Anway, the problem shouldn't have anything to do with platforms. Here goes:
When I have a MIDI track (sending to a VSTi) selected, I can play the instrument just fine. Obviously. But now, as soon as I click the Edit button in the inspector (the one opening the audio channel of the plugin loaded, not the MIDI one or the GUI one), the track gets deselected, so I can't play the plugin anymore while adjusting, say, the channel EQ. Is there any way around it? I seem to remember some sort of preferences in SX3, allowing you to adjust some stuff regarding general window behaviour and the likes, but so far I haven't found anything which would actually adress this very problem.
Also, when I click back in the main project window, to re-select the track, the MIDI channel edit window will open and the audio channel one will be closed automatically. Can this be changed, too? I mean, after all, right now I am *not* able to simultaneously play a virtual instrument *and* look at its audio channel settings. IMO it'd be a massive hindsight if this behaviour couldn't be changed.

Thanks
