Yes it did, thank you!  I think I've figured out what I'm doing wrong

Thanks for the response.  I did try this, but maybe not thoroughly enough.  I didn't think about C3 location possibly being different.  So you have Philharmonik 2, and it works fine for you?  Did my explanation of how I created the instrument and track sound correct?  I keep thinking I'm doing something really stupid that's causing this to happen.  I'm not as young and smart as I used to be

Apologies for bringing up an old topic (and for being somewhat off topic), but I'm a bit desperate and hoping one of you can help.  I just got Philharmonik 2 CE myself, and can't for the life of me get it to make sound.  It installed fine, everything's there... then in Cakewalk I go "Insert Instrument", select "Philharmonik 2", set virtual channel to 11, for example, output is "master", and create the track.  I then click on the little track icon to open the VST interface, and the Philharmonik 2 interface comes up perfectly.  I can manipulate and hear everything, playing no problem on the interface's keyboard... I put an instrument on track 11, close the interface, go to piano roll for my new track, and nothing... no sound.  What am I doing wrong?  I've searched... read all the documentation I could find, and still can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance for any help.  I'm trying to get back into music after a 10+ year absence, so forgive me if I seem a bit clueless.  This is one of the few threads I've found with people discussing using Philharmonik 2 with Cakewalk, so I've got my fingers crossed!
