The notes are probably muted.
Keep in mind that you're running a totally unsupported setup as PT 11.3.1 is only considered compatible up to OSX 10.10.3 although I had used it with OSX 10.12.6 with some issues. For example the import audio menu command won't work and you have to drag audio in from Finder. Here's a link to the compatibility chart: http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...tibility-Chart


Use PT 11.3.1 outside of the chart recommendations and don't be surprised to have problems.

Are you using instrument tracks or what? With an instrument track there's nothing to route anywheres as regards MIDI. The notes are either muted or don't have a proper routing to them if you're using separate tracks for the MIDI and vi. And if you are using instrument tracks to host the vi & MIDI in the edit screen enable instrument view and check that the MIDI is being routed to the vi on said track.

Maybe post a picture of your screen so we can see what you actually are doing.

You're doing this all wrong. The vi goes on an instrument track and the MIDI goes on that same track. No need for separate tracks which is probably what's causing your problem.

Open the Instrument View in the mixer view and see that your assignements have changed. Set it up again and it will be good. This is a known bug.

Okay then.

Just accept that perhaps your unsupported configuration has made this bug worse than it is. If you are running 11.3.1 the max.supported OS is 10.10.3 and if you are using 10.14.6 the minimum PT version you need would be 2019.5

Downgrade OS or upgrade PT, then try again.
