Cakewalk Does Not See Korg NanoKontroller2

[rmchallen]

I recently purchased a Korg Nanokontroller2. I followed all the steps to installation as I understood them: I installed what I believe to be the latest driver (2/21); I simultaneously pressed the set and record buttons while powering it up, which I understand puts in "Sonar" mode. (The record light blinks.) I have only a midi keyboard connected to my computer. ( A Dell Inspiron 3880, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10400 CPU @ 2.90GHz, 12 GB RAM)  When I  open Cakewalk, the NanoKontroller2 is not listed in Midi Devices or Control Surfaces. I tried reinstalling the software. All to no avail.  It does appear as a device in Control Panel. Any help would be appreciated.

What MIDI driver mode are you using in Preferences -> MIDI -> Playback and Recording ?

If it's set to UWP, try setting it to MME.

You'll need to make sure you close all projects to switch MIDI driver mode.

Thank you for your reply. It is set to MME. In fact it is grayed out and seems to be the only driver mode available to me.

I should point out that I use a Tascam US 144-mk II interface for MIDI input.

And the Nanokontroller is plugged into that? You won't see the Nanokontroller, only the TASCAM.

Yes. I’m sorry that wasn’t clear. I was just trying to make the point that Cakewalk was seeing MIDI input through that device. Thank you for your reply.
