You can assiign different instruments to each 1 of the 16 channels and listen, or play, or record, each individual QT instrument. Go to the Environment, choose the MIDI Instr Layer. You should have a Multi track instrument set to your MIDI ports with your MIDI keyboards or controller. Now create a Quick Time instrument (New>Internal>Apple Quick Time) Now cable the multi track MIDI instrumet to this new Quick Time instrument. That's it. Each of the MIDI tracks at the arrange window will play (and record) the correspondent MIDI channel program (timbre) of the QT instrument. Regards, Gordon
