Instrument 16385 is Piano. Did anyone ever find a solution for this?


David,

Yes, my good friend Vora Vor came up with a solution for this. Basically, you can't do it with a Noteplayer control, but instead, use a plugin that allows you to send MIDI notes, like Vora's REALmidi. You can then choose to send the notes to channel 10 (the drum channel) of Windows' MIDI playback engine "microsoft gs wavetable synth". This all sounds complicated, but its not, really. Playing a note with REALmidi is very similar to playing one with a noteplayer control, so it is not very difficult to convert over, if you've already got your program set up for a noteplayer.
