Hey Pipleline,

Thanks.

What I am trying to do is "decouple" the timpani track (in bass slot channel 2) from piano in channel 3.) See screenshot again.

It seems they are tied to one another, if I am not mistaken.

Also, regardless of what the velocity is set at, which you can change in the box, what I ULTIMATELY want to do is rid the tracks of any and all hard wired presets so they will "do what I tell them to": when I move the volume faders and stay put--not "snap back to the old setting when I hit return as if I had not done anything.

It is pretty confusing.
