Thanks MountainSide and jford for your responses - I've had ST working in RB and Biab (sort of: more to explore ST than as a productive tool so far) and I see what you mean about its awkwardness in Biab, though I suppose that down the track I could have a closer look at Noel96's tips & tricks post about OmniSynth and its use in making ST behave as a GM synth. Not sure I'll be wanting to though - Biab is fine as it is (using VSC) as a practice tool, which is my main use of the program.
Strangely, the bass and piano play an octave down in Biab with ST as the synth - has anybody else had this happen? This led me to Prefs - Channels where I could make appropriate adjustments (yet another aspect of Biab I previously hadn't a clue about) and then it worked fine. Not sure about this in RB yet but it'll be easy to fix if it does occur.
With regard to RB, I've been aware for a while now that I need a better understanding of both channels and controllers in order to work more effectively in RB (and with MIDI generally) - can anyone point me to discussions or articles that would be useful study material?
Many thanks,
Clinton.
P.S. ST:Real-sounding double bass! Wow!!
