F#2 not playing after opening up an older DP file

I have a very odd problem. I took an older file from last year and opened it. It only has 3 or 4 tracks on it. DP asked me if I wanted to update the legacy instruments on the track and I said yes. This was an idea/scratch track and I was only running 3 instruments: Spectrasonics Trillian; Spectrasonics Stylus; and either the Ivory piano or an Arturia piano. When I play F#2 on my Doepfer LMK4 MIDI Master Keyboard controller, nothing happens. No notes play. So I opened the MIDI monitor to see what was happening. It sees the MIDI keyboard perfectly, just no note is triggered. It DOES play back the F#2 perfectly. And in fact, when I opened an event list for the piano and tried to manually enter an F#2, it triggered the software instrument! But as soon as I stopped trying to add a note via the even list, nothing. And it is not just the piano, it is the bass as well. This is a completely separate instrument being played on a completely unique MIDI track with the exact same result.

To be safe, I opened up another file that DP had not upgraded and everything was working perfectly. I then copied three tracks, the piano, the drums and the bass and created a brand new file and pasted the MIDI in. Works perfectly. F#2 is now just a normal key. All I did I was take the files that DP upgraded and copied just the MIDI content into a brand new file. Once I did that, it worked just fine.

I opened another older (2018) DP project and the same thing just happened! And again, just the F#2!

Any ideas?
Thanks.

Sounds like you might have your MIDI commands engaged. shift-L and uncheck/deselect the Master Master at the top of the commands list.

:D That solved it!!! Thanks.Not even sure what this Master Master does ... never used it before. It must default to being on in this latest version of DP. Thanks again!

DP gotcha NO. 2. No. 1, my data disappeared (check the view filter).

I thought those masters turned on/off the various COMMANDS, but it seems no matter which master I turn off, the spacebar still toggles play/stop.
