Well, in the case of tts1, that is a multitimbral synth. You can just assign other midi tracks to the port that is created when you insert the tts1 and set it to another channel.

I thought you had to have a separate inserted DXI track for each instrument anyway? (Now I KNOW I'm missing something!)

Should I assign different channels for each individual track? If so, why is this? It's been working with everything using channel 1, but I could be missing something ... Stephanie Pieck
