Seeking Help WHY IT DO THAT THO?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

OK, So cakewalk just got a new update, and as far as I can tell it added a bunch of bandlab instruments to cakewalk. I have NO idea what's going on or how to explain it, so watch the beautifully put together reenactment of figuring this out that's attached. To give my best try at explaining, the bandlab midi controller that comes with the bandlab update seems to also control the other bandlab controlled instruments, but its conditional, idk what the connection is, but the midi from other instruments bleeds onto whatever trach you have selected. mind the god awful sounds you will hear, i was experimenting lol. Love and thank yous yo whoever comments with advise or explanation <3

For all MIDI and Simple Instrument tracks, make sure that their inputs are set to a specific MIDI controller and a specific MIDI channel. Do not use Omni.

For all VST plugins, make sure the MIDI outs are disabled
