Most sequencing software that I've used will save in format 1, so you could
convert it that way.  If it's a GM file (and you're using the STD sound
bank) then you have to insert a program change to get the drums to work
right anyway - so I'm told.  (Chan 10, Prog 127 - Can this be right?  I
thought drums were on Prog. 128, but that would require a bank select as
MIDI prog numbers are 7-bit.)
