My SampleTank 3 SE install works fine as a standalone (using an iRig I/O Keys with the ASIO4ALL drivers). But when I load ST3 into a Cakewalk track (default settings in the pop-up window), and use the master bus as the output, I can't get any sound at all.

• It's not a MIDI problem; both the iRig's key presses and the onscreen keyboard results in activity in the ST levels meter.
• Using this exact same MIDI input/bus output combination for any other VST in Cakewalk works fine.
• There's only one bus (Master, natch) in the project, and no returns.
• I've tried loading ST instruments in different Parts, but again, same non-result.

So I've been attempting to use my iRig Keys I/O with the latest Bandcamp version of Cakewalk, but am running into a few problems:

•  I record something using the iRig's microphone input, and when I playback, the recording has been sped up to be twice as fast as the tempo in which I recorded it.
• (Perhaps not related to the controller itself): Choosing a different patches in various soft synths/VSTs causes the sound output to have a distorted, "grainy" character. Oddly enough, pressing P to call up the preferences dialogue box will immediately fix this and restore the sond to its correct character).

Hopefully a simple fix asked by a simpleton.
