Can't change VST instrument assigned to midi track?

I have what might be the same or a similar problem as the OP, but not having anything to do with importing MIDI - I create a 2nd or 3rd MIDI track, make a patch assignment to my Motif that is different from the first MIDI track, and then somehow when I get to play it, the patch assignment magically changes to the one the original track has.

Like I mentioned above, I can usually fix it by some combination of repeatedly reassigning the Motif patch, changing the MIDI channel, or throwing shoes at the screen.

Thanks for the above hints - I will look under preferences, maybe there is one that duplicates some features of the existing MIDI track onto the newly created one that causes that. I don’t know, it’s always been one of those things in Cubase that I have to take a deep breath and count to ten about.


Do you guys have any further thoughts?

Thanks -
