Thx, guys! It is working fine now.
I didn't have a separate midi track to route the midi keyboard to TH3.
I was using Strum GS2 with a separate midi track. TH3 is an effect on the Strum GS2 track.
I assumed that the midi info was automatically passed through to the GS2 instrument track - because it works that way with the midi effects.
I'm using 2 keyboard controllers and nanoKontrol2. Both keyboards have expression and damper pedals.
Is there a workaround to have a single midi track passed to the synth instrument and the audio effects for the synth instrument?
