Bs-16i and Cubasis question
I’ve just bought bs-16i so I could muck around with all the old gm midi files I have. The midi files play fine in the app itself but when I load the midi file into Cubasis the drums play with a piano sound.
I’ve tried changing the midi channel to 10 and have even manually changed the preset to drums but when I start the song it reverts back to piano, it even changes back to piano if I change it to drums part the way through. It’s as if there’s a program change throughout the drum track that’s changing it to piano.
Any thoughts?

If track sounds change automatically at song start then your MIDI file contains one or more Program Change messages that you have to remove first.
Can you remove program changes in Cubasis? The link you attached is for importing midi files which I can do.
Program changes was my first thought but all the other tracks work fine in Cubasis but not the drums, yet in bs-16i the drum program change is fine so it seems to be a Cubasis problem.
I know it can be done. But how is the question. Cubasis pro users?
Ok, found how to remove the program changes, just double tap on the track to bring up the midi editor and on the left you can select program change and bank select, then just erase all of + in the track.
It works but it still seems strange how Cubasis is interpretating the program changes on just the drum track
I'm not sure, but usually the drum channel plays a bank separate from the 128 GM instruments.
Drums are often on channel 10 fed by the drum sound bank while the other channels play patches on the GM instruments bank.
Program Change 1 on the GM bank is the Piano while Program Change 1 on the DRUM bank is the first drum kit.
