Hello, can I use a USB midi controller, not keyboard, to use on the instruments in Magix Music Maker? If so, any recommendations? Thanks

Yes you can. Instruments have midi learn so you can connect knobs on a midi controller to knobs within instruments. Whether you can save these settings probably depends on the keyboard. This would have to have the ability to save setup (scenes) to recall them. There is something called hist learn as well but I'm not sure what this means.

Can you point me to the general area to look into for this "midi learn" ?

@RMagix-BMagix In Music Maker this depends on the plugins you use. Usually, for Vita Instruments you can right click on any control you see in the instruments GUI, activate MIDI learn in the right click menu, then wiggle a control on your MIDI controller to pair it with the GUI control.

Other plugins may work differently. If the plugin doesn't have a MIDI learn functionality you need a different DAW that has the ability to pair any plugin parameter to a MIDI controller. Music Maker is deliberately feature limited and doesn't have this feature.
