I'm trying to get a multi instrument (RA) to play several instances from the same plug in, using LP7.1 on a mac Dual 1.8. I've created a multi instrument in the environment & enabled all 16 channels, cabled it to the RA audio instrument, opened several sample patches in RA, assigned them to midi channels 1,2,3,4. In Arrange, I have called up 4 instances of 'audio instrument 3' (the RA instrument), then I can only get TWO different midi channels on that instrument - thereafter anything I change in one track of audio instrument 3, 3 other tracks also change to the same midi channel too. The 1st instance, however, stays where I put it. Is this a bug? steve rose

Then, on the arrange page, call up as tracks the individual midi channels of the Multi Instrument. Each Multi Instrument channel will then correspond to channels 1-8 in RA (RA only has 8 channels of multi, right?). If you haven't named your Multi it will be called "(Multi Instr.)", if you name it "RA Channel" they will conveniently come up on the arrange page as RA Channel 1, RA Channel 2, etc... This is easier done than said... Timo
