Ah, OK, that's there until replaced with an instrument icon.

They appear to be fixed settings; if they're automatable I have yet to find how.

That was one of my reasons for liking the 'E' icon option. I was already aware of embedded, because I'd have volume changes overriding my own settings. BiaB has exactly the same, of course.

What stopped me originally was learning from a friend, when I moaned, that "You don't have to use RealBand to get RealTracks; the naming misleads" and that BiaB was already a new and strange environment to which I didn't also want to add a new DAW. That's just all too much for a proper focus.
