So, I've been mucking around with Playable Real Tracks to get more of the bassline that I'd like, and it dawns on me that there may be an easier way. With Utility Tracks available, wouldn't it be easier to write the MIDI part in a Utility Track, set to the Hi-Q MIDI sound and then mute the Real Track in the appropriate places using Bar Settings? Working with Playable Real Tracks, I keep finding myself having to remember to set areas as Playable Tracks, move the notes around to where I want them, set the "Create Mute Region to mute general accompaniment", etc. It seems like I could even use Finale to notate the notes and rhythms that I want, export to a .mid file, and use that.

That said, what is the easiest way to confirm the Hi-Q MIDI patch for a particular Real Track?
