: In General Midi mode, there doesn't seem to be a way to choose sounds other than from the General
: Midi Bank. With General Midi off though, the Standard Drum Kit on the General Midi Mix reverts back
: to a Piano Patch. I'm having trouble figuring out which Program is being referenced for the General
: Midi Drums.
You're right, there IS no way to select patches from another bank in General MIDI mode. When outside GM mode, I've gotten drums by selecting patch 120 on channel 10. I've heard that weird piano sound myself, and I don't have a consistent way to solve it other than force a particular patch.
