Wondering why my MIDI keyboard isn't triggering notes in my track? The keyboard is enabled in the Settings tab. As you can see at the bottom the actual program recognizes the notes I'm playing on the keyboard yet the track does not even tho I have 'Enable Input Monitoring' checked.

Any ideas??

If you're trying to record the MIDI data, the input also needs to be armed. (Click the little red dot you have circled top left.)

Other things to consider: Options > Run audio engine when stopped. And just in case, make sure there is a plugin on the track.
Surely there must be consensus by now...

Thanks for the reply but none of those ideas change my situation (arming the track, option for audio and having an actual synth in the chain (I've tried with Biotek, Fm, Collective)). It's a vexing situation indeed!

Looks like you have the midi filter ignoring channel 1. On means allow channel, off means block.

Doh!! That did it, thanks! Had I looked closely enough I should have realized 'MIDI Filter' means "to filter." Doh again!
