I have a Roland R-5 drum machine, Cakewalk, and a Yamaha UX16 USB MIDI interface. I can't get any sound from patterns in Cakewalk.
When I hook the R-5 to the UX16 and turn on the R-5, the UX16's MIDI in light blinks about every half second. This is without playing any pattern and without starting Cakewalk. If I tap a key more quickly than every half second, the MIDI in light blinks with the new frequency.
After starting Cakewalk, the MIDI in light blinks as before, but now the MIDI out light blinks in time with any pads I tap.
In Cakewalk's track view, In is set to MIDI Omni, and Out is set to 1-YAMAHA USB OUT 0-1. 1-YAMAHA USB IN 0-1 is selected as the MIDI Device Input (this is the only option) and 1-YAMAHA USB OUT 0-1 as the MIDI Device Output (the other option is Microsoft MIDI Mapper).
If I start recording then tap pads on the R-5, both the MIDI out and MIDI in lights on the UX16 blink. The MIDI out blinks with the frequency that I tap or every second, whichever is faster, and the MIDI in with the frequency that I tap or every half second, whichever is faster.
After recording, the piano roll shows that the sounds which I tapped have been recorded to the appropriate note numbers. On playback the UX16's MIDI out light blinks in time with the notes. However, there is no sound. The MIDI in light blinks once every half second.
If I manually write a pattern in the piano roll and then play it, the MIDI out light blinks in time but again there is no sound. Again, the MIDI in light blinks once every half second.
Through everything, the MIDI in light does not stop blinking. Even with no pattern being played or any programs being open, the MIDI in light blinks with the half second frequency.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions for solutions.
