Need help using Sonic Implants - Drum Implants

[Scheisskopf99]

I am loading these drum implants into Soundblaster Live Audio HQ, assigning it bank 10. The problem is my sequencer/recorder always uses the GM drum kit instead.

How do I activate the drum implants? I assume I assign the drums to bank 10 in the sequencer. Do I need to give it a specific patch to use as well?

I also tried loading the drums into bank 11 and 12 just to try it out. The Soundblaster keyboard recognises the drums on those banks and plays them on the keyboard correctly, but again the sequencer will not play them on bank 11 or 12, nothing but silence.

Doesn't matter what Bank Number you assign the Sound Fonts to.

Now I am assuming that the Drum Implants are General MIDI-compliant sound sets. If that's true, here's how to use them:

Attach the Sound Font (Options -> Sound Fonts -> Attach) to a bank.

Pick a track and open its Track Properties dialog box.

Source should be the channel your MIDI keyboard is sending on, or MIDI Omni.

You should have a device named Sound Font Device in the Port list; this is the one you want.

Choose Channel 10.

Set Bank Select Method to Controller 0.

From the Bank list, you should see Drum Implants listed; select.

Patch should be None.

That should do it. (You might have to fiddle with the Bank Select Method a little.)

Hope this gets you there.
