No Sound - Mainstage 3

I just installed Mainstage 3 with all of the bells and whistles on my Macbook Pro that has Logic 8/Mainstage 2 already installed. I can see Midi activity when pressing keys on my keyboard but i'm not getting any sound from MS3. The interesting part is that I am getting sound from MS2. Both are setup the same but MS3 is silent.

NOTE: I do have one keyboard Midi'd thru my M-Audio FastTrack Pro, another keyboard direct USB, and I have an Akai LPD8 connected...

MainStage, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Solved: I went to the 'Layout' section, clicked on the keyboard interface, then chose 'All' for the midi input menu on the left.

Hi

First, check that the "keyboard" screen controls are correctly assigned to the correct MIDI Input Port and channel

Also, when the system is loading... I can hear the midi sounds from MS3 but once the screen finishes loading the sound is gone.

I'm having the same problem. My Akai MPK88 triggers sound, but my Roland A-49 Pro does not. Both are getting response in Mainstage's midi activity panel. ***?

Hey thanks for this - just installed a Fishman Triple Play guitar - midi system. Pretty cool but spent all day trying to get output, thanks for the fix

Thank you so much. Did a fresh install of el capitain and it's been **** trying to get main stage , uvi workstation , Logic Pro and kontakt to play nice. Main stage being the main culprit. My concerts were all screwed up. This was the missing piece of info I needed. You are the man!!
