Midi playing does not work

[Pakewalker]

 

The above image shows my workspace. There is a track selected and a piano row. When I click on the keyboard keys, it produces sound. But, when hitting play, the instrument produces no sound, that is, it does not play the notes which are in the piano row. Please, why is this happening?

What interface are you using for output? The onboard audio is showing muted in the system tray. Also the notes in the PRV are so light, they look like they might be muted (not the clip, but the individual notes). If so, select all, and click a note in the PRV with the mute tool to unmute.

Other possibilities: Shift+T to show lanes, and make sure the lane isn't muted, and show the controller pane in the PRV and make sure the velocities are up.

Hi, none of the suggestions worked. As I said, sound was set up correctly since I could hear the instrument by pressing the piano row keys. I messed a lot with this, and the solution was to use the event inspector to change the channel of the midi tracks. Don't know why I had to go through that procedure though. I just tried a lot of stuff and that's what solved it for me.

Almost suggested checking channels, but most synths will respond to any channel. But a multitimbral synth might need to have a patch explicitly loaded for each channel used.

Yes, I solved it but have no idea what happened. Gotta study about cakewalk channels.
