John and Rharv,

Thanks for the replies.

I right clicked on the track and tried to choose a port. Then I noticed a command Specific VST for Midi Track. I clicked that and it allowed me to choose the one I wanted. It automatically assigned it to Port 17.

I hope you don't think I don't try to use the instructions. I tried the Search and Index tabs; neither told me about this command.

Re trying to set the drum plug-in as my default, I wasn't. I have used this drum plug-in the same way many times before: Click on FX, choose the plug-in for that track. It always worked. Today, RB set the drum plug-in as the default. I couldn't prevent it.

Thanks for your help.
