Help! 
I am asking for help from any one who is familiar with MIDI and Bars & Pipes.
 
I have the manuals and please don't quote the old RTFM back to me.....  This
problem seems to be one that obeys Mr Murphy.
 
What has happened:
 
Originaly I had an early version of B&P and decided to buy a "cheap" keyboard
with MIDI.
 
After a long time I got the latest version of B&P and even bofore that I realised
the keyboard was somewhat limited in its features:  5 chanels for a starter.
 
So anyway I indulged myself in a MIDI module and started to get some files.
 
Well, I am not a musical person myself, but I can indulge myself in playing about
with the patch numbers and things like that......
 
So I am mucked about with a simple version of the Entertainer (Scott Joplin) and
it had two tracks - trebble and bass.
 
So I also learnt about CC#10 (pan).  If the value = 0, left and if = 127, right.
(and put each on a seperate midi channel number)
 
So I mucked about with the values and put the bass to 0 and the trebble to 127,
so it would "look" like a real piano.
 
When I double click on the track window, and play the track from within the
window, all is sweet, but when I play the song, both bass and trebble come out
the one speaker.
 
I know a person who has a copy that does work, but I would really like to 
know /
learn why this is happening.
 

Please reply direct.
 
Many thanks in advance.
