SampleTank 2.5 or 3? In either case doesn’t really matter- the DEFAULT MIDI channel in ST for each part is the same as the part number. However, within ST you can change the channel assigned to a part to be on (respond) to any of the 16 MIDI channels. (Click on the little (microscopic) "ch" number and drag mouse up/down to change) see pics (ST 3 is the same - just a different GUI)


I had another post that summarized how to save song using the VSTi/DXi Default Synth slot to keep settings or using/creating a .tgs file but can't find it now so if you SUFFER through my long winded journey of "self-discovery" you should be able to see how to keep synth settings for instruments
