Any instrument must have a working audio output in order to show up as a MIDI destination. Some third party instruments (and effects) will not draw their window if there is no working audio output.
THANK YOU!! I found this and changed the output bundle and the VI window drew itself in! I was able to play a few notes on the keyboard which is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

The easiest way tro deal with this is open a new file, and reset the Output Bundle. Do this by opening the Bundles window, clicking the Output tab to assign the existing stereo bundle to the outputs you want to use on your audio interface. Save this as a New File template, and now whenever you create a new file, the existing audio outputs will be properly assigned.

Will do. I have a MOTU Ultralite that I will be using. I haven't yet connected it as I was just diddling around with DP to get a feel of things.
