Chord pads won't sound

I have cubasele8 and I reinstalled it thinking it would fix things but it didn’t so here I am asking how to get the chord pads along with my midicontroller to make sound…I have an instrument track and a piano loaded and opened the chord pads but the midicontroller and even the pointer will not make the chord pads sound.the keys light up and the chord pads light up when I hit the midicontroller keys but no sound…I tried defaulting everything I could and I was thinking maybe I missed a default…the pointer will make the piano sound when pointing on the halion sonic keys.Any help please…I uninstalled and reinstalled cubasele8…
UPDATE:
Found out what it was…in file-preferences-midi-midi filter…reset to defaults…I must have did a c.c. learn or midi learn and it messed up the keyboard…
