I don’t use the external instruments much, but I’ve a track assigned to Halion with a bass sound and now I hear nothing when it plays.
Does it react when you input a signal? Have you checked the volume level? Is the bass sound actually loaded into Halion or is it just highlighted?
It was playing when I opened the song initially. I closed the Halion Window because it was in the way, and worked on some other tracks. Then went to include it again and no sound. Reopening the window made no difference. volume is up, assigned to master.
Is it set to “all midi inputs” under the inspector panel?
Maybe try close & re-open the project. I’ve had this happen with a few synths though not Halion yet.
It is set to all midi and opening and closing didn’t help.
Just so we get the full picture: can you post a screenshot of the project window with the routing plus a screenshot of the Halion instance, please?
On which track are the midi events? Can you post a screenshot, please?
Do you hear other signals in the project apart from Halion? I’m asking to make sure the outputs are set correctly.
I found that the problems was that the SL mixer was not fully engaged. I didn’t notice because the midi tracks played. When I went to another project which also had audio and thatwasn’t playing either, then I saw that the mixer needed to be reactivated. Usually I have to unplug and replug before it is fully capable, for some reason.
I am back to this problem again. I created a test project to try things with the chord track after watching a video. Made chord track added chords, then dragged to a midi channel. Fine. Same with instrument channel, with Halion as guitar on 3, and then I had to do a lot of tweaking before I got it to sound, adjusting midi channel to 3 in both Haion and the Inspector.
Then I just tried adding notes on another Halion channel for bass and assigned midi channel 9. I set to follow chord track after putting just one note, and it changed them. But I heard nothing. I kept trying different things till I heard a bass and then tried different versions of bass. Then got a notice that Cubase was unstable and was crashing and to save under a new name. did so and closed and reopened Cubase and now I can’t get the bass track to sound at all though the guitar one does.
I don’t know what is different about the bass and guitar tracks but I can see why I almost never use instrument channels as so unpredictable.
