I just downloaded the free trial version of Studio One. As of now, no external plugins. All I try to do is play midi files. Thought the midi files are loading properly, when I play them, all I get is silence.
While loading a midi file, there is a dialog box 'Do you want to load General MIDI sounds for this file?'. Doesn't matter what answer I give.
In setup on start page I have selected ASIO4ALL v2.
Also when the program is started, I get the error message 'Failed to open Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth!'
I have a feeling my problem has something to do with this.
Any idea on how to get the program to play midi files properly? Thanks.

Keep in mind that not all MIDI files will work well! Many MIDI files use features that are not supported by the sequencer; simple ones work best. Examples: Baba Yetu, Fangad aven korvring, Cliffs of Dover. File: OnlineSequencer.net is an online music sequencer. These free MIDI loops are here because sometimes you need a bit of inspiration. Use them whether you want to start a new project or finish one where you’re stuck and out of ideas. Here we present MIDI loops, hooks and melodies, ready to be loaded into your projects. 'Still The One' MIDI File Backing Track. Still The One is a song recorded by award-winning rock band, Orleans of The United States. Still The One was composed by HALL J/HALL J. This is a professional MIDI File production with karaoke lyrics, compatible with GM, GS and XG devices.

Listen to Eruption.mid, a free MIDI file on BitMidi. Play, download, or share the MIDI song Eruption.mid from your web browser. If you feel one of these midi's is your own personal original composition and has your copyright, and you do not wish it here, please e-mail me (with legal proof only) and I will be more than glad to remove it.

Have you set up your audio device within S1?
Does your device have a driver and if so, is it the latest?
After doing that or if so, you need to map your audio device to the tracks you're using within S1.
To do that, click on 'Input' on a track and it should bring up an 'Audio Setup Panel' provided you've got your device setup correctly.
Lastly, you'll get better, informative help if you post a signature (mine is red at the bottom) with your PC and main gear as we'll be able to see what you're working with.

Try and drag an instance of presence over to the midi track and see if that works.
Fyi, if you are trying to kick the tires for a possible purchase of s1, you will get a better idea of functions by downloading the demo of professional. Fully functioning for 30 days.

Scott- I have a Samsung laptop with i5 3210M @ 2.5 GHz, 6 GB RAM, 1 TB hard drive, running Windows 8. Audio device is Realtek High Definition Audio default device.
The audio works fine with other applications, including Windows Media Player, FL Studio, Anvil Studio, etc. I believe the drivers are current. One thing I observe is, when I have S1 open, it locks up the sound card, preventing other applications from playing any audio (not just midi).
Have attached the message log file created by S1 while loading. (Changed xml extension to txt since this board doesn't allow xml attachments.)
Matthew- How do I drag an instance of presence over to the midi track? I am new to this. Also no point in downloading the professional version till I get the free version working.

Ok, got it. Presence is the Presonus library. Yes, dragged it to a few tracks, but again, dead silence. Even when I played the keyboard in the presence window, I hear no output.

Is there a preset selected or did you just drag the default over?
Do you have a default input device selected? Keyboard? Qwerty Keyboard?
Without know what and how things were set up, it makes it harder to troubleshoot.

It is just the default.
Right now, there is no default input device selected. I am just using the mouse, but I don't think this really matters as far as my problem is concerned, does it?

If you dragged the default Presence instrument onto the track it probably didn't install a soundest ('instrument') to play so looks like this image and has nothing to play.
If so then select an instrument from the drop down Say a keyboard to whatever suits you.

And when you have it should now look similar to this and then should play sounds.

Thanks Steve. Yes, even I was searching for the instrument selection in the Presence panel. Unfortunately, when I click on the dropdown arrow at the top where it says 'default', I get only one value which is '(no presets)'. I am not able to view any instruments. Seems like some library is not getting loaded.

When you get Studio Free did you also register/logon to MyPresonus and get the extra installers that are part of it.. These would be the free Soundset sample pack and free MusicLoop sample pack?
This might be what you are missing!!
BTW My list above in the previous message is my Studio One Pro listing so you would not see as many but you should see some.

Yes, that worked. Thanks! But still wonder why the Microsoft GS Wavetable synth does not work with S1. Although I don't plan on using it for my compositions, it would be helpful if I can play existing midi files without having to manually reassign every track to a Presence soundset instrument.

Another major issue I have with S1 is, as I have mentioned before, it locks up the sound chip, and I am not able to get any audio output from other applications while S1 is open. I checked the Windows audio mixer and the volume settings of the other applications are still normal. Could this problem be because of ASIO4All being installed on my system?
Don't know if others also have run into this.
