Soft Synth Track Doesn't Play from MIDI Controller

Just upgraded to Platinum.
 
Unable to play VSTs via MIDI keyboard.  Control surfaces move screen counterpoarts so MIDI data is being communicated.  Opening the VST interfaces allows hem to be played with the mouse so there doesn't appear to be an audio issue.
 
Has anyone seen this problem?
 
Thanks.

    make sure your hardware is routed correctly in preferences and in track I/O's
    can you give some details on your spec's please ?

    If the control surface is part of the keyboard, and spinning controls makes the MIDI track's meter move but playing keys doesn't, then it could be that Notes is disabled under preferences > MIDI > playback and recording.

    The first 3 books in "The Musician's Guide to Home Recording" series are available from Hal Leonard and http://www.reverb.com. Listen to my music on http://www.YouTube.com/thecraiganderton, and visit http://www.craiganderton.com. Thanks!
