Here's what I tried: I started with a stock factory autoload, configured the MIDI ports, and set the first three tracks to play as something distinctive. First observation: I'm on track 3 having just changed the program to set up the above. Whack at my keyboard, and I hear nothing. I see notes on the transport that are supposed to be going out, but they aren't going anywhere audible. Click on track 1. Whack at keyboard. I hear the correct sound. Click on track 2. Whack at keyboard. I hear the correct sound eventually. Click on track 3. Whack at keyboard. I hear the correct sound eventually. Click on random tracks from 4 onward. No sound on any of them. When changing tracks, there seems to be a definite bias toward track/instrument 1. Often I will hear the track 1 sound for a note or two before the correct sound emerges. I tried every combination of percussion/no percussion, program/no program, fixed/auto and everything else I could click on or toggle, and I never succeeded in playing drums with the keyboard while on track 10. I did manage to get a piano to come out at one point, but never drums. I even tried loading the correct .rgd file for the actual hardware I'm using, and changing drum kits. No effect from any of it. Other than percussion, it seems the way to "wake up" silent tracks is to go change the program. If you change the program, it won't start playing immediately, but if you change the program, change to a different track, then come back to this one, it eventually works. Or it did until I got it all hung up in stupid mode. Now no matter what track I'm sitting on, all I hear is one extremely short crack of sound (some tiny fraction of a second) and then silence ensues. This is progress, but it appears that it's all still rather broken. -- D.
