Changing Drum Sets in a GS Sound Module

The Drum Part (ch. 10) of a GS module does not respond to Bank Select messages. However, if you try to send only a Program Change message from the PC-70, a Bank Select message will end up being transmitted along with it anyway because the data for the last sound specified will have been retained in memory. For this reason, you should always send a value of 0 for Controller Numbers 00 and 32 first, then send the Program Number in order to make sure you obtain the Drum Set you need.
