Dave,

Two common problems seem to be cropping up: The kit w/song is 
defaulting to the GM kit and the selected voices are reverting to 
piano notes. Here's a combination of suggestions from the Tips and 
Tricks section of DTXpressions that might help:

To replace the piano notes, 
Press the Song button. 
Page over until you see SONG CH 1=off 
Change CH 1 to CH 7 
Change off to on 
Make sure V=meldy is selected instead of v=drum
Change PCNo to the sound you want. (1 for piano 33 for bass etc.They 
are listed in your manual) 

To assign the right kit to a song,
Select User song from the Play mode. 
Press [SONG] button. 
Press [PAGE DOWN] button to select Channel and PCNo screen. Select 
Channel 10 and turn channel ON. 
Top line of display should read "SONG Ch10=on". 
Using [SEL] buttons, move cursor to "PCNo" field and enter desired 
kit number for current song. 
Press [PLAY] button to return to Play mode. 

Hope these steps help.
