I thought you said that if you insert the soft synth in the affects bin you can 
edit the parameters in the inspector. Did I understand you correctly? I'm 
asking because I tried that and it didn't work. Maybe it has something to do 
with the soft synth that I inserted.

  it's probably because you didn't assign a midi channel and the volume message 
is   being ignored by the synth.

    Luis:

    I also can't seem to control the volume of the soft synth I'm using. When I 
change the volume of the midi track the synth is on, it doesn't do anything.

      Omar:
      my experience has been that inserting the soft synth in the synth rack or 
with insert will not allow the parameters to be edited in the inspector. when 
you insert it to de fx bin then you can open the audio track's inspector and by 
hitting shift right arrow  you find the effects view then you do a shift down 
arrow  and you can change three fx modes for viewing. one of them displays 4 
parameters that you can edit or reassign to edit different parameters and all 
the changes will all be recalled when you load this project.
      but in the case of inserting the soft synth in the effects bin, i have 
encountered problems when freezing the track.
      to insert the soft synth i do it a little differently,. i open the insert 
from the menu bar, then select audio track, then go to the fx bin and hit 
application key and select soft synth.

      The second answer is that if your soft synth recognizes patch change then 
or if it is multi-timbral then you need to assign the midi channel.
      I hope my explanation was clear.

        Hello:

        I have two questions about soft synth insertions.

        1. What is the difference between inserting a soft synth by going to 
alt I, then inserting it that way, or if you rout jaws to pc on a midi track, 
then insert an audio track, and then insert the soft synth as an effect in the 
effects bin of the audio track?

        2. When I insert a soft synth, do I need to go to the midi track 
assigned to the soft synth and assign it to a midi channel?

        Thanks.

        Omar Binno
