OK, done .

1), 2) , 3), 5)- I have the Midi track with the notes inserted as suggested.

I have the track set on Midi Drums ch 10.

This plays OK but I have the long whistle C6 instaed of the G2 (sticks) sounding.

I can see this, using the drum window, but cannot see where you can alter this setting.

Please expand on point 4).

Sorry to be a pain but I've never used this programme before and the tutorials that I have found are crap - the videos they supplied are in Win 95!! and the user notes are not very clear.
Cheers
