Thank you Ken and Lapasoa. Forgive me, but I've never unbound a button in my life - wouldn't know how to. I looked under preferences, Ken, but couldn't find the right sub menu for unbinding buttons. Can you specify the path?
Thanks also to you Brundlefly, but the problem surfaced upon new update at which point I didn't have the synth rack docked anywhere - in fact I couldn't even find the synth rack in the browser section where it used to be, and had to bring it up manually in the views menu.
All my other custom buttons are working: e.g. insert tempo, quantize. It's just the Insert tempo button.
