MIDI No Recording device detected

I have a Casio CDP-220R. I have used midi-ox to check it is properly connected to the computer (input and output). I have just got Music Maker Plus and it recognises the device so I have selected it. However, when I press record, it says "Recording cannot be started. No recording device connected. Please check your audio settings."

I have fiddled with audio playback settings too, in case the driver matters - I have tried Wave driver, Direct sound. and Music Maker ASIO. It makes no difference.

Note when it is selected in Music Maker, midi-ox says it can't find the memory to connect, which the help page says is because it is connected to another device, so I am pretty sure it is connected to Music Maker.

The computer I am using is Windows 10. I am very new to this - what do I do next?

@John-G-Wood First of all, you need to click on the REC button in the track header of the track you want to record on, until it shows MIDI REC. Then you will record MIDI. If it shows AUDIO REC it will record audio. In case Windows blocks recording audio, please enable microphone access in the Windows privacy settings.

Make also sure you have an ASIO driver selected under Audio/MIDI in the Music Maker program settings or otherwise you will not hear playing your MIDI notes during recording. Set your audio inputs and outputs by opening the ASIO driver settings via the Advanced button.

Ah, thank you! It was the MIDI REC step I missed. All working now!
