Like everything that is good to learn there is a curve. What you are trying to do is easy enough done, but I'm not at that computer and really don't normally sort out other people's problems, I've enough of my own.

Not that I haven't figured out the basics but I bought an AKAI EWI6000s and wow, a new learning curve. I keep making stupid mistakes, blaming the gear, when it's just me. I couldn't change patches for 5 hours, turned out I had a finger on a button. The it wouldn't transpose to C. Then I made fingering errors that I should have caught but took 3 hours to sort out. The I can't get the concept of open closed and making trumpet fingering work, and then tried to learn woodwind fingering, gave up after 2 days and am back at learning modified trumpet fingering. Problem is I know trumpet fingering and this is just wrong past C when it's right but not.

So in the end if you get really stuck simplify your question in a new post, and perhaps someone will jump in. Then there is live help. Or the 1 800 troll free number. For me the best thing is to learn it myself, figure out a work around, and then grow from there. Or sleep on it, the last 2 biggies were eureaka moments at 3 a.m.
