No sound from plugin alliance synths [solved]

[Ears]

I have an issue with a few of my VST's, I think all my problem VST's are from plugin alliance. Knifonium, BX_Oberhausen..

The track receives a midi input signal but no sound plays back from the synth, the only way I can get sound is if I put scaler2 on my Input FX.

I have Input:MIDI > M-Audio Keystation 88 MK3 > All channels

No problem with other VST's.

Any idea why I can only get playback with Scaler on my input chain?

Thanks

Figured out the problem.

My Keyboard was sending midi on channel 15, and Knifonium and Oberhausen (+ some other PA stuff) can only receive midi on channel 1. Midi input through Scaler sends midi out on channel 1, that's why I could only get them to work with Scaler on my Input FX.

Works without Scaler now my keyboard is set to channel 1.

You can put some JSFX before synth to send all MIDI data to channel 1, so you'll always get sound.
For example, JS: ix/MIDI_Tool II is capable of it. Just set Input channel to Any (it is set by default) and set Output channel to 1.

Oh that's neat, added it to my track template.
Works nicely, thanks.
