Thanks guys. Just getting back to this thread.

I'm going to upgrade to the latest PT in a few days... do you know if that comes with a software implementation of VSC or whatever?

I also own BIAB but need to upgrade that too... so maybe that comes with the software VSc/VSTi/DXi...

I'm still a little confused about why PT can not see the data defining the General MIDI instrument the keyboard is setup for and simply record that data... and upon inspection (a click or whatever) display what it recorded. This after all is simply a series of data bytes/words/packets transmitted by the MIDI controller to PT... so I would think think the data/information is in there somewhere and the 'operator' shouldn't have to intervene or have to think about it.

But your reference to weather the device (the midi controller) sends the selected program info (the selected instrument) data out the MIDI pipe (cable) to the receiving device (PT in this case) before you start recording or after will require more research/education on my part.

Regardless,

Thanks for the help folks !
