Default Can't hear third midi track

Hi, I'm very new to Reaper and I have a problem playing back a midi track. I recorded three tracks, one after another, using MT Power Drum. Track 1 no prob, track 2 no prob, but track 3 doesn't play back. I can see the 'needle' jump as I play the Reaper keyboard (but no sound), and the notes appear on the track. But I can't hear them when I record and I can't hear them on the playback. For reference I'm going through Focusrite 2i2. I guess (I hope...) I simply haven't pressed a significant button. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, Master Send is checked. For reference (in the same box) it says 'Parent channels 2-3. Track channels 2.

Parent Channel should normally be 1/2 (unless you're deliberately doing something unusual). Check what the working tracks are set to.

Is the Input Monitoring button enabled on the Track (Track Input & Monitor options are also accessible via Right-Click on the Track Record-Arm button)?

Otherwise: If the MT Power Drum plugin is not inserted on all Tracks: check if Track 3 has a Send to the Track with the MT Power Drum plugin on it.

OK, I changed the parent channels to 1-2, no change. but (eureka) I right-clicked the record button and the 'monitor input'was NOT checked. I checked it and all seems good now. Many thanks to all for your support, very much appreciated.
