Ok, I've worked with RB for a few weeks now and and getting a pretty good handle on how the program works and some of the amazing things it can do, and am in various stages of completing several songs using it.

Now I want to record some midi tracks using a midi controller attached to my computer via usb (using a Novation Remote 25SL Compact). Drivers are installed and show up in RB. When I load a pre-recorded midi song into RB and click on one of its midi tracks I'm assuming I should be able to "play" the midi instrument already assigned to that track with the external controller. But all I get is an accoustic piano voice no matter which track I highlight (each track is assigned a different DXi midi instrument, assigned to a different midi channel).

However, when I close RB, then open Sonar and load the same midi file, I can highlight an individual track in Sonar and hear the individual midi instruments when I play keys on the external controller.

The midi drivers in both RB and Sonar are set up as follows: Midi In: Remote SL Compact Midi Out: Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth (re-route to DXi VSTi synth for RB). Both programs are set to use MME for audio.

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?
