Okay, I'm back. I've had a hectic week with the move and all, and we're still unpacking and trying to settle in. I have everything set up so far, and BIAB seems to be working pretty well. I'm still having an issue with playback of recorded MIDI tracks, however.

I have a Higher Patch File which I use for my Korg PA800, and I'm having issues selecting the proper patches from it for playback. Same song as above. I have Bass, Piano, Drums, Guitar 1 and Guitar 2, 'Silence' and Sax. The 'Silence' are the brass parts for the E/F section of the BOMDIA+ style I'm using. So, to record MIDI tracks I'm using the Utility 2 track.

(One thing I would really like to see in the next version, and it should be a really easy lift, is anywhere that offers MIDI Patches, instead of just the standard GM patch list, if you are using a .pat file, the option to select that file. In fact, Peter, since some of us do use .pat files, and usually only one of them, it would be nice to be able to select a specific .pat file and make it the default for the entire program, so if a dialog opens up and you need a patch, if you've selected a default .pat file, it loads that one instead of the standard GM list.)

Anyway, even if I select a patch off of the .pat list, it still defaults to whatever sounds. I've changed all the track channels, so 1 is melody, bass is 9, etc. I don't know how to get the song to play the instrument I want. Also, in this song, the first 54 bars I want one instrument, the middle bars are the soloist, and the next 50-some bars I want a different instrument, and I'd like to be able to go in a select the instrument from a .pat file, and get it to stick!

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
