I appreciate the feedback Thunderthud. I reread your initial post and noticed I read it incorrectly. As you can tell by my first post I thought you meant the initial mixer volume levels are wrong when loading a midi file. I now understand you mean after starting a blank composition. No answer for that one.

Could you please elaborate on two things you said: ‘faders don’t move’ and ‘levels jump around’.
Answering Matt may clarify what is the best response.
