[90% SOLVED] Media Browser is seriously broken

[PopStarWannabe]

I am trying to play MIDI files from the media browser through Session Drummer 3 (SD3 is version 1.0.0.306 purchased with Sonar X2 Producer - but I think that's by no means the problem).

So I open a new project > insert one synth (in this particular case Z3TA 2) > AFTER THAT I insert Session Drummer 3 > I open Media Browser and navigate to the folders with content from SD3.

At this point I notice that the options to select the synth to preview MIDI files through and the bus to preview .wav, . rx2, etc files through are not present any more (they existed in CbB).

Nevertheless I proceed and click on a MIDI file and this is played through Z3TA 2!!! That is the synth I first inserted into the new project. So I surmise Media Browser uses the firstly inserted synth to play MIDI files through.

Then I changed the tempo and clicked another MIDI file from the Media Browser. Nothing! No sound!

Then I got up from the PC and walked about in the room and about 2 or 3 minutes later sounds came unexpectedly from the speakers. It was the MIDI file from the Media Browser at the new tempo (obviously NOT through SD3, but through Z3TA again). 

I now noticed that it played incessantly although Loop Preview option was NOT checked. So it ignores this, too.

I had to click Reset MIDI and Audio button for it to stop - nothing else worked.

I then reverted to the previous tempo and I clicked another MIDI file from the Browser and it played well, but still through Z3TA and still looped - although the option was not selected.

This is a mess.

Please fix this asap!

This moved to the Project menu.

Thank you for this! I wasn't aware.

However, the other issues remain. Most annoying being the one with the messing of the playing upon tempo change.

Ok, I noticed that it plays ok after tempo change IF you hit play (hence the other tracks are playing). Until now I was trying to audition the MIDI files by themselves - without the other tracks playing. Which I suppose would be the "wrong" way of auditioning MIDI loops - because you normally wanna hear them layered with the other tracks, to hear if they fit in the composition...
