First set up your prefered Synth patches then try selecting the DXi Panel > Options > Save Default Dxi Synths. This should set up your synth to open as you have set it up. You can change the patches for use in the current song but it will revert back to the default on opening PTW again. Sometimes the actual Dxi/VSti settings are saved with the Seq File others are not. I use this method to allocated specified Synths to specified Ports so that selecting synths becomes easy.
