I am now returning to complete a project and am facing MAJOR MIDI challenges.
When I add a new instrument track and play the controller, I see the MIDI activity on the transport panel. When I arm the track, activate the monitor switch next to the record button and play the controller, I hear no sound. The MIDI input status on the track is set to “ALL MIDI inputs”, the output status is set to HALion sonic, the red “record” button is activated as well as the amber “monitor” button. The sketch track that already has MIDI information is playing back. I even tested with a blank, new project; same result; no sound.
The keyboard controller, AKAI MPK 61, works in Sibelius, so I know it’s not the USB cable, nor the computer’s USB port.
In the MIDI preferences for filtering, you have the options to decide what to record, and what not to record. I can’t get to the studio at the moment to give you detailed instructions, but In had a similar problem on a new rig where I could see the data but it wouldn’t record. However, I also manged to play it in real time and hear what I was palying, so I’m sure that my suggestion is not the whole story.
The track is armed, I’m hearing the instrument as I play along with the metronome, and I’m seeing MIDI activity on the track. As soon as press the “record” button, everything goes silent and nothing is recorded. I’m seeing no MIDI activity on the track.
This English language of ours!
I just realised, that I was filtering the notes “OUT”!
I thought the filter was to allow you to check the things you want to “let through”, as opposed to “filter out”.
I really thought I ad this thing covered, but obviously, I don’t!
Still no sound; still seeing MIDI activity in the transport bar; still hearing audio from previously recorded MIDI tracks; still NOT hearing audio when I arm the track and play.
