Muso:

OK tried all your suggestions and am making progress.
I first tried leaving the TTS-1 as output. If I try to set the MIDI Output it tells me I have the VSTI selected anyway, so I assume that would make no difference.

I DID try going to the Coyote synth as the output and that worked. Hurray!

I guess I can use that for recording from the qwerty kbd, then I'll go back to TTS-1 as I like the sounds better there.

Continuing, and regarding your note to Matt re: doing a Return to Factory Settings: since I did that, my Mixer window no longer shows all the tracks, only the "Melody" track. Should I start another thread?

Thanks for all your help!
