Drambo basic question: monitor inactive track
So I would like to use the in-app keyboard to monitor the audio from a single Drambo track (let’s call it track 2). If main or master track is selected, I can’t play the keyboard and hear sounds. How do I set up MIDI routing so I can always hear track 2 no matter what track is selected?

The question is a little confusing because of how the word monitoring is usually used when talking about DAWs, but I think I understand. I think what you're asking is whether you can "lock" the Drambo keyboard so that it is always playing track two no matter which track is selected.
The answer is unfortunately, that you can't. You're not alone in wanting this. There has been a recent feature request for it over on the Drambo Forum. It didn't get much attention, so you might want to head over there and add your support for it.
I suggest using another plugin keyboard AUv3 in that channel and make sure that the rest of the track is getting it's midi from it, then set it to be in a floating window and slide that window down over the pads or keyboard area, or wherever else it's convenient. The plugin window will remain visible no matter which track you have selected. Xequence AUv3 Keys, KB-1, and Velocity Keyboard are some good candidates.
You don't necessarily have to use another app. You can also load Drambo as an AUv3 within itself and use the keyboard from that instance. Just be sure you add it as a MIDI device, not a generator.
That has a big advantage over my first suggestion ... midi thru. With another keyboard app you probably don't have midi thru, so you have to switch the midi input back to the track when you want to hear from the sequencer. With Drambo as a midi plugin the midi will to through by default, so no switching needed.
If you're interested, I posted an extension of this idea over on the Drambo Forum...
