I followed the instructions found in the supported softsynths tutorial and get to the point where I presse the desired letter and when I press the letter I get the message to play press p, to stop press s, to loop press l, but when I press p nothing happens. Any ideas? No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.5.484 / Virus Database: 269.12.4/969 - Release Date: 8/23/2007 4:04 PM
