Double query here...

Finally got around to getting MM on my personal laptop (Had on Studio PC, but prefer Cubase on desktop PC) and I've noticed that when trying to manually input notes into the piano roll/drum editor, although "Play Clicked Notes" is selected, I'm not hearing anything when I input notes? This is causing me having to constantly play back every single note I enter, which, as you can imagine, is murder when you're getting to grips with new drum & FX VST's.

Is there something I'm not seeing that is preventing this? Because even instruments purchased via the in app store aren't doing it.

Along with this, in older versions of Music Maker (MM14 being the best one in my opinion) allowed a continuation of the velocity that was last set in the roll. For example, if all notes were default entered at 50 velocity, and one was changed to 100, then the following notes entered manually would be at 100 velocity, unless changed. Is there a way this can be done in Music Maker 2021?

any help is appreciated!
