Hi,
I must be having a dumb day, read lots of the posts and questions on connecting a midi keyboard to MM but I cannot get it to work.

I have Music Maker 16 and the Midistart-3 keyboard.
The keyboard is connected via USB, Vista (64 bit) says drivers are installed fine.

In the program settings / midi tab, I see the midi input device as "Hua Xing".

Then I am lost, I think I am creating a midi VST, but not sure, I certainly can make zero sound from the keyboard.

Can someone please write back a dummies step by step guide to how I can use this keyboard please, its driving me nuts.

You seem to have done right so far ...check that you have a midi track armed for midi recording and that the track isn't muted or other tracks on solo.... see if that helps

I did have a "midi rec" set, and there were no other tracks, but still nothing!!
