Now that I'm using BIAB again, it's obvious I know nothing. The melody is always played on vibes and I can't figure out where to change it. I'll bet it's obvious. But where is it?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. Mouse-click on the instrument in the Mixer then choose 'Select MIDI Instrument' > 'Select General MIDI patch' or choose from a list of Favorite patches:

Sorry to b debse. I did that and it lead me to a long list of instruments. But I still can't figure out how to choose which instrument plays the melody.

Okay. The style is _SJAZZC2.STY. The mixer has green bass, piano and drums, and they all seem to be playing correctly. The melody is being played on vibes. Vibes in the mixer is yellow. I tried switching it to sax, with real tracks, ksax was green) but BIAB generated a sax solo that covered up my melody, so I backed that out.

Yellow instrument names means the instrument is a virtual instrument that is playing the data from a midi pattern. RealTracks are audio compositions that ignore whatever preexisting midi data is on a track.
A midi saxophone instrument will play the solo you've written.
Open preferences, Ctrl+E, and select the MIDI Driver button. The pop-up window will display what you have selected for midi instrument playback.

Ahh! Thank you! BTW. When I did what you said, I got a message to disable "use DXi synth" setting if you want to use MIDI driver for all output. I don't know what DXi synth is or where to change it, so I ignored it.
Thanks again, Jim Fogle.

DXI is a Microsoft plugin standard similar to Steinburg's VST plugin standard. The difference is the DXI standard never became as successful as the VST standard. Reaper, Cakewalk by Bandlab and Band-in-a-Box are the only programs I know of that accept DXI plugins.
The TTS-1 soft synth I use for midi playback is a DXI plugin.
