Well...I've got my great big rock and it's poised over this midi controller...you just give the word and I'll obliterate this f-ing thing.

lol, no not just yet. That part works ok.
It might be that soundcard though, Have you done a physical uninstall of it, boot the system so it knows it isnt there, and then reinstall and boot again?

james is on Singapore time. He`s usally popping in late. Perhaps he`ll have a quick fix. I dont think it`s a major problem.
In the meantime I`ll do some reading and research. We do know that its not the controller, not the S3 software. We dont know, if we are missing a switch or setting in S3, and we dont know if the card and windows may be having some trouble or not.
By it not showing the soundfonts in the dropdown menu and, not showing up as a midi synth device, I`m leaning towards the creative installation pack you have may be the same one I had that didnt work well with sonar. I dl'd one from the compaq site and had no troubles after that. I had to have the creative recorder installed in order for me to record. The windows recorder didnt agree with my setup.

Glad you page me, Toki 
Well, first place to check is your Creative SB card. Certain SB card (like the old PCI my younger brother has) doesn't support soundfonts at all
Thus you can't assign soundfonts from dropdown menu. Or there's some problem lies on the driver/OS which caused your current problem.
Here's some screen shoot if your SB card installed properly:

I only see the microsoft midi mapper. I've re-installed the soundcard multiple times and I've never seen anything like what you've got. Again my soundcard is a CreativeAudioPCI. Is this the PCI card you mentioned earlier? I have gotten this thing to work once before, but I'll be damned if I remember how. I even posted a song with the keys I did with the dreamstation. I found some bug fixes on the net for the SBLive! I'm gonna try those next...Thanx JAmes!!!!!And Toki!!!!!!

Sorry, I was dissconected yesterday...
Anyway, let's devide the problem. First problem is does your "Creative AudioPCI" soundcard support soundfonts, and second problem is why you can't monitor while playing DXi track.
First, some search on google brought me to:
http://www.tuorum.homeunix.org/index-20040731.php
where I quoted:
"The Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI ($40, 1999) was a descent card and lasted me a long while. I changed over to an Aureal Vortex SQ2500 ($70) sound card which had a MUCH better response time and better sound quality. It also used DLS sounds for the wavetable, so could be reloaded with new sounds, had very good support for positional audio (EAX, A3D, surround), and support for 4 output channels (2 front, 2 rear) and a digital SPDiF output (RCA). Unfortunately, it couldn't use soundfonts.
So, it *might* be the problem with your card. And I assume what you had before was it's softsynth (like Microsoft GS softsynth) played by this card.

Having a closer look at your attached Track View, it seems like you didn't port your MIDI track to DXi track. You need to route your MIDI track to DXi track (in your case, Dreamstation track), and make sure you select Bank and Patch properly.
ps. I don't install Dreamstation, so here's my example using TTS-1 DXi.

Notice that first track is DXi track, and second track is MIDI track ported to first track. In your case, you need to select In USB Keystation as MIDI input, and select Dreamstation as your MIDI output. Then select channel 1 (for example), and select Bank + Patch. Done... Make sure you run audio engine (beside playback button), and play your keyboard...
How about that?

Wow...I don't know what to say except thanx. I'm gonna try it now. I may not be able to respond until tomorrow, but I'll let you know ASAP. *fingers crossed*

no. That wasn't it. Thank you, tho. I'm giving up on midi...if it's this much trouble I don't want anything to do with it. I'll be taping M-80's to my controller tonight and on New Year's Eve it'll go out with a bang. If you want to try and figure it out, be my guest but there's only a few days left.

Wait a tic... I won $100 bucks last week in a raffle. Is there another soundcard I could buy for that much? One without all the conflict?
