Xpand2 won't play with Midi Controller

[Mike Andress]

Ok I have Xpand2 installed in Sonar Pro. It plays with the Virtual controller How do I make it play with Keystation 42es by M-Audio? I also want to play it in a simple instrument track? How do I do all of that?

At the same location where you set Xpand2’s MIDI track’s input to the Virtual controller, set it to the Keystation and to MIDI Ch. 1 (not Omni)

Make sure the Keystation is transmitting on channel 1

Set the MIDI channel of the Xpand2 MIDI track to Channel 1 (rather than the default “None”)

This is all assuming the Keystation is visible and selected in Preferences - MIDI - Devices, under “inputs”

This is the "Key" advice! First step!

Xpand defaults to Midi channel 1. Make sure the keyboard is set to 1 (or change both to be the same channel.)
