RE: No audio playback monitoring for MIDI tracks only?! Help!
Thanks for your response. My system is very basic at the moment as I need to relearn a lot of things. All I have attached to the PC is a Roland PC200 keyboard controller plugged into the MIDI socket on the Delta sound card interface, communicating on channel 1. I haven't assigned any settings to CCN7 or CCN11 so they shouldn't affect anything I'm doing. I can record MIDI from the keyboard with no problem. I just can't hear the sounds of any patches whether recording, monitoring or playing back. I don't think the problem is MIDI based. I've also uninstalled the sound card (physically removed it, rebooted and reinstalled) and reinstalled the drivers again as well as removed all MIDI drivers with still no improvement. I think its mostly likely to be driver caused or audio/mixer setting I've not known about.

You need to be using some sort of MIDI sound module, either an external hardware unit or a softsynth. Most consumer computer sound cards have a GM sound module built in, but to use it, you would need to physically route the audio output of your computer's sound card to the audio inputs of your 1010 with an audio cable. You can also use any number of softsynths that are readily available, though there aren't many that are GM, so you would have to manually re-assign most instruments when not using GM devices.

When I said I'd assigned instruments correctly to the MIDI channels in MIDI Studio, I meant I'd assigned soft synths to the channels. Even on the session where I've created a single MIDI track, that also had one of the plug in soft synths assigned (a Kurzweil IIRC), on Channel 1, with a patch selected, I had exactly the same problem.
