If I tick in "use VSTi/DXi synt" as ON, then the sound comes back o the Melody track and it stays on during looping.
(all the rest of the tracks have sound all the time).

Thanks, will check on that next time on computer.

Thanks for the info. Just thought I could remove the melody instrument and save as song.

Below is how I created the mgx file.

Rather than doing this, open the grey box and move the melody channel 4 to the Soloist Track and save. This separates and isolates the melody so it can be turned on and off as you build your track and the song can be exported with or without the melody included. This places the melody on its own track and as noted in the screenshot, user also has the option to leave the isolated melody on the BIAB Mixer Melody Track and move all the other channels to the mixer Soloist Track.

Regarding multiple choruses issue:
I downloaded and opened the original file and it opens with 1 Chorus as midi files normally do. If the OP changes the default 1 Chorus to multiple choruses or reverts from multiple choruses to 1 chorus, the user is prompted to select to adjust the Melody Track changing to the selected number of choruses or not to change to the change of choruses. .

The choice to either adjust the Melody Track or not to, affects how the multiple choruses play.

Think you are correct Noel .... my style was disabled ... as when I loaded that same style today it asked me to enable and it's playing fine today.

Thank you !

Mario might be onto something here though - depending on whether the song is set to loop or the chorus is repeated can make a difference. Looping the song should be identical each time around (provided the song hasn't been changed or closed and re-opened with the tracks unfrozen), where multiple choruses intentionally make each playthrough different, which is in part what Noel is talking about.

Can you check which of the loop options Mario mentioned is enabled?

*edit* For some reason the other replies hadn't loaded on my end, so I didn't realize this had been resolved. Glad you're up and running!
