Dom (and others who replied): I finally discovered what was causing me to have the unusual problem with Bars & Pipes Pro and my midi setup. You will recall my recent post in which I described my midi setup and the fact that everytime I loaded a new song, I had to replace Triple Play Plus 1 out tool with the TPP 2 out tool, play a few notes, and then return to TPP 1 out tool to get any sound out of my Kurzweil K-2000. Like most bizarre problems, the solution was a simple one. Upon opening the accessories, I discovered that although Triple Play Plus was loaded as an accessory, *none* of the outputs were selected (i.e. in red). Upon selecting the TPP1 box, everything played perfectly. I have no idea how all three TPP boxes got deselected. or why the ritualistic exchange of TPP1 for TPP2 suddenly activated the system and resulted in proper playing of the K-2000, but the solution has been simple, ie.e load the song, open accessories, select TPP1, close, and save. From then on, everytime the song is opened, the K-2000 plays perfectly from the first note. Many thanks to all of you who offered suggestions. Tom

Thanks for listening to my problem. I don't know why I never thought to check in the accessory drawer for the status of the Triple Play Plus accessory. I suppose it's because I have no idea how it ever became totally deselected, i.e. none of the TPP plus outs selected. Somehow this occurred about the same time I purchased the Yamaha P-100 clavinova. In any case, I'm terribly relieve to be free of the "TPP ritual" and thoroughly enjoying Bars & Pipes 2.0. Incidentally, I have downloaded all the tool updates and the Blue Ribbon.library update from your BBS. The 9600 baud rate really helps in downloading. Thanks again for your help.

Tom, Glad to hear everything is up and running. A quick question: Is it possible to put more than one output tool on a pipeline, say any two of the TPP outputs. Howard – via Whap!

I've never tried to put more than one TPP output tool on a single pipeline. I'll give it a try, and let you know the results but I would bet that you can't do it. I'll get back to you when I've had a chance to try this.

Have fun! Adam
