This was embarrassingly simple. I have had a problem for a long time where sometimes when I played a backing track in BIAB, the patch in BIAB would switch to a patch set up in the Options/Preferences/Channels. No matter what you changed it to in this setting it always reverted back to something (usually awful, like a de-tuned guitar or chipmunk voice). I have finally figured out (ironically whilst trying to change it in the style maker) that the solution is very simple. You merely select the correct midi patch in the soloist or melody track on the mixer and it populates the channels menu. Then there is no need to actually set up the patch in the soloist or melody channel. Too easy! You would still set up your cc commands in the actual step edit option of the soloist or midi menu.

I realise this is of no interest to anyone unless they are trying to drive external midi gear using midi! grin
