drums

Hi,

I'm running NWC with a SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 supporting soundfonts.
My soundfont has many drum set (Jazz,Electro,Rock, Orchestra...)
How do I indicate in the staff properties, that I'd like to use a Jazz drum-kit rather than the default one ?

Thanks.

Set the drum staff to Channel 10.

Set the Instrument Patch (program) to the instrument or number that corresponds to the drum kit you require.

Here are some you might find:-
(The numbers depend on whether your synth is zero or one based)

Standard Kit (0 or 1 ) (Acoustic Piano)
Room Kit (8 or 9) (Celeste)
Power Kit (16 or 17) (Drawbar Organ)
Electronic (24 or 25) (Nylon Guitar)
Jazz Kit (32 or 33) - same as Standard (Acoustic Bass)
Brush Kit (40 or 41) (Violin)
Orchestral (48 or 49) (String Ensemble)
Sound Effects (56 or 57) (Trumpet)

There may be others (some soundfonts add additional sets) - try it out.
