Hi, James, Thank you for writing.
I have the proper ports selected now. I have even set up 5 tracks to be used when recording a song. I have not yet recorded anything except a test just to see if I can record. My synth has no menu button. The function button opens a list of items which can be adjusted. It's a matter of arrowing a certain number of time, pressing "enter" to put me onto the MIDI page. Then there are a few more key presses and then local will be turned off. I have all the sequences for that on a recording. I'll try it to see if I can turn local off. Turning the synth on or off resets the instrument to local on. This is complex so I hope I can master it. I must use the track menu to create a track rather than using the shortcut key. It does nothing. Thank you James and a few others for your help and your interest. I hope that I can ultimately produce some decent sequences.
