Hello

I can export to standard MIDI from BIAB 09.5 Mac, However, I can't find a way to export to General MIDI drum. I exported the standard MIDI drum part and imported to EZ Player Pro and set to General MIDI patch, some percussion sounds were not current. Example song "Big Beat - Slow Top 40 style". Is it possible to export to GM drum parts?

Also It seems like that I can't export individual MIDI part (eg drum) and I have to export all MIDI parts (Bass piano drums etc)

Thanks

Try Muting all the other parts first, then try creating a standard MIDI file.

Hello Mac

Thanks for that. Do you know how to export to general MIDI rather then standard MIDI?

Thanks

SMF is Standard MIDI File and the difference has nothing to do with Wheteher the file contains GM deisgnators or not.

All MIDI files are SMF these days.

GM simply means that the 16 channels are assigned according to the General MIDI bank.

For drums, that means that the Percussion Channel will always be MIDI channel 10.

On a few older synths, it might be MIDI channel 16.

If you hear, like a Grand Piano pounding away the drum line on a MIDI synth, check that Percussion channel assignment for that's what is wrong.
