Peter, check to be sure that your MIDI track is assigned to a specific MIDI channel. Press ENTER twice quickly and tab through that dialog to find the MIDI channel setting. You can also try selecting a different bank and patch in that dialog.

I have done all the things that you told me to do, but I still get more audio tracks than I need and the synth paches don't change in the track properties dialog of the one midi track that I do have. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Muir" <philmuir1@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 9:07 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: problem with sonar 4 > Hi Neville!! > > Sonar is working as advertised.
