I am having trouble setting this up. I just have 5 pin DIN MIDI plugged into the Keys coming from my M-Audio Keystation 61. USB is powering the keyboard. I can't get any notes to play.

sounds like you have the keyboard set up to send midi down the USB instead of the out port to me, I don't think it would be anything to do with the midi on the Volca.

could also be the MIDI channel.

I´m pretty sure the Volcas all default to MIDI channel 1.

see if you can get your keyboard to send on "omni" (=all 16 channels) and/or set either the keyboard to channel 1, or the Volca (consult the manual on how to do that) to the appropriate channel.
