What do you mean by Mode?

But it usually should be in Performance Mode.

This depends on how you are using your sequencer and it's inputs and routing. You should have a method to just play midi out into the sequencer.

Are you trying to play in a whole song, or a track at a time?

You're still not describing your situation thoroughly enough.

Where are you trying to play the tracks? In your Fantom, or in your sequencer?

The word track itself has so many connotations, and many people use it in different contexts.

So.............the best way to get the help that you are looking for is to lay out your setup and your task, with as much detail as possible.

Man, you're making me work for this.

By your modules, do you mean hardware synthesizer modules?

So you're not using the sounds in the Fantom?

I'm not that familiar with protools, but have heard that its MIDI implementation is thinner than some of the other platforms.

For anybody to help you, you still need to take more time to lay out your setup.

PC or Mac?

Full hardware setup (other synth modules, etc.)

MIDI hardware

Soft synths that your are using.

You've made it clear that you are using PT as your sequencer, so that's where you MIDI tracks will be recorded and played back from. Now fill in the rest.
