when in cubase......

thts wot i meant, i solo the track tht im messing about with.....but surely you shouldnt have to solo the track your messin about with in order for all your tracks not play at the same time ......its midi tracks also

for example just say tht midi channel 1 is a synth....and ive went into the edit page for this instrument and inputed my notes.....now when i get another synth up on midi channel 2 and im messin about with this synth and playin my synth (midi channel 1) in the background on loop the notes from midi channel 1 then play on the synth on midi channel 2...... sorry if this is confusing.....

as for your first paragraph: Actually, that's exactly what I do. When I want to only hear ONE track (whether it be audio, midi, effect, group, etc.) I solo it in the main composition window.

and your second paragraph: GYEH?!
Let me see if I have your process correct.
- open new midi track and assign a synth(1) to that track on channel 1
- open another midi track and assign a DIFFERENT synth(2) to channel 2
- when your sequence is playing it's playing synth(2) with the input from channel 1?

for argument's sake lets say synth 1 is NI Massive
and synth 2 is FM7

If this is the case make sure that when you setup your midi track for FM7, to select the "midi out" for that synth and not for Massive.

Hope this helps
