Piano Roll manual MIDI input doesn't play

Hello again,

When I input MIDI notes using the piano roll, no MIDI is triggered while play.
However, input notes with a MIDI keyboard work as expected.

    Your video doesn't show what the clip is routed to. The midi gets sent to whatever you set as the destination for the yellow midi channel.

    Expand your mixer and post a screenshot so that we can see the routing.

    Thank you.
    This happens only with empty MIDI Roll.

    @cellicello : I am not able to reproduce that. As a troubleshooting step:

    • create a new project using loopy pro’s default
    • delete all the audio loops
    • Add a midi clip
    • Add the free Bleass Monolit as an AU instrument
    • Make Monolit the destination of your midi color
    • Set a tempo
    • Open the piano roll for the clip
    • tap in the keyboard in the piano roll
    • Does it make sound?
    • Place notes on the piano roll
    • Do they sound?

    I did exactly what you asked for.
    The keyboard in the piano roll makes a sound.
    Placing notes in the piano roll doesn't make a sound.

    It seems that if I manually enter a midi note in an empty piano roll, and press first the play button in the midi roll
    notes will play, and also when I start the main play button (clock?)

    Are you saying that playing back that midi loop doesn't make any sound from Monolit?
    The screenshot shows the loop in stopped state. Did you stop it before taking the screen shot?

    I was able to reproduce. It looks like there are a few issues that Loopy Pro isn't handling right in this scenario. Thanks for providing the information.

    The issue is that placing notes in the piano roll sometimes doesn't sound the notes. There seem to be a few factors influencing the issue.
