Help: Garritan CFX no sound on Reaper

Hi everyone! Recently I've taken some time out of my busy schedule to learn Reaper basics. I think since I can get Ravel Grand Piano to work there, I might as well get Garritan CFX also. However, after installing the VST plugins (both X86 and X64 in case one doesn't work), I loaded it up. The VST plugin does fire up, and Reaper says "Track 1: Garritan CFX...", but it's silent when I press on any key on my digital piano. the standalone software can work with no problems. I want to ask those who manage their piano plugins on VST, how do you get this to work? I don't think I did anything wrong, just installed the VST plugin on my current installation. I use a Windows 11 PC with the Babyface Pro FS as my external audio device. All midi is output through there. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!! David

Yes, I just loaded the VST bridged. It's still the VST interface. I find that by loading my pianos on Reaper, it saves lots of ram. It used to be that during my CFX standalone, I have to use 14 to 16 GB of RAM, with the system and other processes added all together. Now with Reaper, my total RAM use is only 10 GB or less. It's really cool!
