Using USB keystation with cubase sx 3.1.1

23 January, 2008 - 17:42 — soldierism

Im trying to properly connect my midi controller in order to play/record vsts in cubase.
I watched the tutorial on this site (link below)

http://www.maketunes.com/articles/cubase-tutorial-video-audio-midi-setup

Everything is normal until I get to the Direct music page. On my cubase, there are no devices listed on that page.

However, I am still able to select my midi keyboard as the 'in' for any midi channel I choose in the project window. But it simply does not respond when I press the keys.

(I have of course made sure the channel is not muted)

Any ideas?

Been a while since I last used Cubase myself, but I do recall having to select the appropriate midi device in a couple of places before the connection was made... once was on the left hand side of the midi track i was working on - midi in setting you mentioned i think.

But the other... hmmm... isn't it in the VST instruments window? Selecting the incoming midi device for the vst instrument you're wanting it to play? I could be wrong but it sounds familiar...
