Playing GM Midi files from Logic Pro X and BIAB

[tielemat]

Hi,

 

I have the following problem.

I start with a decent GM midifile which sounds nice when played as a SMF file directly on my PX-5S. I checked the messages in Logic's list editor and they are indeed standard GM. 

But then,  I ltry to play the same midifile into Logic Pro X , with all the tracks set on external midi with the PX-5S USB-Midi as a destination. And suddenly , the PX-5S doesn't recognize the program change messages anymore, and consequently does not select the right sounds. 

Same goes for Band-in-a-box (with PS-5X selected as Coremidi destination) , by the way, and of course the possibility of selecting sounds directly in Logic Pro X through external midi tracks and its inspector. Whenever standard GM Program change messages are send to the PS-5X, it doesn't seem to respond as a GM-compatible soundmodule. It only does through its internal SMF playback mode. 

Didi I miss smething in the process ? Thanks for your help :-))

Check system settings>midi>rx filter>program change....make sure it is OFF.
