Patrick, thank you; I did find the DLL file, added it to the VST path list, deleted the ones that didn’t belong there, scanned, & now it shows when I right-click on a track and select Replace Synth. I’m able to select and hear any of SynthMaster’s sounds in its own browser, but I’m still not seeing how to add 1 of its sounds to a project I’m working on. Once I can figure that out, I’ll be well on my way to recording multiple tracks and then adding some singing to multiple projects. Thanks for the patience; I’m extremely new and “green” at MIDI/tracks/recording/effects, etc., but I’m learning!

I've got SynthMaster Player v2.9 for Windows, but I can't figure out how to get some of the sounds to actually get inserted into Cakewalk. I've tried scanning for VST plugins. I've got the folders SynthMaster is in included in the list, but it doesn't find anything for SynthMaster when I right-click on track and choose Replace Synth. Thanks in advance for a response; I especially love keyboard/piano/organ sounds.

Canopus, thank you very much! I found the manual and did what it said to do to turn Local Off; everything works perfectly now!

Hello; I'm sorry if I don't explain this well, but here goes: I have an Artesia Performer 88 MIDI keyboard that's connected to my Windows 10 laptop via USB. So far, I've only installed the Collab3 VST plugin; I like the "jazz organ"/"baseball game organ" type of sounds. I can record a track using that organ sound, but when I play it on my keyboard, the default sound that plays when the keyboard is powered on (a piano sound) ALSO plays. How do I set everything up so that, on the MIDI keyboard, when I play an instrument, it ONLY plays the instrument I want it to? To explain it another way: If I want to record a track with a "jazz organ" sound, how can I ONLY hear the "jazz organ" sound and NOT the default powered-on sound along with the "jazz organ" sound? I hope that makes some semblance of sense. I'm new at this and am just trying to learn about recording songs like what we sing in my church with multiple instruments and, in the future, my voice for singing them. Thank you in advance.
