DimPro No sound / Noise

I have a thread over here :

http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=1033918

ANyone ever have a soft synth NOT make a sound but another one works fine ?

Sometimes when I load a template of my synths, the synth i choose for the output doesn't play
Dimension Pro, for example.

BUT I'll switch the synth output to TTS1 and I get a sound.
I futz around with input/output to no avail
But then it will work on another midi project

Any help or insight would be appreciated

Thanks

Thanks BRock -

So If I had a 'canned midi song' from the internet, and some of those CC-type messages are in there
can I delete them ?

other thought:
does it have something to do with the insert soft synth dialog box?
Because I dont get that box when inserting via track template
Does it retain the last used selection in that dialog box

Food for thought ?
Or fodder ?
You decide !
Thanks

does this have something to do with NRPN and RPN's

It can't be that.

If I had a 'canned midi song' from the internet, and some of those CC-type messages are in there
can I delete them ?

In the Piano Roll or the Event List. But volume and expression messages would be there for a reason, I would think. CC73? Well, that might be intended to control some other type of destination, so that could be a problem. Global Attack really doesn't 'silence' DimPro, but with quick enough notes, and a high enough setting, the slow attack can make it appear to be silent.

Does it retain the last used selection in that dialog box

Actually, I was thinking of song persistence, mainly because it seems to be silent for you at times, and other times it doesn't. Best guess from long distance (although not that long distance).

If you're just using provided presets in DimPro, chances are that the MIDI Matrix has nothing to do with it. In my kind of stuff, I'll often bind aftertouch or CC1/CC2 to Element Volume, so that has the potential to cause unseen trouble. A direct MIDI Learn ... well, you'd probably be getting visible feedback from the knobs moving.

I had a problem with z3ta+ quite a while back. No matter what I did, the filter sliders would just die out to zero. It turns out that I had Omni set to the track, and an M Audio O8 that I hardly ever used was sending spurious MIDI messages. Evidently, I had opened up MIDI Learn, it picked up the flaky knob transmissions, and I was locked into external 'Remote Control' without even knowing it. It drove me crazy for a while.

Midi matrix ??
On the DimPro interface ?

Press that third icon of four, just to the left of the DIMENSIONPRO logo.

It's blank in both a new project and the one that doesnt work,
the one that doesnt work still doesnt work and the new project created with the same template does
ANd to verify the midi file I imported it into Reason
Works like a champ there

the sys ex banks were all zeroes
and ther event lists only have wheel / control/ bend

whats CC parameter 92 and 95
those were set at zero for my dimensions channe;

Well, starting with NO project template in S6 at startup helped a bit
That's the way I used S5

So I guess I'll try to create a new 'normal' template from scratch, so when I select 'new'
it will use the newly created custom template I create and I'll see how it goes

Thanks to youand BRock for helping me with this
I'll lt you know how it goes

Thanks

and Again - only this time it's random-and not limited to channel 10

Sometimes DimPro works through my template and somtimes not.

So I insert another instance of DimPro, check the sound and the channel.
All ok
Then run my Midi project with a midi track pointed to the newly inserted
DimPro instance after verifying it makes a sound ....
and no sound again.
nothing - not even manually

TS said to uninstall and re-install DimPro, so Off I go !
