I used to use simple instrument tracks exclusively and mostly still do, I also used to uncheck "ask this every time" when inserting a synth to be quicker, but for the problem in OP, what's happening is some synths like kontakt, dimension pro, default to enable midi out, which in turn causes this problem, so I now leave the box checked to say ask this every time, and right then and there when I insert a synth, I can see if in fact a synth is enabling midi out. of coarse just uncheck it if you don't need it for special occasion chaining midi to arps or chord players etc, I usually never do so I always uncheck enable midi out. you can do this after the fact as well by right clicking on the offending synth in the synth rack view and disable midi out.
