Hi. Just started using a Micro Express while compacting the rig from a much larger setup. It seems a bit confusing and I hope you can help. Here's the setup.

Roland XV-88 on Port 2
Kurzweil K2500 Port 3
Korg N1r Port 4
E-Mu Vintage Keys Port 5

and the Micro is attached to the PC via a USB cable. Here's my issue: I'm trying just to get a simple MIDI file to play from Sonar X1 Essential, using the GM banks on the Roland and the Korg. I can't seem to get both to play the file. It's either/or. I can get the XV-88 to play fine, but no Korg, or if I screw around with the ports in Sonar, I can get the Roland to play. It's obvious that the Micro is talking to both synths - because they will play individually - both they won't play together. I've tried it with several files on the PC, every configuration I can think of, but nothing. Can anyone offer any help? I've never used a MOTU product before: I either had an MX-8 Digital Patchbay, or when the rig got large, a JL Cooper Synapse. The program was easier, because I knew them inside out. This one has me stumped. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks,

..Joe
