My midi keyboard is connected, the notes are being read on the piano roll, but no sound is being played

[Patrick Silva]

Hey guys. So this happened out of nowhere, from one day to another. I've always used my midi keyboard normally no problem, and now, suddenly this is happening. All my settings are the same way they always were, and when I play the notes manually with the mouse, the sound plays. Seems like some reading issue between the keyboard and the program. Any tips?

Have you used any MIDI monitor (Midi-OX for example) to confirm that your keyboard is still sending out data?
You may have had a component level failure in your keyboard.
If your MSK25 is BlueTooth [MkII], you may have lost the transmitter.

By "read on the piano roll", do you mean it's recorded, and the notes are persistent when you finish recording? And they're still there after you close and reopen Cakewalk?

The images you posted have nothing to do with 'sound'.

MIDI data has to be played by a synthesizer of some sort in order to be heard. That synthesizer has to be played through speakers or headphones.

If you're using a software synthesizer in Cakewalk, ensure the MIDI track's output is set to the synth's input. Then make sure the synth's output is set to the sound card or audio interface the speaker or headphones are connected to.

What are your track's outputs set to?
What are your synth's outputs set to?

Can you post screenshots of your Audio Preferences?

Thanks for reaching out! I just fixed it. Spent two hours and the imput echo was turned off. Just that x.x
