So I finally solved the issue. The Launchkey is supposed to send on channel 1 with drums on channel 10. Somehow my Launchkey got changed to send on channel 4. On a random YouTube video I found out how to see what channel the Launchkey is set to and how to change it. You'd think that would be something they would put in the User Guide. I still don't know why it seemed to work on Ableton Live, though. It only did it that one time. Anyway, it's all working now. I really appreciate the time people put in to help.

I just tried this in Ableton Live Lite, and I can hear the Korg when playing the Launchpad Mini III. It appears the issue is somewhere in Cakewalk.

I have tried that and it doesn't make a difference. Oddly, when I am playing the Korg using the virtual keyboard, I don't need an audio track. Just need echo on the MIDI track. The audio interface has MIDI in and out. That is how the computer is communicating with the Korg. I have the track output set to omni. I have also tried each individual channel. The thing is, the computer is communicating with the Korg. That's how it is playing sounds when using the virtual keyboard. The Korg does have a headphone jack and it's output matches what I hear from the AI headphones.

I am using a Korg rack mount synth that I just happen to have lying around. I have the MIDI cable going out of the Audio Interface (AI) and into the Korg. I have an audio cable going out of my Korg into Audio input 1 of the AI. I have a Launchpad Mini 3 (keyboard) connected to the computer via USB. The AI is also connected to the computer via USB. I am listening through headphones connected to the AI. When I create a MIDI track and send the output to the AI I get weird results. If I play the keyboard I can see the levels reacting in the track, but get no sound. If I go into piano roll view (PRV) and play the keyboard I can see the virtual keyboard responding, but nothing appears on the piano roll. If, however, I play the virtual piano in PRV notes appear on the roll and I can hear them being produced from the Korg. Another weird thing is that if I create a MIDI track and send the output to a virtual instrument I can use the keyboard to record. If I then take that MIDI clip and copy it into the track that is outputing to the AI (and as a result, the Korg) when I play the clip I don't get sound. If I totally disconnect the keyboard from the computer and try to use it as a stand alone MIDI controller going into the Korg I don't get sound out of the Korg either. Could there be a MIDI format issue? Given that MIDI is an ancient protocol I wouldn't have thought so? I can't see what I could have possibly missed, since the Korg is clearly receiving MIDI instructions and clearly emitting a sound signal. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is driving me crazy Magically yours, Michel Fouché
