MIDI Editor has no sound + More

So when I create an empty track and double click to get to the midi editor the sideways piano keys have no sound. Once I choose a virtual instrument I can not click on the play button to get any sound nor can the piano keys that are displayed on the virtual instrument such as vita be clicked on at all. The only time I get any sound from the midi editor is if it's a preloaded piece of music.

Hello Ernest,

Sounds like you might not be in ASIO driver mode right now. You might want to check that again in the program settings. Ever since the new Samplitude-derived audio engine was introduced in generation 27.x of Music Maker, you would no longer be able to get audio output when trying to trigger VST instruments in stop mode while using DirectSound or Wave drivers. (This was still possible in generation 25.x.) This is true for triggering the notes from the piano roll, the on-screen MIDI keyboard, as well as an external physical MIDI keyboard. It has caused a bit of confusion with some users. However, if you're working in any kind of MIDI recording scenario, ASIO drivers should be your weapon of choice anyway, and they are also the default driver type (starting in generation 25.x).

Hope this helps!
