Hi Pipeline - at least you know I'm lost - I've only just figured I'm lost and the map is gone:).

I am trying to import each individual BB MIDI track (bass, guitar, strings, piano etc) into it's own separate Cubase Instrument Track without it becoming 5 separate channels within the Cubase Instrument Track.

This is after I have done some changes/additions etc in RB and saved the individual RB track files. The audio is easy - drag the saved file into a Cubase stereo audio track and all's fine.

Reaper seems to work a bit differently as it asks if you want the MIDI file on one track and combines the 5 channels. I will try Reaper as you have mentioned and report back.
Thank you.

(I would still like to do everything in RB but still need some time to get one or two VSTi plugins sorted out to add guitar parts using the S-gear amp sim and try and get IR's of acoustic guitars and amp cabinets working - the IR's of instruments is something new to me but works the same as amp cabinet and reverb IR's).
