Once that particular synth is in view, press F1 for specific documentation on that synth if available. Unfortunately, when I click on the dropdown arrow at the top where it says 'default', I get only one value which is ' no presets '.

I am not able to view any instruments. Seems like some library is not getting loaded. These would be the free Soundset sample pack and free MusicLoop sample pack? This might be what you are missing!!

Yes, that worked. Although I don't plan on using it for my compositions, it would be helpful if I can play existing midi files without having to manually reassign every track to a Presence soundset instrument. Another major issue I have with S1 is, as I have mentioned before, it locks up the sound chip, and I am not able to get any audio output from other applications while S1 is open.

I checked the Windows audio mixer and the volume settings of the other applications are still normal. Don't know if others also have run into this. Try this setting In Preferences..

And when you have it should now look similar to this and then should play sounds. Studio One v2. The sequence has loaded nicely but no playback sound, only a tick tock. I have an Audigy 4 soundcard. If that works, you know MIDI is working. Make sure you have a device driver installed. Set the Output routing to the device driver for that instrument. Make sure the instrument is configured to receive the MIDI. If that is the case, I save and close Cubase, and then restart it, reopen the project, and it works.

I had to switch it back to Channel 1 to get it to play. Then drag the midi events on to the Instrument track. Our alternatively, you can route the output of the midi track to GS Wavetable as Tom suggested. My experience is that the GS wavetable is plagued with poor latency ie a long time between the note in the midi file and when you actually hear it.
