PC and MIDI keyboards control channels in the sequencer instead of pitches?

I am _not_ a noob (lifetime subscription to FL since 1999 or 2000), but this one has me completely stumped. In fact, I have started opting NOT to use FL at all due to this limitation. I just cannot get keyboard keys or MIDI keyboard to control PITCHES instead of playing a C4 in each channel in the step sequencer.

I have tried with the channel selected. I have made sure keyboard-to-piano is on. I have tried closing the stupid sequencer altogether. It STILL goes through the channels instead of pitches in the selected channel! WTF??? I don't want to hear drum samples as I play my keyboard. I want to control one single 404 channel when I play it.

In case I am not being clear about the issue, here is what I mean:

TS404 in channel 1
Kick drum in channel 2
Snare drum in channel 3

I type "z" and the TS404 plays its C4.
I type "x" and the KICK DRUM plays its C4
I type "c" and the SNARE DRUM plays its C4

But, I want::

I select the TS404 channel 1
I type "z" and the TS404 plays its C4
I type "x" and the TS404 plays its C#4
I type "c" and the TS404 plays its D4

Help???

Raymond.
