Andrew,

Well... it seems that the keyboard is now working. I do have to click the Play to start any song, but after that the keyboard plays with or without a song playing.

Now, I have to ask why the song being loaded gets to decide the instrument and more importantly VOLUME of the Thru track. I am playing one specific song and for whatever reason that song fiddles with the settings, changing my piano to 25 Nylon String Guitar at volume 90. I really need the volume of the piano to be a 127 to be able to hear it over the song.

I guess from the perspective of the soloist using BIAB to "back them up" being able to determine what instrument your keyboard is going to be and what volume would be appropriate in each song. You set up in advance and then just play. It does seem though that people like myself who just want to play a piano piece to all songs starting at max volume, it would be nice to have a simple "override" checkbox that if I check that box then BIAB would wrest control away from the song and play it at MY permanent preset.

At any rate, thanks a million for helping me to sort this thing out. My keyboard plays, all is good. Now I just have to learn the other 99.9% of BIAB.
