pfff, now I understand it a bit more, in Fruityloops its not possible to have multiple loops with different bar sizes in one track! hmmmm, so I have tp I record a melody with my MIDI keyboard in a track, then i should record for example a bassline in another track. Then I can access the tracks in the playlist I was used to link some MIDI controller faders under the volume of different instruments, to make a composition. So now i am going to record multiple tracks, how can I link those track (volume, on/off etc) under a link controller so that I can make compositions while jamming? I prefer not to make a playlist with the mouse, selecting block, you know what I mean. Should I just play all the tracks the same time, by putting all blocks in the playlist, then turn on/off intruments in the underlying track? must go now, dinner is ready, bye, Bart
