Thanks for the responses.

This is the way I now look at it: having the channel number 0 set on a MIDI track means "let PTP make an assignment of the channel number for note inserted in the track" while setting a real channel number in the range 1 - 16 means "force the channel number for events in the track to the given value".

Regards,
John
