Hi Pete,
Yes, channel 10 is defined to be the percussion channel in General MIDI.

I've noticed that MIDI Channel 10 (or 9 if you're counting from 0
rather than 1) behaves differently to the rest when using the
default QuickTime instrument set on the DLSMusicDevice. It seems to
be geared towards percussion: for example, selecting instrument ID
zero gives you the standard drum kit rather than the normal "Piano
1".
I've a sneaking suspicion I'm demonstrating a lack of general MIDI
knowledge by asking this, but does anybody know why this is or where
this behaviour is documented? I've noticed that MIDI files do tend
to use channel 10 for percussion. Is there something in the General
MIDI standard about this?
