I have already tried the resetting routine, even though I am fairly positive that the keyboard was not the problem - why?

- No other software has the same problem. All of them load all the midis and play them with problem voices and drum sound.

- You can see clearly from the Staff setup that Musician has assigned Channel 10 drum sound to the wrong bank assignment, and it should not be surprising that the sound would come out wrong.

- When the midi has been pre-converted to XG lite by MidiPlayer, Musician has no problem playing the file.

So the main issue here seemed to be how Musician handled the GM to XG lite conversion; something was not dealt with correctly and it was unable to reassign the GM's bank 0 in channel 10 to XG lite's bank 127. But I could not explain why this was not a problem initially, and what caused the change in Musician setup.
