Here in SFP. I have already condensed down my song and imported into Logic.. I wanted to go back and create some more string parts.. See (3_strings_traks_on_MIDI_13 jpg)
As you can see item 16 has strings basically all the way through. On items 17 and 18 I created two more different string parts..
Normally you'd expect SFP to have the lowest (at bottom of page) to overide tracks above (these 3 string parts are all on MIDI channel 3. So when the item track 17 or 18 isn't playing SFP would revert to playing track 16..
When I import into Logic, see 3_tracks_in_Logic_on_MIDI_13.jpg
You see I have three tracks assigned to MIDI channel 13. Yet I must go in and manually cute and mute them to play correctly.. I thought SFP was supposed to do this automatically
What have I missed, screwed up or not understood?
Thanx

Hi mark, I think synfire plays all instruments in a container unless paused or if the is a child container with a motif for that instrument.
Remember the option to split a track apart and break it up into separate bass, chord, melody tracks? They are all using the same instrument and all have to play to recreate the combined audio.
Either put pause figures in there or move the extra parts to a sub container

The overriding of a phrase in subcontainers works per instrument in the arrangement, not per midi channel. If you have multiple instruments sharing the same channel, you need to put an empty Figure or pause them in sub containers, if you want them to stop playing.
