Re: Notation for drums

Hello,

Sorry, I do mistake, number for Closed High-hat is 42 (note F#).
Note: Numbers in both tables in my last e-mail is decimal.

For testing I send you hex dump of very short midi file (it's length is 68
bytes). This file consist of one drums track (called Drumz) with one note
only. It uses channel 10. For playing this file you have to use apropriate
midi player. I test these four:

playmidi         -   Linux Red Hat 6.0, console    -   not played
Kmidi            -   Linux Red Hat 6.0, KDE 1.1  -   not played
Kmid             -   Linux Red Hat 6.0, KDE 1.1  -  played, but sound is
distorted (bad driver for soundkart?)
Media player -   Windows 98 - played and sound is excellent.

In this file, byte number 60 (sets in $23  now) is a number of percussion
instrument from first table from my last e-mail. If you change this byte to
one other from this table, you will hear other instrument.
