Based on the quote, try transposing the drum channel by +12. If that doesn't work try transposing by -12.

Thank-you Jim Fogle

Yes I went through manual,as well. And if I wanted my computer to send drum sounds or other instruments to the Yamaha keyboard, as if I was a live band of multiple players those 16 channels would be fine & dandy, and very helpful as a midi input to my Yamaha Keyboard from my computer.

If I used my Yamaha keyboard for hand playing a drum kit for instance. It would send a midi output to the computer the velocity and notes to one channel.

Fruity Loops studio was able mute the drum channel 10

I did look for midi channel monitor software to verify what was coming out of my Yamaha Keyboard...
------------------------------
MIDI-OX 7.0.2 (917K 17-JUN-10)
Perhaps this will answer the question. Finally!
------------------------------
It is an old 2003 keyboard, perhaps not having the midi channels rooted towards a midi output for the computer; except channel 10 for the drums.

Transposing the tone +12 or - 12 for drums would not help.

Thanks for the suggestion
