In PT and RB you just select from a drop down menu. In BIAB I have to click on the box with the currently selected soft synth (usually Edirol HyperCanvas) then change the synth to Forte Dxi, click the default synth button for slot 1 then return to the midi driver selection box.

But I have to do it twice for the displayed synth to change to the one I've just selected.

All I want to do is change all midi instruments to one of the the soft synths - either edirol or forte. I don't want different synths for different parts - I find one or other of the synths is the best sounding for a particular song.

And yes I have tried reading the manuals............

any advice please?
