So the only one of those that would give you any sound would be the VSTi.

1 - sending the midi back to the midi controller wouldn't do anything unless you had a real keyboad (sound module) plugged into its midi out port.

2 - the one to use.

3 - Once again no sound unless you plug in a keyboard to its midi out.

You could try different VSTi's.

Do a test, set up a midi track set it to your VSTi then get a pencil and draw on the lane, like 4 bars, then get the arrow back and double click on what you drew. Then get the pencil and draw some notes, you should hear them as you draw or play what you drew and you should hear it.

If not then your problem isn't the midi but the sound source - getting your VSTi to work.

If you hook up your keyboard to a track and record does it do anything, do you get a recording (data block)? If so you can look at it by highlighting what you recorded and under midi choose list view.

You should see note messages.

Import a midi file and see if you can get it to play on your VSTi to test your VSTi.
