Default Re: Unable to play any midi instrument I own

Make sure you are viewing the instrument panel in the track. not just insert, send, and i/o.

It sounds like this is assigned correctly.

If you imported a session sometimes the output gets an italicized alias output in the i/o panel where the aforementioned sends and inserts are. This needs to be changed to a real output(non italicized) but even so you should hear it but it wouldn't render correctly. You could go to the i/o preferences and just click default. Then double check that you have real outputs.

Are the controllers enabled under setup>midi>input devices? The boxes for your keyboards should be ticked.

Try downloading a fresh copy of the m-audio drivers and installing them again.

Default Re: Unable to play any midi instrument I own

Hi relixtinian and moonmusic, et. al,

I too am in the same boat, with 'Pro Tools 2019.12.0'?

Pro Tools 'Set Up' sees the differing small MIDI keyboards that I own (e.g. I tried an Op-1, MINILAB MkII and NOVATION 25), but even with the Default MIDI Preference set to 'first selected MIDI track'... NOTHING?

I can tap on the virtual keys and know that the virtual instruments are playing correctly, but nothing re connectivity with the external MIDI keyboard?

These all work seamlessly in other DAW's (e.g. ABLETON 10). So what have I missed?

Kind regards,
:-R
