    Good evening,
    I'm having a problem with Cubase 15 on a Windows 11 Pro system. Basically, when I import a MIDI file, I see all the tracks but I can't hear anything. I tried installing Halion, but to no avail.
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks

    On import Cubase should, provided its still set as default, import a midi file with appropriate voices, to tracks mapped to a single instance of Halion Sonic (please note this is not Halion).

    Check your "routing" panel on the track - what is it pointing to? For a MIDI track to make a sound you have to be pointing it at something that makes a sound (like a synth, standard midi, drum machine, etc...) otherwise it's just a file playing trying to trigger "nothing"...
