No idea where to look for this, and I've tried the obvious places. In 8.5 the only input midi that was echoed out was the channel and synth associated to a highlighted track. I get that now, but I also get midi channel 1 going to the first synth in my rack no matter what. No idea why. Fortunately the first synth and channel in my rack is a Steinway, else it would be very annoying. What am I missing? If I'm on my Oboe track I just want to hear the Oboe unaccompanied by my Steinway when I play:-) It's all fine during playback. Sonar X2, build 306

No takers? Is anyone else experiencing odd midi functioning in X2? I expect the midi side (hey, Cakewalk 101 (okay version Cakewalk v1.01:-)) to be rock solid.

Your in the wrong forum. 

Wow, never noticed that before. I guess I won't ask why but rather just post there. Thanks! -rich

I'm not sure I understand the question, but if you are playing a MIDI instrument and have multiple synths in the rack, make sure you turn input echo off on the tracks you don't want to respond to the MIDI keyboard.
