Thanks so much for your help, everyone. Apologies for the delay responding also, have been busy the past few days.
The problem was as sharke mentioned - I hadn't set the MIDI channel of track 2 correctly. I've done this & now all is working fine.
It's a bit embarassing, being a long-time Cakewalk user and not being able to figure this out but it's now solved :)
Thanks so much once again.
