Instrument track wont play midi event

Hi, I just reinstalled Cubase and suddenly one of the instrument tracks in one of my songs wont play back the midi information on the track. If I arm the track, enable monitoring, and press the keys on my midi keyboard, the instrument produces sound just fine. But if I ask Cubase to play the midi part I recorded for the track months ago there is no sound. And no, the midi event isn’t muted.

Oddly, if I duplicate the track, the duplicated track works perfectly - as in, it can play back recorded midi and everything. So the solution is clearly to just duplicate it, delete the old track, and forget about the whole thing. But I’m curious: Is this some sort of bug, or can anyone think of a proper, settings-related explanation why the track isn’t working?

I have experienced this as well - same workaround. It happens only once in a blue moon so I’ve never given it much thought.

I’m afraid I have no explanation, too. Something got messed up but it’s not threatening the project so I’m good.

Thanks for that. I was going a little nuts trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, so it’s good to know that it’s just a random glitch.
