Midi not triggering sounds at all, tried different drivers in list. when instrument or vst loaded these play ok and key press on midi keyboard registers with installed instrument keyboard but no sound. this midi setup worked before upgrade installation.

Any help would be appreciated .

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Try these audio settings which work for me:

If you do not have a different audio card the settings in the Advanced dialog - circled in blue should be similar.

Note: your MIDI Input device should be set to your keyboard.

Hi John, I tried the settings as recommended but still no instrument playback or keyboard sound.

I re-installed ASIO driver to your settings and instrument playback and midi keyboard both worked.

Beautiful sounds !!

Thanks for your prompt attention.
