I have a problem I cannot figure out. If I change the instrumentation I cannot save it. For example if I go to the Bass and change from Finger Electric Bass to Acoustic String Bass it will play that way for the remainder of th esong. If I stop it and restart the song it defaults back to Finger Electric Bass. Even if I save the song it will default back.
I have tried all the instruments. With strings I want to change it to Orchestral Strings from organ and it will not save. It always defaults back.
Please tell me how to save the new configuration. I am at wits end with this.

Ron,

Alt+F2 will take you to "File/Save with Patches and Harmony" dialog box. You can save your patches and also save any instrument channels you turn off.

Another tip that's helpful if you're trying patches out or editing an instruments part that has been generated: if you start the song with the "+" sign it won't generate new parts. You can pause it, too, and restart with the "+" sign. (I'm not at that machine now so I can't remember exactly how to pause it).

I often rework the individual parts, then render a wave file for use in recording and practicing using the changes I made.
