The problem here is that channel 10 in General MIDI is reserved for percussion instruments as someone has pointed out. You may be able to re-program it to be a different instrument with
%%MIDI program 10 <instrument> Alternatively, you can explicitly select channels for voices from voice 10 onwards with V:10 %%MIDI channel 11 V:11 %%MIDI channel 12 and so on. If you have voices using the same instrument, you should also be able to put them on the same channel, which may save up enough channels that you never reach channel 10. If you have a tone generator which is MIDI but not General MIDI, you will probably find you don't have a problem because you don't have the drums on channel 10. It seems a shame that the drums were put on channel 10 and not on the last channel, which would have made things easier. (I haven't tried out all the suggestions here, so the details might not be quite correct). James Allwright To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
