Oh, I didn’t know that the pan pot was reversed in the MT-32. I can fix that in the Apogee Sound System, as all MIDI commands are processed before being sent to the actual device.
Are there any other MT-32 quirks or differences compared to the GM standard?
The instruments are similar, but not the same. IIRC, there are just some notes that will hit a completely wrong or missing bank. GM has more banks than an MT-32, so stuff will just not play, etc. There are utilities to do conversions and stuff, but it's never going to be perfect. You basically will have to choose new instruments in some cases.

I guess if that means you are loading the GM note bank into the MT-32, that will do the trick?
