[comp.sys.atari.st] MIDI percussion track

bill@mwca.UUCP (Bill Sheppard) (01/19/91)

Having recently purchased a Yamaha PSS-790 synthesizer, I've found that most
song files with percussion tracks sound terrible (naturally, because the
keyboard mapping of drums to keys on the Yamaha is different than a Roland
or Casio). So, is there any relatively easy way to modify the song file to
sound decent? Or is there basically no way to know whether a C# on the
percussion track is supposed to map to a bass drum on the original synth and
a G# is a high-hat...the resulting cacophony of drums, bells, whistles, and
voices is interesting, but surely not what the original musician intended!
