Hi Ulf, Yes, it look very strange to me but … it works. The sound is there and also when entering the notes with a MIDI keyboard. I also tried with SpeakersSpeakersSpeakers without result. This only works with 4 times Speakers Thank you and I hope that this experience will allow you to improve this very interesting software. Have a nice day and “bravo” for your work. ---

Glad to hear that it works now for you. Well, I spare me the details of why it works with ‘4 Speakers’ and not ‘3 Speakers’. Rest assured, when next week the 1.0.20 update will come out, it will work again with any name, so you could go back even to your native “speaker” 😉 ---

No sound even in 1.0.20? Could you please again create a simple Piano project and post here? Thank you and sorry for the trouble. ---

I was serious when I wrote this post. Since I restarted Windows and everything is back in order. The sound is back. I’m sorry if I scared you. And thank you again for your work and your responsiveness. Happy Holidays ---
