1. How can I get RB to stop sending control change or patch info to my synth?

2. Recently I keep seeing this message when trying to generate BB tracks: "Could not insert track since track number 48 contains data." But I saw no data in T48. Maybe it was easy to miss. Is there a way to clear everything from a track?

3. How can I export without effects? Some tracks have reverb on them and I can't seem to turn it off.

4. Yesterday a project I was working on suddenly had no 2-bar count in. No problem, but then when I generated tracks, they generated from bar 3. Huh?

Thanks.

1. Preferences - Options - MIDI, look at check boxes available. Send realtime controller, send last patch etc

2.Track - Erase

3. Highlight the track numbers (hold CTRL and click tracks) then use Track - Export.

4. Weird, check the Prerences tabs and re-enable the two bar count in (?)

Thanks for your help.

Regarding #3, I don't see an Export option under the Track menu. I've been exporting by selecting the track and dragging to the "Export Selection" button. But this gives me no option to omit any effects processing. And I've looked in the mixer, but do not see a reverb there to turn on or off.

Re #4, I tried that last night, to no avail.

3. Sorry, it's under Audio pull down. I was tired last night.

I've been trying that Track - Erase thing, but I'm still getting the message that T48 has data. First I select the track, then Track - Erase. I have no idea how T48 has anything in it.

Re the 2 bar count in, I couldn't find a menu option to enable it. As a workaround, I'm finding that I have to enter my chords starting at bar 3, then the song is generated correctly.

Highlight track 48 and open Event list to see if it has data.

I've never seen this message before.

I ran into the exact same problem and checked the events on the "unused" tracks (6 through 48). They all contain VolNodeCtrl and VolCtrl events. I didn't touch those tracks so I have no idea how they got there. This is preventing RB from generating tracks.

RB seems to get into this state simply by changing the style and choosing Generate All Tracks. I'm a noob so I might be doing something wrong.
