Oh, now I see. I'm afraid it does put all percussion onto channel 10,
which undercuts our strategy of leaving the specialized stuff to fixed
channels.
That said, the fix is pretty obvious: as before, I'll use the instrument's
fixed channel if it has one. I had been thinking of that as just an
optimization, implying that it shouldn't be done until everything works.

Yes.

That stands to reason, and it doesn't seem too complicated. But I
wouldn't be able to test it, since my soundcard doesn't do GM2.
