Hey everyone,
I just bought a microKorg XL, which I absolutely LOVE, however, one of the main reasons i bought it was to work as a controller for Pro Tools, which I also recently purchased, and I haven't been able to figure it all out. I installed the usb-midi driver and the editing software works fine, but Pro Tools doesn't seem to be getting a midi signal from the keyboard... Any help is welcome!

Thanks!

If the editor works then this is a protools issue.

I think I've read a few times about people having problems with protools and MIDI ports, but I don't know much about it as I don't use it.

thanks, I just tested the microKorg with garageband and it works fine so it is definitely something with Pro Tools. Any of you experienced Pro Toolers know what to do?

Ok that makes sense.

It was a pretty dumb mistake on my part: there were two different choices for midi input on the instrument track on Pro Tools (something like Mkinput and Mkkb) and I thought the Mkinput made more sense so for some reason I didn't try the other one. Well, turns out that when I tried the other one everything worked Smile
