Got a midi cable running from my keyboard (Suzuki Digital ensemble HP-150ex electric piano) to the midi in of my aardvark. The notes show up but i cant hear them.

Feb 21, 2005 04:28 pm are you using a midi synth? VSTi or DXi? midi is not audio, it just triggers audio from another source, ya gotta route the midi track to some kinda sound device.

Feb 21, 2005 04:57 pm So what sound device do you think i should route it to??
Its just my keyboard, playing through midi. Ive tried putting the drum synth on it. It seemed to work, but no sound again.

Feb 21, 2005 11:56 pm I'm not sure if this is your problem but you may need to load a VST instrument and then set that as your output on the MIDI track.

Feb 22, 2005 01:11 am i think you are confusing midi with analog. your piano should have analog 1/4" outs.. just record those rather than midi. midi requires a sound module (something to trigger), either in your keyboard or in your computer.
Feb 22, 2005 01:03 pm nah, here ya go, go to insert > vst or dxi synth (it'll insert two tracks, one midi, one audio, then route your midi out of your keyboard to the midi channel of your v-instrument
record the midi (not audio)...

Feb 22, 2005 04:22 pm Cheers guys.
And also i downloaded a lotta synth plug ins from KVR etc., but they dont show up as plug ins in the plug in list.
Any ideas?
Feb 22, 2005 04:24 pm they aren't plugins, they are virtual instruments.
Feb 22, 2005 04:40 pm ok....... lol, how do i make them work then?
Feb 22, 2005 05:09 pm go to devices and then vst instruments click on a empty slot and pick it from your list
