Dom, You're right, I screwed up in describing my rather complicated connection setup. Let's try again. Triple Play Plus' Midi 1 out runs to the Yamaha Clavinova midi in. Clavinova Midi out runs to Kurzweil Midi in. Kurzweil Midi Thru runs to Sound Canvas Midi 2 in. Triple Play Plus Midi Out 2 runs to Sound Canvas Midi 1 IN. Triple Play Plus Midi IN runs to Sound Canvas Midi Thru. To play the Kurzweil from the Bars & Pipes 2.0 sequencer, I select TPP Midi 1 out tool and install it on the right side of the pipeline. I turn the Roland on but mute all channels so that I do not hear the Roland voices. When I click on play in B&P, I hear nothing and the midi activity light on the Kurzweil shows no midi getting to the Kurzweil. I then load TPP Midi out 2 tool over any one of the TPP Midi 1 out tools, select play, and I hear sound and see midi activity on the Kurzweil. I then replace the TPP Midi 2 tool with the correct TPP Midi 1 tool, and *all* tracks play fine. Unless I do this exchange of TPP 2 for TPP 1 in at least one track, I will never hear any track upon selecting play. As soon as I do the exchange, play a second or two, then place TPP 1 midi out back in the pipeline, all is well and remains well until I select a new song. Everytime I select a new song, I have to go through the above ritual. I'm sorry I gave you the wrong setup initially, and I hope you will be able to offer some suggestions or refer my problem to the folks at Blue Ribbon. Thanks very much. Tom
