MIDI Channels setup in preferences for legacy tracks seem to interfere when using the Utility Tracks for MIDI.
Even with no "ctrl 7 volume events" on the Utility MIDI tracks and Legacy Tracks...
The channels assigned in preferences, appear to interfere with the 16 Utility Tracks,
causing levels not to hold. (e.g.- When you hit play, the levels shift).
To get around this, I've been setting up a separate synth on a blank track (usually solo).
Then using "Re-route MIDI Plugin" for each Utility Track to that track,
acting as the "utility synth master", to get around this issue.
(Have to manually set each track to a channel also).
Maybe the addition in the future, of a dedicated "Master Utility-Track Synthesizer" channel/fader would prevent this?
Been dealing with this issue since Utility Tracks first made their appearance.
Hope this make some sense to someone and that they've found a better workaround for this issue.
Thanks.

Hi Thunderthud,
I would just use a different instance of your MIDI plugin for the Utility track.
By default, all tracks will use the "default synth", typically the Coyote. First, you could use a unique MIDI channel for your Utility track by right-clicking on the track name | Track Settings | MIDI Channel. If you use a MIDI channel that isn't already being used then you would be okay (for example, don't select channel 3, because that is the default Piano track channel).
However, even better, click on the Plugins tab of the mixer, click where it says [default synth...], and specifically select Coyote WT from the Choose Plugin dialog. Now you'll be using a different instance of the Coyote WT plugin and it won't matter if you happen to use channel 3. I would recommend that you still select a MIDI channel as described above, since the MIDI notes might not be on the channel you expect, or there might be multiple channels - depending on where the MIDI part came from.
