Piano not Drums?

Hello - new user here.

When I play midi drum loops purchased from ProSonus they play as intended - i.e. a drum loop cause drums to play. When I play loops purchased from a different site, however, (the Loop Loft, for instance) instead of drum sounds I hear a piano...that is a piano patch is loaded, not a drum patch. How do I fix this?

Thank you.

Hello Doug,

If you use the mac DLS software synth or a GM/GS external synth to reproduce your midi files, the default channel assigned to drums is channel 10.

So you can either:
Change the drums channel in your loop files with MidiKit:

or insert the system exclusive message which assigns one or more other channels to the drum part:
