Detonate not playing back notes in piano roll

Hey all, this is my first post... bear with me..

I've been using MAX/MSP for over a year now and know the basics. I'm trying to manual enter notes into [detonate] on Windows 10 using delta time + pitch + velocity + duration + channel messages. I can enter them in, see them in the piano roll, but they will not play back. The 'time output parameter' reads 0 for them all. Frustrating! Below is the patch:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

You have the right inlet of [delay] not connected.

Broc - you're right. I'm not sure how that got disconnected!

Regardless, the console window displays the 'time parameter output' from detonate as a string of 0s followed by a -1 when i hit 'start' when I'm pretty sure they should be 200ms delays..

The patch works for me as expected when I do this:
1. send 'record'
2. send note
3. send 'start'

The patch fails when I do this:

1. send 'record'
2. send note
3. send note a few more times. this creates several notes spaced 200ms apart
4. send 'start'

I hear one note, and ‘time parameter output’ prints several 0's and one -1 as the 'delay' between notes..

Strange, sending the note 3 times works well for me (see picture, click to enlarge).
But this is on Mac, there may be an issue with Windows.

Thanks for your help Broc! I was worried this was the reason... real bummer, too, because [detonate] would be really helpful for what I'm trying to do. Kudos!
