1) Might be the "Route MIDI Thru to...) checkbox in the MIDi Output selection window. With that UNchecked, the keyboard should route to the DXi synth. Some p;eople report that they have to hit the Play button once before the thing works. But then it lasts for the whole session.

2) The MIDI Strings *should* mute at the marked bar, of course. Try the Return to Factory Settings first, which often corrects things like this. It might also be that you've found a new bug, don't know but will try to find time to check it out at this end this evening.

3) Recorded Audio out of sync with BB is usually the result of the Latency settihg with MME sound drivers needing some tweaking ih one direction or the other. This is a matter of experimentation, trial and error until you find the magic number of milliSeconds that works with your particular machine.
