JAL Bass in Rapture Session?

Hi-
 
I loaded Rapture Session for the first time and started with the Bass Guitars from the Rapture Pro Factory Library just to get a feel for what it was like. I only have the demo of Rap Pro installed, so maybe that's the problem.
 
The "OSC 4String JAL" patch gives me different, seemingly random pitches even when I play the same keyboard key. Is the pitch tied to velocity somehow? I can't play an octave to save my life. I haven't changed the default settings. The pitch is sometimes lower when I play higher on the keyboard. In other words, it's anyone's guess what note will sound when a given key is played.
 
The "OSC 6String Amped JAL" plays in tune.
 
The "OSC 6String JAL" patch produces no sound at all, regardless of what range I play in. I do see the notes on the keyboard light up, however.
 
Is the JAL bass a special case I can read up on somewhere?
 
My Dim Pro and Rapture Classic sounds seem to be okay.
 
Thanks!

    I have Rapture Pro full version and Rapture Session. I loaded Rapture Session up and loaded each of the patches you list. All played as expected except for volume. There was a volume difference with all three. I used the Def Tech1 Bs mid file from the MIDI library.

    Hi John-
     
    Thanks for checking. I'll try playing a MIDI clip; I was trying them out by playing directly from my keyboard. Maybe it's just a fluke with the Rap Pro demo.
     
    BTW, I don't have any particular interest in this patch, but it's the first one I tried after loading Rapture Session and the results were--surprising! I seem to have a knack for finding things that don't work quite right for me in SONAR lately, including apparently random loss of connection to my audio interface. But that's another story...
     
    Thanks again-

    There's no guarantee rap-sess and rap-pro are using the  same physical set of files. In fact my rap-sess and dim-pro have two sets of identical files, 3/4 gig of space. So corruption in one would not be reflected in the other.

    W10 pro, Sonar Platinum, Alesis Multimix 16 FW, MOTU Express 128, Gigabyte Z370 HD3P, i7 8700K, 16 Gigs, ssd + 2 X 2T disks, D50-MEX, JV80, A90EX, M1REX

    I should have said that I too used my keyboard as well as a clip. I omitted it because I didn't think it mattered.
