Hello and thanks to anyone who reads this or helps me.

I am trying to get my computer to control my Roland XP-30. Eventually I
want to get it to play all the better sounding banks. But right now I would
be content to have it play a GM file.

When I try to get it to play. It seems like it just plays random notes, all
sounding like the piano. If I create my own midi file (using cakewalk 8) w/
just one channel and make it just play a scale, the keyboard won't start
sounding until a few seconds into the scale (if at all) and it doesn't even
sound the right instrument. It sounds more like a gong that just holds and
random ticks or taps.

any suggestions?
