Hi Neville, a few questions, sorry if some are obvious. Is Jaws saying "instrument not found" or is it you just have no sound? I have no sound. Have you a second midi keyboard you could try? No Are previous projects playing when you load them? Yes but when I play my keyboard even in previous projects the soft synths still will not play. Is your sound card powered? Yes I use the FW1884 Are all plug sockets and jacks plugged in securely? As far as I know Monitor switched on? yes Monitor levels up? yes Is the level up on your controller keyboard? they maybe set to CC7 so turning the internal softsynths down, I'll have to make sure about that, but I think so May the peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!
