Cannot record midi track. Cubase 12.20 professional

“How is the MIDI Input of the given track setup? Do you use All MIDI Inputs or the dedicated Input? Which one?”

Never use ALL Midi Just a midi track created for my Yamaha Genos instrument selection (work staion Genos 1 work staion 2 - it allows you to select your instrument. I created one midi track to test it… Track 1

How is your MIDI Filter setup? In preferences, Nothing is checked - record or thru no numbers 1-16 are checked

“Do you use any Input Transformer?” None

"Can you see the MIDI Part after the recording? NO when I start to record, it starts off as a blank gray with no midi data - when I stop, it goes back to black as if nothing was recorded.

The same thing happens if I create an instrumental track and select a VSTI instrument.

What is the next step?
