X1c crosstalk issue

Hi there,
I don't think this is the standard crosstalk bug that's been discussed elsewhere in the forum. Here's my problem:

I inserted a softsynth and recorded a track. Midi ins and outs were applied to the appropriate settings. I then inserted another softsynth. Midi ins and outs automatically went to their correct settings. When I play the second softsynth, it also triggers the first synth at the same time.

This was covered in another post, and solved when the user switched to a different external midi box. Problem is, I'm not using a midi box. I'm using a Keyrig49 USB right into the computer.  I came to record a little bit tonight and have instead spent the better part of two hours flipping the same parameters back and forth hoping something would just fix this. I haven't been so lucky. Please drop me a line if you've got any hints. Many thanks,
Bill

Hi John and thanks for the quick response. The input on the tracks were both 'Keyrig>>omni'. I switched the first track from 'Keyrig' to 'none' and it fixed the problem. Does this mean that I have to switch the finished track's input setting every time I'm done recording on that track? And then put it back when I want to record again? That would fix the problem but I still think I must be missing something (i.e. there must be a more efficient way?) Regards,
Bill

Try turning off the MIDI echo button on the track you don't want to hear outputting.

FBB's got it right in post #5. What's received is not important in this case; what matters is what's being echoed to where.

By default, SONAR has Always Echo Current MIDI Track enabled in Preferences > MIDI Playback and Recording. This ensures that the track (MIDI or Simple Instrument) that has focus will echo incoming MIDI to its assigned synth. Using this setting, you should only ever be able to hear one synth at a time, unless you click the Input Echo button of another track to force it on.
