Mhmm, seems to look fine to me (judging from that screenshot you posted 
- http://skitch.com/markfrancombe/dw6xm/preferences)

One thing you can use when going troubleshooting is those level meters 
you have at various positions in Live. In that example shot, you have:
    a) the meter next to the "All Channels" text on your "keys" track - 
this is what comes into the input interface for that track.
    b) a meter on the left side of your piano synth - this is the MIDI 
data that goes into the plugin (not necessarily processed by it, though)
    c) a meter on the right side of the synth - that's the audio going out

Same for the other plugins you have here, and then of course the channel 
output's meter (in that mixing console part of the track view, next to 
the fader).

Now, in that situation where nothing works (and I assume you took the 
screenshot when you were specifically in that situation):
Which of those meters move and which do not when you play your keyboard?

(Also, I assume that you dropped your other synth on the track saying 
"10-Ryhtmic" in the track header, is that correct?)
