Not all soft synths are responsive to patch changes from within the properties dialog. Your two soft synths could be exampels of this situation.

I have a small query of my own. Problem: On some soft synths using the Bank / Patch controls in the Track View does not appear to have any affect on the soft synth. No matter how I change the Bank & Patch it is always the same sound. I do check to make sure that there is a different Bank Number or Patch Name in the various fields but still the sound does not change. Could it be that I have missed a Midi setting somewhere in the Midi Options Dialog Boxes? Not really sure what to do... The two soft synths in question at the moment are Absynth 3 and LiveSynth the Sound Font player. Thanx all....:) David P Shortland Fun First Productions www.funfirst.com.au Ph: 61 7 5495 2265 ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** ddots-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
