My top priority is hearing my recorded keyboard input play against the BB rhythm section. So far I can achieve this only by switching from CoreMidi to Apple Synth. If this switch is necessary, then my priority is to have BB keep CoreMidi available as a driver option; as it stands, I have to quit/restart BB which is a raging nuisance.

Following your prompt, I've tried fiddling with the "Local On/Off" setup in BBox preferences, but the situation remains unchanged.

Lesser priorities: to hear the BB rhythm section and my playing through the same set of phones when recording. I can live with wearing two, but it seems clumsy. Also, ideally, I'd like to see my notes appear on some staff somewhere while I'm recording, but if this is not possible no big deal.

I'm using an M-Audio Uno, usb at the computer of course, and plugged into the keyboard per instructions on the cable ends. This setup shown and confirmed in Midi Studio. All ports set to the Uno.

BTW I solved my "one chorus" problem (brilliant: just don't click the All Choruses option when keeping a take...)

Thanks for your help. I appreciate your patient approach.
