Default Trouble getting my Midi controller to trigger Vst

Hello all,

I hooked up an old keyboard to my Mbox2 to use as a controller in Reaper and I am having an issue.

on my track I have it set to Input:MIDI > my controller > All Channels

I have my track armed and ready to record.

When I press on my midi controller I can see my track light up and receive signal.

I load up a vst (I'm using Dexed), and it makes sound if I press on the virtual keys (within the Dexed interface), but not when I press on my midi controller.

If I hit record in Reaper and start pressing on my midi controller, I get no sound, but midi data is being recorded. When I stop recording and playback, I can hear the Dexed sounds in the pattern of which I hit my controller.

How do I get my controller to trigger my vst synth?

OK, UPDATE:


this time I loaded up Dexed into the Input FX chain. When I do this and press my midi controller, I can get the virtual keys in Dexed to light up, though still no sound. Also, this time when I press the virtual keys I get no sound.

When I record, I still can record midi data, but no sound upon playback.

Do you have Input Monitoring enabled on the Track, as well?
