I'll try to describe the issue a little better:

What I'm trying to accomplish is to use a style to record only the drum track (as SMF) , and then have it linked with one of my performance memories. The problem is when I play back the recorded MIDI file (that has only the drum track on it) , it selects a different MFX for the UP1 tone. It uses the MFX of the Tone that was residing in UP1 when the drum track was created, even though the UP1 button wasn't even lit , and neither was the MFX button.

Before I link the MIDI file with the Performance Memory, I go into the 16 Track Sequencer, and record nothing on Track 4, by selecting STD and REPLACE, and it's still not getting rid of the MFX, it's still present somewhere in the SysEx files.

So unless I record the drum track right from the get go with the TONE that I want for Up1, this thing will keep changing the MFX back to the MFX of the TONE that was residing in UP1 during the drum recording.

This is a big problem, since what if I want to use a different TONE in Up1 (in the performance memory) , and that TONE has a different MFX, once I start playing the MIDI file, the MFX will be selected back to the TONE that was residing in UP1 when the drum track was created.

I even tried going into the MFX (holding the button), and turning it OFF for UP1 which is MFX1, and then do the recording, but it still records the MFX into the MIDI file.

At this point I have two options, I either record it with the desired Tone right from the get go, or I turn OFF the MFX in the performance memory for UP1.

I'm hoping that you might have an idea, what I should do.
