Session Bassist - Upright Bass Melody

I can hear the keyboard notes when played. But for some reason I can not trigger any bass sounds in the DAW or Standalone! I have spent many hours trying to resolve this, any help would be much appreciated!

    Good news!! I finally got both keyboards to trigger base sounds in both the DAW and Standalone! Please don't ask me how I did it, luck I guess. I'm 80 years old and many of the terms and procedures necessary to make this stuff happen are not part of my everyday life! I enjoy the challenge however - troubleshooting is part of my DNA. Don't watch TV, don't care about the Kardashians or the NFL.

    Thanks Jeremy for you help!

    I'm a little bit confused here. So you play the keyboard you hear the sound, do you mean a physical keyboard or the onscreen keyboard?

    Thanks for your reply! Both onscreen keyboard and a physical keyboard trigger a piano sound in the DAW or Standalone - the problem is neither triggers Session Bassist - Upright Bass - Melody - in the DAW or Standalone!

    I can use either keyboard to select among Open, Muted, Flageolet or Bow!

    Jeremy - I don't hear the keyboard sound through the midi keyboard speaker. I have that volume turned off - I hear the piano sound through the computer monitor speakers. Which is where the audio goes after it leaves Session Bassist. I hope this clears the air!

    OK I made that change now I have no sound coming out anywhere. I should be able to monitor the bass note when I play them!

    OK - Finally I can trigger the bass notes from the on screen keyboard. However I can no longer trigger any sound with the remote keyboard! It's gettin' better just this one last issue!

    @Zeke You're welcome, glad that you managed to make it work, even if by trial and error (best way to make music imho) don't hesitate if you need more help, there are many other users out there that are glad to help too. It's a lot of information and can be a steep learning curve but I'm sure you'll make great things with this mind set!
