Komplete Kontrol S61 connectivity issues

[Albert De La Vega]

Hi, I had been working with some level of success using Komplete Kontrol S61 as a MIDI controller (Thanks to the YT video by XEL Ohh, a real champ).  But all of a sudden, it does not work. 

To elaborate, it does show up as a midi device and ACT controller in "Preferences" and when I hit any of the keys (A 6  in this case in the Staff track) it is recognized by Cakewalk....but no sound or midi activity in the TRACK view.  I have deleted and reinstalled ACT controller but to no avail.  To make sure it wasn't a hardware issue, I installed a trial version of cubase and everything works as it should.  Any suggestions?  I dont want to leave Cakewalk.  thanks

Try it with the Komplete Kontrol DAW-1 ticked in both input & output sections. But that shouldn't affect the playable keys.

Then set the Ctrl Surface to the KK-DAW-1 instead of the MIDI portion.

Thank you so much for your response, it works.  Is there a correct way to add another controller?  I have a Sparrow 4x100 by Midi Maker that I want to use to control CC parameters but when I tried adding it, that's when KK61 stopped working.  Thanks again and sorry, that's the last question I promise

I have the Sparrow 4 installed as a MIDI device and it works flawlessly.

The [redacted] control surface in the above screenshots also works flawlessly but is limited function due to just using the MCU emulation. I don't have function of the 'loop' button, but don't care. 

All devices play together well for many years now.

Thank you for your reply, it was an ridiculously stupid mistake.  Had not selected midi omni to allow all controllers to send data
