loyd Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Cannot see midi input in the devices section of Midi. Where should I look to make sure my keyboard is recognised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsinger Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 If you don't see it then CbB doesn't recognize it. To see if the computer does check Sound, video and game controllers in Device Manager. Also MIDI-Ox is a useful tool for debugging MIDI setups. http://www.midiox.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Dickens Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 For some reason no one ever answers this question but here goes: Is it plugged into a USB hub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where should I look to make sure my keyboard is recognised? What keyboard did you plug in? And yes, the tips above ^^^ are all good ones. The computer first needs to recognize the USB device, before any audio software can use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Most name brand keyboard controllers have a midi driver so check the support pages and be sure to install that instead of using the generic version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably something to look into when controller shopping, if that is an important factor for you. Not really an issue for me as I rarely run more than one MIDI application or DAW at a time. For example, I bought an Arturia KeyLab Mk II this year. From the Arturia manual: Quote KeyLab mkII is a class-compliant USB device, so its drivers are automatically installed when connecting to a computer. Your controller keyboard will be ready to use within a few seconds after power-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 The difference for me is my devices that have factory drivers can be turned on with Cakewalk running and they will connect. My generic driver devices require I re start Cakewalk for them to work. Otherwise I guess there’s no big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was just saying not to expect that from new controllers, at least until you verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
