Default Drum part will not play

I have spent months trying to get midi files to play drum parts. Midi keybd is Yamaha PSR 8000. I have imported Roland GS drumkit and about once in 200 times it will play ok. Never sets up correctly when I look at channel 10 drum part. Is this something that others have experienced?

Default Re: Drum part will not play

Hi, Ronald:

I can't think of any reason why your PSR wouldn't respond to Channel 10 as a drum channel through Notation Software. I have Yamaha, Casio and Roland instruments that use Channel 10 and it all seems to be pretty automatic.

I had a quick glance at the PSR 8000 manual and I can't see anything at all peculiar about its GM/XG implementation. So, it SHOULD response to Channel 10 as a drum instrument.

I just did a quick check with my XG instrument (Yamaha DGX 500) and it responded on channel 10 as a drum instrument with all possible combinations of bank/drum instrument settings in Notation Composer.

Can you save one of the files you've been having trouble with as a .not file and post it? I'll see what it does on my system. I ask for it as a .not file in order to see how it's set up in Notation Software format.

Thanks.

David

I have concluded that my PSR8000 is so old, that there may be someelectronic components that are not working. I don't want anyone to spendany more time on this question and I thank all who have responded so far.I should be thinking of buying a newer more recent keyboard.Thank you again.Ronald
