The bass won't sound even though notation shows the note and piano roll shows velocity and volume. Anyone ever had this? If so,what did you do about it? Thanks. 2b i5-3210 laptop.

Do you use an internal VSTi synth (e.g. Forte DXi) or an external module? Options > MIDI/Audio Drivers > Are you using WAS or MME? If WAS, what is the Audio Driver set to? Is the Use Default Device option ticked? Is it only the Bass that doesn't play of are there other MIDI instruments that don't play also? Can you change to use MME and see if that makes a difference?

As suggested, if using ASIO, try MME. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home.

If it is just some of the notes, it would be due to the the notes being too low or too high and outside the range defined for the bass. To test this, change the pitch of the notes by dragging them up a fifth (say), regenerate and see if they play then. MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

I let it sit for a few days and now it is working. So I will move on until the next time. Thanks to all for the help. i5-3210 laptop. Win 10 Home. 2.5ghz, 64 bit. 6gb RAM. Focusrite Scarlet 2i2.
