Hi thanks for your replies guys,

No that is not the case

If you use the basic midi set bank from xg they have a msb and lsb of 000 000 respectively
And are fully midi compliant.

Yes I am aware of the one number shift that Yamaha uses for its patches
I did try the setting for sending xg mode at start up but it did not do the trick.
I normally have a XGlite pat file loaded that takes care of that.
Anyway the vst works fine in realband and also in BIAB if you import a multi ch midi file into the melody track this will play drums with any data on ch10 as per normal.
The problem is playing the style drum track, track 3 ch 10 it does not play drums it plays the equivalent instrument patch there fore for drum set 1 standard kit you get a piano, so the fact that the data is on ch10 it is not playing drum sets as normal midi practise.
It’s got me beat worked fine for years, it seem to be since I upgraded from 2019 to 2021. but then there seems to have been a lot of midi problems with the new mixer.

Thanks Mike
