Hi
I just have a possible silly question.
I'm trying to use the VS1053b Percussion Instruments (GM1+GM2).
Do I change the midiSetChannelBank(0, VS1053_BANK_MELODY)?
If I change the parameter to either:

#define VS1053_BANK_DRUMS1 0x78
#define VS1053_BANK_DRUMS2 0x7F

It does not seem to work and I can't select the drum kit?

Grateful for any help
Thanks

It looks like you have the right idea. Is this what you have tried:

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE

midiSetChannelBank(0, VS1053_BANK_DRUMS1);

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE

midiSetChannelBank(0, VS1053_BANK_DRUMS2);

from the datasheet:

0x00: bank select (0 is default, 0x78 and 0x7f is drums, 0x79 melodic)
