to the program but no sound is out ,

As I understand it, you want to play a virtual instrument with an external keyboard & you're using Cubase. What is the instrument? Are you getting a sound from the virtual keyboard (if there is one) using the mouse? You need to assign the active track to the v.instrument & channel in the info section.

thank grovphil but...

when i open an instument from the vst instrument pop up menu and i play the keyboard with my mouse i can hear the sound. but,when i press a key in my external keyboard i can't hear any sound .
and another thing : when i press a key in the external keyboard i see the red led in
the transport bar lit ,that mean that midi
data is send into the software and again,
i can't hear any sound.

thank's again.

From memory you also have to have the track "armed" for recording, before it works. Otherwise, it sounds like an input problem. For an experiment, cut-and-paste another midi track into the VST Instrument track and see if it plays. That'll narrow down some possibles.

solve the problem.

happy new year .
