Hi Will.

OK, lets go through it in order.

Output Drivers - Either the Soundmax or the Microsoft GS should work.

1) Open the CLASSIC TRACKS window. (Maybe just TRACKS on PT9) The boxes you need are CH for the midi channel and PRG for the patch, Double clicking on the PRG box will bring up a dialogue where you can choose the patch. Once these are entered, it should play these sounds back.

2) These are the settings as described in (1).

3) No, not that I can remember. (It's been a while since that version!)

4) It's usually called a software instrument, also known as a VSTi or DXi.

5) As (4).

6) Yes.

There are a lot of useful improvements to Power Tracks since version 9. We're now on PT 2013. It's well worth the up-grade.

If you need more info, we're always happy to help.
