Hello, Nicole, When I set up each track, I filled in all the appropriate items. That includes bank, the instrument (taken from an instrument list). I set pan and volume as needed in order to get the sound balance I wanted.
It all works well when playing my sequence via QWS. It does not produce anything like the correct instruments when I transfer this sequence to a synth equipped with a MIDI player. I can't remember but much about this, but years ago when I had a different sequencer, I had to enter all those valuep at the start of each track. I can figure what to enter, but do not know how to do that in QWS. I hope my explanation makes more sense now. Thank you, Nicole and others, for your ideas.
