Howard, I'd like to think that my system is set up in no more complicated a fashion than it needs to be. The Clavinova is a fine 88-key keyboard controller with weighted key action. As such I want to be able to use it to (1) Play the Kurzweil only; (2) Play the Sound Canvas only; (3) Play both the Sound Canvas and Kurzweil simultaneously with different channels being played by the Kurzweil and Sound Canvas; (4) Use the Bars & Pipes Pro sequencer to play either the Sound Canvas or the Kurzweil or both by assignment of tracks to TPP1 and TPP2 out tools. Yes the Clavinova does echo midi in to midi out using a midi merge feature. I believe the problem is somehow related to triple play plus since exchanging the TPP1 and TPP2 midi out tools seems to clear some midi clog in the line and allow the Kurzweil to receive midi. Look, it's not my intention to set up an unnecessarily complicated midi system. If you can suggest a connection sequence that will allow me to do the things I've listed above, I'll change in a minute! Tom
