyboard, but the channel may not be set correctly in the recording, thus giving you a non-drum sound when the midi is played in another program.

Also, look at the Bank setting. Make sure the drum channel bank is set to "General Midi drums" or "Bank 128" or something similar. If it is set at Bank 1 (General Midi or GM or similar), while it may play back correctly (if the channel is set to Channel 10), you may see "Grand Piano" or similar as the instrument name.

Hope that helps.

David
