Proteus giving the hump!!!!

Morning all or good night if you live somewhere else..
For those guys familiar with Proteus can you tell me why after I've succesfully banked my sounds into 16 channels when playing a chosen track I hear other unwanted tracks at the same time. There's not a problem with play back..all tracks sound as they should..Its only when recording I hear other unwanted tracks.
Any help most welcome
Thanks
Alan

I'm not all that familiar with Proteus...but I would assume that it works similar to other synths in that it requires a midi source...either live or tracked. Just like in TTS, if you don't have the tracks & channels assigned properly, you will get that same thing going on....

Be sure ... after tracking a source track is finished that you go back to track properties and select NONE as the input source. This stops...or should stop any miscellaneous midi that happens to be floating around...for what ever reason...from being used by that specific track to cause confusion.

Also check the midi source track outputs as well to be sure they are all going where they are supposed to be and that 2 different tracks are not going to the same synth channel.

As soon as I finish with a midi track I always shut off the inputs source by selecting NONE.

Alan. See post #109 in the Proteus thread.
It may be somewhat confusing at this point, but shows how the input channels affect what you are doing.
If you select NONE in the track properties, it is the same as Omni. What it means is that None of the channels in particular has been selected, so recieve data from any channel.

If you select NONE in the track properties, it is the same as Omni.

Robertb...are you sure about this...I was refering to the input in the midi track view... when I select none... that's what I get...nothing. I have to select omni or a specific channel to be able to hear midi input from my 27S.

I always shut the inputs off in this manner to keep from hearing the other midi tracks playing their respective patches while I'm working on a specific track.... and it seems to work for me in this manner.

If anyone knows how I can get Proteus to load with the presets after bringing it in to MC4 I would be interested to hear.
I used to be able to find it in the FILE MENU but its no longer in there.

Thanks

Thanks Greg, Been there tried that. Its all a bit too heavy for me at this stage.
What I need and am looking for is a really good drum kit font. When I get one I'll have to go through the learning curve of down loading and setting up in MC4

Well, this is interesting, Herb.
When you initially insert a soft synth, the input reads Omni, but the dropdown menu shows None checked.
I can hit keys, and the synth(TTS-1 in this case) plays but it defaults to the first part (channel 1).
Now here's where it get's fun. Once channels have been selected for various parts, I can select None from the dropdown menu. The track Input reads Omni, but it does indeed block the signal. Perhaps, once paths are established, None really does mean None.
Since that method seems to work, I see no reason to change your approach.
Personally, I have gotten into the habit of assigning a different channel to the input of each MIDI track as I create them. This way, I can have several synths or patches within a given synth active, and play only the one recieving on the channel my controller is set to.
This allows you to quickly jump from one to another as you build the project.
Bottom line, if a particular approach works for you, run with it.

I noticed lately that whenever I select omni, if I got back it changes it to channel 1. Are they the same? Or should I continue changing it back to omni? Gets a little annoying after a few times. You lost me on the last part of your post though. It will make sense one day. lol
