In my signature is a link to my tutorials and I have a whole series on using midi files. 

Thank you. I have watched thru all aof your videos. If anyone is curious, here is a rundown to solve my particular Problem:

Create a new Master Audio Bus

Delete all Events that are not Notes

And then create a new synth and channel the Output to the desired MIDI Instrument

Sorry for the mayman terminology. Thank you all for your answers. I learned a lot since yesterday and I am incredibly grateful.

Welcome to the forum.

I have found that some synths want the patch to be selected in the track pane, and others will play the patch chosen in the synth's patch browser. TTS-1 likes the patch in the track pane.

You can change the output of your MIDI track to your preferred synth; no need to drag the data.

Thank you for your reply. I know it now (also thanks to User 905133) but it does not solve the problem. I can even assign the correct patch and it still plays the wrong patch. I think there might be problems with the file itself. I have since rewritten it and exported it with different programs but I had no success.

Hello everyone,

I am an absoluet beginner who has never mixed anything in his life. But I like to compose and I write small songs in GuitarPro and TuxGuitar. I recently decided that they all should have proper sound so I got myself some VSTs and Cakewalk.

My plan is to import MIDI files and assign new Instruments to the tracks (similar to what I would do in GP). But I am having some trouble. specifically when I open or import the file attached it opens as two MIDI Tracks and a TTS1 Track, I guess. I have imported all my VSTs successfully. For this one I want to assign this little melody a self-programmed patch from my Wavestation VST. This is my process:

I insert a new Soft Synth, choose my trusty Wavestation and I copy everything from the second MIDI track to the Wavestation's Track. and then delete everything but that track.

Now here comes the problem: When open the VST and try to change anything, it's all reset once I press play to listen to it. Even when I assign the TTS-1 as a Soft Synth. No mattter what I change it's all undone once I press play. I am extremely frustrated and I need your help.

Please keep in mind that I am an absolute bloody beginner with no music background.  Thank you in advance for your help, I assure you it is very appreciated!
