Playing Two Sounds in SampleTank [Resolved]

This seems incredibly rudimentary, but I can't figure it out: how do you play two sounds simultaneously in SampleTank? I load an instrument in 1 and it plays - load another in 2 and it plays, but only when 2 is selected. It doesn't play both instruments at once, so you can't combine instruments.

The same issue is happening in Miroslav Philharmonik.

Hello henrybaum and welcome to the forums.

It will depend on how your MIDI keyboard or DAW sends MIDI information, specifically MIDI channels.

If you have instruments loaded in 1 & 2 and both set to MIDI channel 1 in the GUI, they should both play as long as your MIDI keyboard is transmitting on channel 1.

Perhaps sharing some screenshots might help. Here's how you can post pics to the forum: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=27252"

Change the MIDI Channel number to be the same for all the instruments, and the same as the MIDI Notes from your MIDI keyboard or DAW.

Here I am playing three instruments all on MIDI Channel 01:
