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)

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!!

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. ***?

Hi

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

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

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
