Thank you Matt, and for the welcome!

All appears to have gone fine, and I'll take your advice regarding sampletank and amplitude for now ... plus I have a heavy aversion to the sound of midi voices anyway so won't often need/want to look in to using sampletank if that's its association.

No doubt I'll end up scratching my head over things as I move along, however from my earlier read-through this forum seems to be a good place with helpful people and knowledgeable advice!

Thanks again.
