SAMPLITUDE QUICK START 89
As the playback device (MIDI output device), select the MIDI port you use via the MIDI out
slot (e.g. MIDI out of your sound card or a VST instrument).
If sound cannot be heard when the keys on your device are played, then monitoring likely
needs to be activated. Activate this via the loudspeaker button (MIDI thru) for the respective
MIDI track.
By right clicking the "Mon" button in the transport control provides access to the behavior
of the "Record" and "Monitoring" button. If you activate the options "Automatic MIDI
record switch on current track" and "Automatic MIDI monitoring (Thru)", then the
respectively selected MIDI tracks will be immediately activated for the recording and
monitoring will be switched on for the input signal. If you want to record multiple MIDI
tracks simultaneously, then deactivate the option "Automatic MIDI record switch on
current track".
If you still don't hear anything when you play the keys, make sure that the MIDI out
channel of the MIDI keyboard matches the "channel in" slot in the track editor for the
selected MIDI track.
Ensure that your MIDI synthesizer is sending to the same MIDI channel that you have
selected in the "channel out" slot in the track editor.
