Hi,
Could you give me a help for the problems below

Objective:
Want to make exported MIDI as Drums( and other instruments) in order to be able to choose MIDI by ear Clip regardless of PC/Mac/software like Quick Time.

Problem: The MIDI Sounds Piano when I play back, or some other instrument if I change Program Number.
I referred MIDI program number diagram (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_MIDI)
And changed MIDI channel to 10 but it doesn't work out.


Thanks

Sounds like you are not using MIDI channel 10. The program number has nothing to do with MIDI channel. You must consult your instrument/software docs to ensure you have proper settings.

thank for suggestion.

As I said before, I changed midi Channe1 to 10.
That would be alright if I hook other Instrument or something to Ableton just by making channel 10.
But if I export as MIDI file and play back with quick time player, Program number setting does seem to me Matter which change tone of the MIDI.


I've been using Ableton since 5 for 3 years.
I know most of the things but never needed to export MIDI as GM format or something to be heard the tone not on the Sequencers, so I got this problem.

Usually it doesn't matter what kind of MIDI data in it as far as others can see notes and velocity and other parameters.

Anybody has any idea?
