I wonder which standard they are talking about...
The General Midi Standard for MIDI drums has always been Channel 10 :)

chrisNova777:
yea i did a doubletake when i read that aswell! lol
i think it was also part of the sound blaster "MIDI KIT"
i cant remember if i got the disk with the original sound blaster pro in 1991
or if i got it from buying the midi kit to get the midi cables to attach to my
sound blaster gold when i bought it at end of summer 1996?
