BlankI'm using the steinberg hypersonic 2. I did select a midi channel for the first track that was inserted with the synth, and also selected banks and patches.

When you want to change patches on the synth for example, you for some of them have to select a channel. For some, you can't have 2 or more tracks using the synth as the same output, because they are not multi timberal. What soft synth are you using? What if you try this, the midi track that has the data you want to play out of that synth, copy and paste it to the midi track of the synth and see... That might work...

I'm also using the motif xs on other tracks, but when you insert a softsynth, doesn't it have its own midi channels? Also, I did try changing the midi channel on the track and it didnt do anything.

I inserted a softsynth into a sonar file. When I play the synth from the midi track that was originally inserted with it, it plays fine. However, when I try and change the output of another midi track to that softsynth, I get no sound. Omar Binno www.omarbinno.com
