yes the monitoring is active. As I mentioned, when you play the keys on the VST instrument (check the Ivory II graphic, it has a keyboard). When you click the mouse on those keys it works fine, plus in the bottom left if the VST instrument (Ivory II) you can see a midi indicator. When I play using my external controller, this is not working, however if I play the actual VST interment keyboard, the midi indicator lights up.
