but all the other fields have something assigned to them?  multi-track,
auto-track, etc...

well those are the external tracks though.  are they assigned to the 
same
tracks as the internal tracks, BTW?  and which are you trying to output,
the internal or the external tracks?

I doubt it and I wouldn't recommend cracking open your MnM to poke
around, mainly because it might void your warranty.  The quick and easy
way to check your MIDI OUT port is probably just to do a sysex send
from the MnM to your computer and have something like MIDI-OX (PC)
or Sysex Librarian (Mac) receive it.  That should work regardless of 
your
global settings.  BUT I'm pretty certain that with the settings you're
using, it should be sending data out on the out port. So if that 
doesn't work,
I'd contact Elektron again.  Tell them exactly what your global settings
are and that you've tried a Sysex send using a known-to-work Sysex
tool (one of the two above) over a known-to-work interface and received
no results.

On second thought, have you tried a factory reset?  If the Sysex send
doesn't work, you might want to try that before contacting Elektron.
Perhaps something is corrupt or unitialized...  The bad news is that a
factory reset will cause you to lose all internal data.  But it looks 
like there's
very little you can do to save that at this stage of the game (even if
you send it in for repair).
