Setting Up Network Tonight for First Time

Hi,

I have the network setup on 2 computers, a DAW (Sonar) and a computer running the VSL library (VSL Ensemble Pro). It’s a simple setup, midi data moves in one direction, from DAW to VSL. That’s it, no looping, no sending midi data to more than one port.

There are 5 midi ports, ports 1 and 2 are working fine, but 3 does not sound, port 4 isn’t currently being used, and port 5 is playing the instruments that should be playing on port 3.
Port 1=winds, port 2=brass, port 3=percussion, port 4=choir, port 5=strings. The strings are not sounding at all.

I set each port up identically, on the DAW (master):

In: MIDI Port 1 virtual in —–> Out: VSL: Winds Virtual.
In: MIDI Port 2 virtual in —–> Out: VSL: Brass Virtual

In: MIDI Port 3 virtual in —–> Out: VSL: Percussion Virtual.

In: MIDI Port 4 virtual in —–> Out: VSL Choir Virtual

In: MIDI Port 5 virtual in ——>Out: VSL Strings Virtual

I opened the 5 ports in the DAW and the 5 ports in the VSL computer.

Why is port 3 (percussion) playing on port 5 and port 5 (strings) are not playing at all?

Thanks,

Jerry
