SI-Bass and SI-Drums don't sound

[tdehan]

I am working on a project and want to change the MIDI bass and drum tracks to use SI-Bass and SI-Drums.  After adding the new instrument tracks to the project and copying the MIDI data to the new tracks there is no sound.  If I add other VST bass and drums and copy the MIDI data there is sound.  No sound with the SI Bass and Drums.

When you insert the instrument the GUI should open automatically, if not open it and simply click on the preview part of the GUI. 
 

If that makes sound then the problem is with your midi data. It might be out of the range used. 
If the GUI doesn’t make sound then it is probably the track is not going to the correct output.

The instrument does not automatically open up.  However,  when I click on the preview part of the GUI it does.  I can also play the instrument at the point.  However, when I copy the MIDI data to that track it mutes the instrument.  This is only happening with the SI-Bass and SI-Drum Kit.

There might be a rogue CC in the MIDI data - the SI instruments can behave a little weirdly with unexpected CCs.

Check for any RPN and NRPN events in your MIDI track. These will stop SI instruments sounding when encountered.

You could also check the VST Plug-in Properties and tick the option “Do not intercept NRPNs”.

Yes it is common for midi data that was not your own creation to contain extra information. 
 

Open the event list. As well as note if there’s any extra Controller lanes in the PVR.
 

Rare but sometimes I found the problem was Sys Ex data. ( System Exclusive) there’s a view for that in the multi dock. 
 

One way to tell is as example in the instrument GUI adjust the master volume. Now start playback and observe what happens.

Why copy the data to a new track when you can just change the output of the track to the new synth?
