Cable each one of these to a instrument track and you're done. The performance presets work on a strip by strip level. ALL the strips share the same available 127 preset positions but there's no reason that one player was playing preset 73 on his strip while the other two were playing different presets on theirs. You will need a decently powerful computer to cope with 3 players going nuts on 3 different instruments at the same time and I would check what happens when one or two were playing and the third changes it's preset. There may be a short dropout??? Good luck. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Paul Najar Jaminajar Music Production www.jaminajar.com
