Hey, Brian! Do you do this when a RGSynth is set to single inst track? So If I'm in sonar and say openA Letter to my special friend, and a clap is using RGSynth, do I go to effects bin on that "Clap" track and do this?

If you've changed the channel setting in the track properties dialog to something other than "none", then you should see items in the bank and patch combo boxes. Be aware that every patch location isn't used. In the first bank, for example, there are lots of empty patch locations. You might only notice the sound change every 4 or 5 presses of down arrow. Here is an example of how a little mixing tweak can make a big difference. Scroll to the end of the list of banks, and you'll find the drum bank. They'll sound like cheesy electronic drums. However, try putting them through a lot of compression or limiting. For instance, put the Sonitus compressor in the effects bin, select the full reset preset, and crank the gain up to 20DB. I like how the heavy limiting makes those drums sound. Next, if you have producer, put the Transient Shaper in the track's effects bin. Compressors don't just squash dynamics. They also can affect the sustain time of sounds, stress or reduce the percussive part at the beginning of sounds (attack transients), and shape the tambor of sounds. The process for making that happen with a compressor isn't straight forward unless you really understand how compressors work. However, the Transient Shaper is like compressor for newbies. You adjust some simple values, and, behind the scenes, the plug in works out the compressor settings for you. Try to make the drum sounds sustain longer. On a real compressor, you'd need a low threshold, high ratio, and would need to lower the threshold and raise the ratio while extending out the release time in order to add sustain, but Transient Shaper does it with one knob. If compression confuses you, try the Transient Shaper. It lets you do a lot without knowing hardly anything about what you're doing. *smile* Bryan Bryan On Jul 7, 2011, at 5:31 PM, Shawn Brock wrote:Yeah, that's what I do. I'm not having this problem with any other soft synths.

Once you're on the midi track of the softsynth, open the track properties, and right before the bank field there's the midi channel field. scroll down with the down arrow and use any of the 16 midi channels. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shawn Brock"<shawn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To:<ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2011 5:24 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Roland Groove SynthHi Omer, To tell you the truth, I have only tried inserting the Roland through a simple instrument track.

I know I had this problem once before, but can't remember how to resolve it because I haven't used RSG for a while. When I lode the synth its stuck on one patch, and changing the bank or patch don't make a difference. Its still stuck on this one annoying and useless patch!
