No midi playback?! protools 7

[PotatoFro]

Hey, i'm running pro tools 7 through my mbox2 with an oxygen 8 controller. i made an instrument track and used the reason plug in to choose the instrument. i get a signal and i can hear the sound from the keyboard. i armed the track and recorded. i can see that the information was recorded onto the track but when i press play nothing is played back.

am i missing something here? do i need to change some setting in reason or PT? I figured if i could hear it and get the recorded signal into pt it was probably all good. guess not.

thanks in advance!

ps. i can hear playback when i record guitar tracks

Check to see if you have clicked MIDI Thur. Have you set up your tracks correctly MIDI AUX Reason inserted in AUX and that the MIDI Output Channels are correct.


Hope this Helps

to answer your questions... yes midi thru is clicked. in regards to your suggestions about aux etc. i was under the impression that the addition of instrument tracks in pt7 took away the need for the connection of a midi and aux track.

but in general i'm very new to this. would you mind explaining what a propper connection would be (just a simple channel setting step by step) i would really appreciate it.

I am not finiliar w/your controller, but on you MIDI track in pro tools, is the output of you MIDI channel pointed at the Item and channel you are using? If you are using a Subtractor in reason, the output would be pointed to subtractor1 or 2 etc.. or whatever instrument you are using. The area I am talking about is the button under the input, which is track output I believe. Hope this helps.
