Rikki, you should beable to play one of the voices in either Soundfonts or your Hyper Canvas on channel 1. Just make sure that Channel 1 is turned on in forte along with the appropriate port. It should be the port that you plugged your keyboard into (soundcard port) that is activated in forte. Give this a try and see what happens. If it turns out that you have only one port in your soundcard which goes to OMB and you cannot have another device connected to it (forte) then you may have to get something like Midi Connection Center which allows for multiple connections. This is free software from: http://www.musiclab.com/downloads/free/
