If you fire up a stand-clone synth, does the keyboard show up in that software's MIDI devices in the options? (taking Sonar out of the equation to test that the keyboard, Windows, and some synth are playing nice together) Not sure what you mean by a 'stand-clone synth.'ĥ. Is this different than Preferences>MIDI>Devices? I believe I'm using the correct drivers.Ĥ. Have you looked at the loaded device drivers for this keyboard in Device Manager, to make sure it shows up there - AND is using the appropriate drivers, AND is showing as working properly? Not sure about Device Manager. Are you sure you are plugging it into a USB 2 port, and not a USB 1 or 3 port? Yes, my computer only has USB 2.ģ. But shouldn't my MIDI device still show up in MIDI > Devices regardless if the cable works?Ģ. Are you sure that USB cable is good? I will try another cable. I don't mind answering all the questions. Sorry to answer your question with a bunch more questions, but it may help to find the problem. I always turn my computer off after I'm done recording. Have you tried that? I have tried that.ĭo you let your computer go to sleep? Don't do that, especially if Sonar is running. Sometimes I have to close and restart X3 to get my MIDI devices to register.

In X3, if you turn on a USB device after the program is opened, you will usually be prompted to use the device. Have you tried connecting the Keystation to a different USB2 port after you installed the drivers? I've tried 2 different USB ports.Īre you turning the Keystation and 2i4 on before you start Sonar? Yes.

I used a Yamaha PSR-550 keyboard for years, but the MIDI on it died.ĭid you install the drivers before or after you plugged in the Keystation? After. You should see the MIDI ports of the 2i4, even though nothing is plugged into them. Hi Robert - By this, do you mean nothing at all, or just no sign of the Keystation? Nothing at all.
