Is it 'normal' behaviour to be unable to quickgroup a selection of simple instrument tracks in track view and change all their bus outputs at once?

Nope.

I've just done it with 3 SIT's - a Dim Pro, a Rapture, and True Pianos

Works in console View and Track View

Yeah! Double Platypus!!!!

when I import midi tracks from Sibelius, quickgroup will not work to change their outputs.  Its a bug that got introduced in X1 and remains in X2.  A little surprised only a couple of us complained about it.

I don't want to really ask this, but you are all using the ctrl key to first select your tracks, and KEEPING it pressed to adjust your parameters?

No this is a bug. CW has confirmed it. The workaround is save the project and open it up again and it should work. 

Ah. I didn't know that John.

Saves me wracking my brains further.

Because the title is not about MIDI projects or opening a MIDI file and using ctrl quick groups to change the output I am not saying that a simple instrument track has this bug. I am saying that MIDI tracks when first imported or opened in a new project will not respond to quick groups and that is the bug. After a save and a reopen of the project they will. I no nothing about simple instrument tracks. I don't use them. 

It must be getting late here, I'm misreading what people are posting.

I was trying to make it as clear as I could that I was not talking about simple instrument tracks. By doing that I probably made a confused situation more confused. My contribution is about MIDI files loaded into Sonar only. What sort of track they may occupy is not a part of my post. 

In the past one could select all and change the MIDI out for all MIDI tracks. You can't do that any more and quick groups are supposed to handle this function. The problem is they don't when you first load up a MIDI file without saving and turning the project in a cwp file and reloading it.

I have nothing to say about simple instruments track at all.  

Flat out refuses to work for me in track view.
