in RealBand, the contents of one track can be assigned to different midi channels, so that when I save the file as midi, this track gets splitted into two tracks. But if I don't want splitted tracks then, how can I merge those different midi channels into one, in RealBand? I've tried different things, but none of them works.

I didn't toggle that by myself. It just happens somehow through copying from one midi file into another:
Midi-File A has a Riff (Tracks: Piano, Bass, Drums) Midi-File B has a Riff (Tracks: Piano, Bass, Drums) I copy the Riff of Midi-File A to the end of Midi-File B. Midi-File B has then still 3 Tracks (Paino, Bass, Drums), but now plays both riffs (is longer than before). I store this file as Midi, but when I open that Midi then, it has 2 bass tracks.
Both original midi files had different channels for the bass, that much I've already found out.
Even changing the channels already in the original A-File to the channel of the B-File doesn't make any difference, unfortunately.

no, that doesn't make a difference. RealBand still makes two tracks out of my bass.

So for all ppl that might also encounter this problem some time later:
1. In Tracks-View left-click on the according track 2. Press CTRL+A to highlight the whole track 3. In the menu choose "Edit" - "Midi" - "Channel New" 4. Put in the same number as "New Lowest Channel" and as "New Highest Channel" 5. Click "OK"
(Command names translated from the German Version, so the names of the Englisch Version might be slightly different than written above)
@ Bob & rharv: Thanks for trying to help!

glad you worked it out........maybe if you had cut and pasted each instrument separately using the data filter, but it seems your solution is a quick and easy fix. well done
Yeah, however I don't understand what rightclick-toggeling the midi channel in the head of the track line does then. Seems to me that it does nothing, except for changing just the displayed number.

Ah ok. So maybe it would make sense to swop the functionality of both commands, according to what most people most probably need more often.
