Hi Noel et al:

First and foremost to all who have offered ideas and suggestions: THANK YOU! I greatly appreciate your efforts. Noel, to address your questions: Yes to all three. I think I have to look at my preferences in BIAB. Since both midi and RT files play correctly in RealBand, which uses the same hardware and driver to render audio, I conclude that BIAB is where the problem lies. So, just as soon as I can, I plan to reset everything to factory default settings, using the ALL setting in the reset option. Once reset, I'll use the ASIO4ALL driver and ForteDXi with the prediction this configuration will work. If so, I'll add back in succession the M-Audio ASIO drivers, the Ketron SD2 patch map, etc., and start changing to suit my preferences. Hopefully, through this process, I'll find what is creating the RT/melody issue. I'm somewhat comforted by knowing that the tracks work in RealBand. That at least gives me some assurance that it isn't a general hardware issue. (Ditto for Sonar X1c. No problems whatsoever with it either.)

If anyone has additional thoughts or opinions, please share them. I'll post back with the results. Wish me luck,


Bob aka jazzwombat
