Cubase SX 2.0 VST Instrument problem

Hey guys, I recently purchased 2.0 and I can't get any of my VST instruments to play FROM Cubase. I can play VST instruments outside of Cubase fine, but inside they don't work.

What's weird is that Cubase definitely sees there is a Midi connection because when I play a note the little signal volume bar goes up, just nothing is played.

I CAN play the VST instruments WITHOUT using my midi keyboard though (just pressing the keys on the screen with my mouse...). I'm sure it's an ID-10T error, but I've looked through the hefty manual and can't figure it out for the life of me.

I'm using a M-Audio 49 keys midi controller and a Soundblaster Audigy sound card. Although I've been a musician for many years I'm a relative beginner to the PC recording scene, so I need help. Thanks in advance.
 
OK. I am being serious here. Buy an M-Audio 24/96. Ditch the SB. The sooner you do this the better you will be.

waddup man, im from cyprus aswell... wat do u think of the m-audio 49keys midi controller?? i wanna get it too...
 
Select the midi track, make sure the inspector is displayed (third button from the right needs to be blue. if it isn't, press it). Then, in the inspector, select "all midi inputs" where it says "in" and select your vsti where it says "out", right below the "in" box. If the vsti ain't displayed, you gotta insert it in your rack first [press F 11 to open the vsti rack]. Now you should be good to go. PM me or reply if it doesn't work.

Cool, thanks for your help guys, it's working now.

Soladee, I just got that midi keyboard a few days ago since my other one went bad. It seems to be good, I like the way the keys feel and plus it's only 100 bucks, so you can't lose.
 
Nevermind, it's not working. I thought it was.

What it seems to be doing is putting the midi notes right on the beat or the next step. If I look at the note editor that's exactly what it looks like, like everything is bunched up together on that particular beat.

I don't think it's latency, either way I've applied the fix for latency and I'm using my M-401 (or whatever the heck the name is) for my Midi connection instead of the emulated port.

Any other suggestions?
 
No, I checked.

I've tried everything I can think of.

It's definitely a default setting with Cubase, so it seems like everyone that uses Cubase and MIDI would have the same problem.
 
Uninstall the program and reinstall it. If you've changed anything that you weren't supposed to, that should set you back to the default settings.
 
I had a similar problem. Cubase would delay all notes for about a quarter count or so. There is a simple fix for it: Go to the cubase Folder open the folder "Midi port enabler". It should contain one object. cut it and paste it in the cubase folder, so it is basically on the same "level" as the folder it used to be in. Let us know if ti worked!

I did that, that's what was first suggested.

I reinstalled it and it still didn't fix anything. (I uninstalled before I reinstalled) I guess I'll just have to dig through the manual, there has got to be some setting that's doing it.
