Just in case anyone else has this problem with a M06/M08 synth, here are the pieces I was missing.

First, you need to go under UTILITIES > MIDI on the synth and set the Midi to USB

Second, change the option just below it to the MIDI thru channel you have set in BIAB.

Third, make sure you check the port your synth is set to. If you use any other USB devices on your comp, then count them up and set the port on the M0 based synth to at least one higher than that number.

Fourth, go into the MIDI driver setup in BIAB and select the first M0 based synth you see on both the output and the input.

Last, to get the drum tracks to work on the M0, remember to set the Bank 0 setting to 127 for the standard drum kit that is on the synth. Using the LSB setting, you can change kits.

Thanks rharv for trying to help, but most of the issue was setting the synth up. I had already disabled the VST settings.

I'm new to MIDI over USB, and obviously new to the M06. It took three days to get this to work with BIAB, but the sounds are really beautiful on this synth.

When I went shopping for this, I specifically asked to hear the strings, the piccolo, the flute, the six and twelve string guitars, and the acoustic piano. Fell in love with the sounds.

It's not a four thousand dollar synth, but it meets my needs. Has the same sound set as the Motif ES.

Thanks,

Charles

PS. I forgot to mention that in order to hear more than one instrument, you must hit the song mode button on the panel. Just FYI.
