I know that when I load a MIDI file in to the Pa5X, I can access all 16 MIDI channels in the mixer in two menus, 1-8 and 9-16. But when playing from Cakewalk (external sequencer), I don't get access to the 16 channel mixer.

If I load a MIDI file in the Pa5X, I can see all 16 channels, but I notice that as I play out from Cakewalk, notes get stuck and the accumulated stuck notes increases over time. It seems to have something to do with the Mute and Solo buttons on the Pa5X mixer. Also, if I solo one track, I still hear multiple other tracks playing.

It is necessary to have such a preset selected in the MIDI preset in Pa5X where there will be PLY1-16 on both MIDI IN and MIDI OUT
Put a SYSEX data filter on the filter for the beginning on the MIDI IN, it should help with the kicking of the sounds.

By the way, I also face more or less the same issue.
In my case when I start an Midifile in player 1 it is just muting the lover channel on the selected keyboard set. And when I stop it , it is un muting it.
This is not on all my Midifiles, but just on couple of it?

Hi,
for my opinion there is one issue with the midi channel display paging of the Pa5X mixer. It is working fine when used from style play or internal midi file play mode (song mode).
In style play mode the selectable mixer pages display the manual upper and lower tracks, the pads and the accompaniment tracks but no the midi channels coming from external.
To display midi data coming from external it is necessary to switch to the song
mode but this can only be done by loading a midi file into the Pa5X.
Then all external midi track data is visualized on mixer pages if the midi setup is correct.

Regards,
Martin
