Hi Jay,

Thanks for the reply. That finally makes sense. I do have the owners manual--just haven't had time to go thru it yet. One last question--if I configure it for one channel does it output all 6 notes on that one channel? If not which note would it pick? I'm still a bit unsure about that. Basically I'm a drummer by nature. I am probably doing things a bit backwards anyways. i write the lyrics for songs, then I send them to my musician friend who comes up with a melody. That's where we get slowed down, because he's self taught and can play great but can't read very well. So I struggle to get his "melody" into biab thru a keyboard. Once the melody gets in, then I build the rest of the song(instruments) around the "original" melody. Once that's done, I export the whole thing to garageband to final mixing, harmonies/vocals etc. kind of a pain, but if I could get him to play his guitar or the melody right into biab that would save a ton of time. Thanks again,
Roger
