MIDI problem with DP/NL3, It's Official, I Don't Know What I'm Doi Options

[unclehighbrow]

So here's the deal:

G4 350 - 10.2.6 - DP 4.1 - Midisport 2x2 - Nord Lead 3 OS 1.04

I'm trying to get Midi set up with the Nord, and DP lets me record, but it won't play back. I think the problem is not with any Nord settings because the Midisport's midi out lights are not flashing during the playback. I also think I used the Midi setup utility right. It automatically recognized the Midisport, and then I told it I also had a Nord. I tried to use the connectors in the application to connect to the two, but they didn't seem to do anything. In DP, the every midi output is set to a Nord device group, to no effect.

So, basically, I'm hoping there's some very simple setting in DP or Midi setup that I'm missing. Any ideas?

Thanks to all
Will

How about the MIDI Patch Thru?
Is it on Auto Channelize? It should be.

I'm just trying to think of anything that would keep you from hearing playback of MIDI tracks.

One other thing to check: Make sure your MIDI setting on the Nord is set to receive MIDI instead of in "Local" mode. It should be in a MIDI menu or master setup menu there somewhere on the Nord that let's you select Receive MIDI or Local only... which you would have had to record the Nord track with it on MIDI receive, then switched it (by accident) to Local so it couldn't play back the recorded MIDI data. This probably didn't happen to you.

Another thing -- you DO have a MIDI cable going MIDI OUT of the MIDISport going to MIDI IN on the Nord, I trust. Some folks starting out think you just need one MIDI cable. Need 'em both, of course.

Dunno, bro.

Befuddled.
