Hello,
Question from an infrequent DP user here... how do I turn on MIDI monitor so that I can hear notes in the piano roll window as I select them or edit velocities? Thanks!

You're probably targeting a virtual instrument. The virtual instrument is probably not set to run in realtime. Two things you can do. Record enable the MIDI track and that will temporarily put the VI to run in realtime, or choose "run in realtime" from the mini-menu at the upper right in the DP window for that VI.studioj wrote:Hello,

Re: How do I turn on MIDI out in the piano roll?
Thanks for the reply! That doesn't seem to work... both things were already on... in PT11 and Logic there is simply a MIDI out button that you engage to turn on the MIDI monitoring for that window so that when moving notes and trimming velocities and such you get feedback from the sound... I wondering what I'm missing. If i play on the keyboard I do get sound and of course on playback it is fine. Perhaps this is just a workflow difference in DP? I haven't used DP heavily since v3 so I can't really remember on way or the other.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: How do I turn on MIDI out in the piano roll?
I only gave you the common solution that happens with VIs. Ever since MOTU introduced pre-rendering of VIs in DP6, if the VI is not set to "run in realtime," selecting a note when editing or moving a note will not sound a note no matter what. (Unless you rec-enable the MIDI track, which will switch the VI it targets into real-time mode.)
If you've done that and you still don't hear a sound when selecting a MIDI note or moving MIDI notes, there may be a toggle setting somewhere for that. Am I really going to have to launch DP to search for it. Yes... I guess so. Sleep later.
Okay... see the graphic below. There's a little button with a speaker icon on it at the upper right of the control panel. Make sure it's turned on.
