Hm... Just to show u guys why I am very confuded about this channel things, I wrote down step by step what I am doing and the result of it;

1. Open Biab fresh
2. Generate melody including chords
3. Checking sequencer. It shows melody generated on channel 1.
4. Checking Midi monitor. It shows melody sending on channel 4.
5. Inserting VSTi Sforzando without choosing any forced channel and chose flute. It plays the flute sound.
6.. I select forced channel 1. It stills play the flute sound.
7. Checking midi monitor again. It shows midi is sent on channel 4.
8. I try forced channel 2-8. It still plays the flut sound on all..
9. I go in the sequencer and change the channel to channel 4. Still sound even the VSTi are on forced channel 8.
10. I generate a solo in the soloist. Checking the sequence and the solo is generated on channel 4.
11. I select again the Sfotzanto VSTi for the soloist track and chose flute with out any forced channel. The solo plays the flute sound..
12. I check the Midi monitor and the solo is played on channel 8, despite sequencer says channel 4.
13. I try all the forced channel from 1-8 and it plays the flute sound on all of them..
14. I save the track as Wav, and observe it says on the top of the windows; Writing DXi to disk, or something. Listen to the rendered track and only the melody gives the flute sound from VSTi. The soloist gives a trombone sound... Is the culprit here?
14. I change the VSTi on the melodist track to Kontakt. When try to load a instrument from my library, a window popping up, saying; Kontakt 5 has encountered a major problem and has been terminated. A crashlog file has been created and blablabal... I click ok and another window popping up and saying auxhost64exe has stopped working..
15. I load another VSTi in the melody track, and it plays the right sound. Without changing anything. I do the same for the soloist track, and it also plays the VSTi sound...
16. I save the song again as Wav and same result a point 14...
1 I went to the soloist track and clicked track action and set track to default setting, then save track as Wav file. The result is still no VSTi sound... I shutted Biab down again...

So what is all this mess about Channels about? Seems like it does matter at all.. Is this different result then u other guys have by doing exactly the same? Or is it my BiaB that is messed up somewhat?
