@yjmbo: yep, that's the beauty of it -- anyone can use whatever soundfont they'd like!

so up until the latest alda release, the only MIDI percussion instruments available in alda were the "percussive" set, general MIDI patches 113-120

dave01:01:59

each of these patches is just like any other MIDI patch -- the higher notes you use, the higher/lower the sample is played

dave01:01:26

but there is also a dedicated MIDI percussion channel, on which you can use these instruments: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_MIDI#Percussion

dave01:01:50

these work differently than the patches you can use on all the other MIDI channels

dave01:01:22

each note is mapped to a different drum/percussion sound

dave01:01:26

and you can't change the pitch
