Jörg Andreae Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 The two controllers from Native Instruments: A25 & A49 cannot be used on Bandlab or Sonar X2. I have now understood that I am not allowed to install and use both on the same PC. But even with one of them it doesn't work, the PLAY, STOP, REC: etc. buttons don't work. I have been trying to get advice on the Internet for several weeks - without success. For a while I made sure that only one of the two devices was activated at any one time, but apparently installing the second device is enough. You here are my last port of call. If that doesn't help either, I'll sell both parts. So, do you have any advice...? Translated with DeepL.com (free version) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reginaldStjohn Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Have you tried following a tutorial or the manual? I am sure that these will work with Cakewalk if setup properly. https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=ExternalDevices.03.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jörg Andreae Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 (edited) Vor 12 Stunden sagte reginaldStjohn: Haben Sie sucht, ein Tutorial oder dem Handbuch zu folgen? I tried for several weeks to get advice on the Internet - without success. I mentioned that above. Unfortunately, Cakewalk is often not listed by the manufacturers of master keyboards or requires other settings. I'm asking about these here...

reginaldStjohn Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 There is a guy names @azslow3 on here who created his own midi control software from the Cakewalk source that they open sourced a while back. He would have more information. Check out his web site. He may have a solution for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelm Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Hi, the S Series mark one keyboards work fine with Cakewalk, including the transport controls. There may be some differences with the A series, but it should work, according to some other threads on this forum. Please see below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have more information. Check out his web site. He may have a solution for you. Yup. A25/A49 are M32 with different keys (at least originally). So the same solution should work. https://www.azslow.com/index.php/topic,604.0.html In short, it provides more functions then this device provides in other DAWs. BTW that solution is easy to find, even with (degrading more and more...) Google. I had to record YouTube video to make that happened (Google almost ignore everything without related videos...). Should not take "several weeks" 😏 PS. using two identical (from computer perspective) devices without unique IDs (MIDI keyboards are such) is looking for troubles. Especially with Cakewalk, but not only with it. Replace one of it with different brand. PS.PS. If you are ready to sell these devices just because you don't get DAW integration, both in fact can be wrong choice for you. NI keyboards are primary to control KK instruments, that works (almost) independent from the DAW integration. As clearly visible from the list of usual features, NI has added generic DAW controls as a "small extra" (except for Maschine with corresponding controller).
