PSR-EW425 Drum Kit voices MIDI issues

[Piano Tone]

Hey there!  I'm new to MIDI so the answer to this may be obvious . . . I created a MIDI song on my PSR-EW425 that includes style drums as well as a track with some custom finger drumming using voice 299 (Rock Kit) and exported that to a couple different DAWs; in both DAWs the style drums import fine but the finger drumming track comes in as a keyboard.  Anyone know why this would be happening and what the easiest fix would be?  I'm trying to figure out how to change an organ track to a drum track in Garageband . . .

I found a bizarre but cool solution that works (not for marking the source MIDI any differently, but how to fix this in Garageband for iPad)

Assuming that the DAWs are sending MIDI to the EW425...

The PSR-EW425 follows the Yamaha XGlite voice architecture which is a super-set of General MIDI. At the very least, GM channel 10 is the drum part.

If you finger-drummed into some other part, needs to be set to the desired drum voice. Rock Kit is Bank Select MSB 127, Bank Select LSB 0, Program Change 1. Depending on your DAWs convention, you may need to subtract one from the Yamaha Program Change number.

If the finger-drum is not channel 10, you may also need to send an XG drum set-up Sy*** message to the desired MIDI channel.

Hopefully, your DAW(s) have instrument definitions for the PSR-EW425 (or something like it). It's much easier to change voices by name than MSB/LSB/PC.

Hope this helps -- pj

you can find the lsb/msb of anything by using that sound /voice and recording a midi. When you look at the midi data in an editor (such as on PSRsx700/900/Genos) as long as you display all (don't filter any midi events out) you'll see the LSB/MSB at the start of each track.
