Tried MIDI in, wont play track patterns now! [resolved]

I’m absolutely flipping out here… I recently got a full size weighted keyboard. I decided to hook it up to the DT to use for input. I connected the MIDI out from the keyboard to the MIDI in of the Digitakt. I pressed play on the DT, and it started playing the pattern. I pressed the power button on the keyboard to turn it on, and about a second later when it had powered up all of the sudden my Digitakt stopped making sound. I unplugged everything. Turned the unit off, then back on. Pressed play. Nothing. Changed to another stored pattern, hit play. I get track one playing only. All tracks are unmuted. I can hit all the buttons and they play the sound assigned to that track, but they just dont play any sequences. HELP!!!

I tried changing banks and patterns, it always only plays track one, none of the patterns on any other track will play. Checked levels, mutes, assigned sounds. As mentioned I can hit the track buttons and get sound, it just wont play what is stored as patterns other than track one.

I unplugged the unit for 5 minutes or so and plugged it back in to no effect. I really dont want to have to factory reset this thing, as It has everything I have created since I got it in July and I obviously cant transfer the patterns out of it.

Also, In my continued troubleshooting even though track one is playing, If I mute it nothing happens. The green light turns off and the sound continues to play. I can enter a new pattern into grid mode, and it play whatever is entered. This is so freaking weird.

please forgive the question, you unplugged the midi cable?

Cc93 I believe activates solo, it something that can only be activated from external midi and there is no real indicator on the digitakt that it is activated. This has happened to a few people on the board, maybe it is the case here.
If you load a new project do all the tracks of audio work?
Edit: There are also 2 types of mute I believe, global and pattern, when tracks are muted they will make sound when you press the trig or play the chromatic keyboard but sequenced stuff will not play

Yes, I just tested and loading a different project or creating a new one seems to fix it.
