I just unhooked all my MIDI output hardware, opened up a copy of PT 11 and duplicated your situation here.

Got it so that the VSC was selected, but could only see the notes on the MIDI keyboard as I played, but could hear nothing.

Here's how I got it to work for me:

Options -> MIDI Devices and checked Rerout to DXi, then made sure VSC DXi was selected in the dropdown window.

Preferences -< Audio and made sure that "Enable Input Monitoring" is checked on the RH top of the window. Then selected ASIO drivers (M-Audio Delta ASIO).

Be sure to check, "ASIO always on" while in that window.

HIt Okay and you should be able to play the VSC DXi in realtime and hear it while the onboard piano keys indicate which keys you are playing. Hit the VU meter icon and you should see activity on BOTH the Input and Output side as you play.

Select the first available track in Tracks View, then RightClick below the trackname area, select "DXi synth 1". Leave the track selected (number turns red).
