No sound from VST Instrument once I send Midi output to it

[Jason Denio]

1. I open a midi file in Cakewalk (Example Files Attached) and Cakewalk automatically loads TTS-1
2. The file plays fine through TTS-1
3. I insert a VST Instrument (i.e. SI-Bass)
4. The SI-Bass interface produces sound if I click on the strings in the interface
5. I assign my Midi Bass track output to the SI-Bass instrument
6. Click Play
7. The SI-Instrument produces no output
8. I stop playback
9. Open SI-Bass interface and when I click on a Bass string, it no longer produces sound.

2 different versions of the midi file I'm trying are attached.

Also, opening projects that worked before no longer work. No sound from VST instruments.

This is almost always the result of unexpected data shutting down the sfz engine in the synth.

Thank you, that worked great!
