Transmitting notes
Hi all, after a power failure, on Powertracks 13 I could no longer hear notes. When I go to events and select a note and hit "transmit" I can not hear it. The notes play fine when I play the sequence. Every thing else seems to work fine. I think it's a routing problem.

caplive,
I'm not quite fully understanding what you mean. To clarify....When you talk about transmitting notes, does this mean you are sending them to an external MIDI instrument?
Also, when you say the notes are fine when you play the sequence, are you playing the notes on an external keyboard?
Regards,
Noel

First, the sequences are complete and play fine. Lets say I want to edit a drum track. I select that track, find the place I want to edit. Then I select the event list and look for F#3. If I want want to see what F#3 sounds like I hit the Transmit button (on the event list), I should hear it in the phones or speakers, but I hear nothing.
Now if I solo the same track and hit play I hear it fine.

caplive,
The audition instrument patch sound (I believe you call it transmit) and the midi file instrument patch sound generated during playback come from different sound modules.
The audition instrument patch sound is generated by your Windows or Mac operating system default general midi sound module.
Playback is generated by whatever you have selected in midi options or in the track.
Open your Windows control panel sound settings and check that midi is not muted or the fader is turned down.

Yep, that button (and some other features) use *only* the Windows default device .. no PT setting will change that.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I believe the above responses misunderstand your problem. The transmit button in the event list (F2) sends midi to whatever sound source is selected in the MIDI driver setup. If it is an external synth, then the default VSTi should not be selected.

Now if I solo the same track and hit play I hear it fine. Apparently he is using 'whatever sound source is selected in the MIDI driver setup'. He can hear it when it plays. How would that occur on a synth other than the selected MIDI driver? Unless he is using a synth on another specified MIDI port, in which case the 'default synth' advice is still in play. But he doesn't mention that. Maybe PT default synth or Windows, but I've always wondered what the 'Move Selected device to top' button affects. I know it makes it first port .. Maybe it would help??

Hi, Everything in the same port. Using a Focusrite Scarlett sound module. I have the Coyote as default. Also, re-route MIDI playback to default dxi/vsti synth is selected.
Remember, I have 160 sequences all play fine.
