A MIDI percussion question.

[Rock Star 87]

first off, i want to play drums on other channels other than 10. i don't even want to involve soundfonts unless i have to. every time i try to assign the percussion tracks to the channels i want, it plays it as some f-ed up instrument and it sounds like sh*t. i tryed assigning it to the General MIDI Drums patch, it does the same thing. the only reason i care is because i want to adjust the volumes of the individual percussion elements seperately. I am using a SB32 soundcard and no external MIDI instruments. this is really bugging me, and i'm sure i'm not the only one. pleeeeze help!! thank u.

There should be a mixer/editor (of sorts) to adjust the drum volumes, pans, velocity, etc. Check out the help files or manual.
You might be better off getting a better soundcard. SB Live is cheap.

His problem is he could not use channel other than 10 for drums sound. No matter how many tracks he has, if those tracks assigned to same channel (10), one track will interfere another. Read my post in Cakewalk forum. You'll need to avoid using standard GM patch to play drums on channel other than 10.

BTW, johny was right. SBLive! is so damn cheap, get one if you realy into PC/MIDI/soundfonts.
