Jeff,
I understand the requirement for you to have VSTis as your instruments in your final form. However, when you are CREATING the style, using a General MIDI sound bank is far easier than trying to load multiple VSTis and try to use those.

Remember, when you are creating your style, it's only MIDI data, there is no sound. So, what does it matter what synth you use?

I DO understand that your finished product will use this Superwave collection, that's fine. You haven't gotten to that point yet.

Until you get the style completely finished, use a General MIDI synth, and one output. When you get done, and you want to test the style, THEN you can plug in your VSTis and listen to them. Let's get the basics of the style done FIRST, and then plug in the sounds you want. In other words, don't put the cart in front of the horse, you won't go anywhere and it just irritates the horse.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
