MIDI Channels setup in preferences for legacy tracks seem to interfere when using the Utility Tracks for MIDI.
Even with no "ctrl 7 volume events" on the Utility MIDI tracks and Legacy Tracks...
The channels assigned in preferences, appear to interfere with the 16 Utility Tracks,
causing levels not to hold. (e.g.- When you hit play, the levels shift).
To get around this, I've been setting up a separate synth on a blank track (usually solo).
Then using "Re-route MIDI Plugin" for each Utility Track to that track,
acting as the "utility synth master", to get around this issue.
(Have to manually set each track to a channel also).
Maybe the addition in the future, of a dedicated "Master Utility-Track Synthesizer" channel/fader would prevent this?
Been dealing with this issue since Utility Tracks first made their appearance.
Hope this make some sense to someone and that they've found a better workaround for this issue.
Thanks.

Hi Thunderthud,
I would just use a different instance of your MIDI plugin for the Utility track.
By default, all tracks will use the "default synth", typically the Coyote. First, you could use a unique MIDI channel for your Utility track by right-clicking on the track name | Track Settings | MIDI Channel. If you use a MIDI channel that isn't already being used then you would be okay (for example, don't select channel 3, because that is the default Piano track channel).
However, even better, click on the Plugins tab of the mixer, click where it says [default synth...], and specifically select Coyote WT from the Choose Plugin dialog. Now you'll be using a different instance of the Coyote WT plugin and it won't matter if you happen to use channel 3. I would recommend that you still select a MIDI channel as described above, since the MIDI notes might not be on the channel you expect, or there might be multiple channels - depending on where the MIDI part came from.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
