Well the first thing that jumps out of this situation is that the dectalk is well known to not shutup. The next thing is that adding a layer of abstraction (having an internal synth emulate an external one) sounds like an excelent plan to magnify such shortcommings. Next thing is what is this screen capture thing? It really sounds like you are trying to do something that is beyond the intent and design of the program. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net
