My idea is to play a drum base + couple of melodies using different instruments

So I thought to create following 3 tracks (on same sequence):

1) type "drum]", program "Program 001"
2) type "plugin", program "The bank 001", plugin "THE BANK", preset "19 monopoly"
3) type "plugin", program "The Bank 001", plugin "THE BANK", preset "20 the donk"

Recording of track 1 = ok
Recording of track 2 = ok

but when I try to record track 3, either track 2 use "the donk" instead of "monopoly" (ie same instrument) :shock:

Where I'm doing wrong? :oops:

what worked for me on the REN, record the first two tracks as normal when you get to track 3 and want to use the same plugin again, reselect the plugin and look on the display, it will ask you if you want to create a new program, select that then you can change the sound on the 3rd track.

Yep, its because if you want to use multiple instances of the same plugin in a project you need to allocate them to different programs.

This caught me out on more than one occasion at the start
