midi keyboard input not working correctly

[euan dolan]

Ive ticked my midi device in preferences-midi-devices but when I create a midi track and set the input to my midi device, (selecting simple instrument track) no input is recorded at all. if I tick the midi output box, the keys I press make the green bar on the track light up but no sound comes out. what could I do to make this work?

Hi euan and welcome to the Cakewalk forums.

Make sure you have Input Echo on (on any MIDI track).

 

Kind regards,
