My 2 Cents :mrgreen:

1) Check MIDI input is set to ALL Ins or the light will flash but the track maybe listening on the wrong channel.

2) Try matching the inputs and outputs

For APRO 1 and APRO 2 the output is APRO out
For APRO MIDI IN it is APRO MIDI OUT

unless you plug in external midi into ur APRO MIDI ports you can turn APRO-MIDI IN and APRO MIDI OUT ports off. But that alone should not cause any problem ideally.

IF all this fails,
Cross check using a standalone synth or a VST host wrapper that it is not a hardware or driver problem.

Rather than installing another DAW Midi Monitor (Mac) and MIDIoX (PC) are both MIDI monitoring tools which are indispensable for anyone who has any MIDI hardware or wants to do things such as use virtual MIDI cables in software and needs to see what is being sent and where it’s going.

Thanks for pointing out MIDI Ox. I recommended something less tasteless, in hindsight :mrgreen:
