Thanks Riki I'll give that a try also. I do edit the midi in power tracks on the pc then I put it on a thumb drive and play it as a song on the psr s 700. Some songs have the clap and some don't.
But on the pc using gm it is a ride cymbal but when I transfer over it comes out a hand clap.
I did find out on a couple of midis that if I transpose the d# on the drum track (ch 10)up one octave on the pc, it plays the ride cymbal instead of the hand clap on the psr.
Which to me, so far, is better than just erasing the hand clap. I've only had it (the psr) a couple of days so I've only tried it with a couple of files.

thanks again.
