Friends of mine are setting up their production studio, and we just
installed a new pc for running Reason and stuff.

They're using an M-Audio usb keyboard controller.

Here's where the conufsion comes in. If it's connected via USB, the
pc sees it, Reason sees it. I can select it as a midi in source and
assign it through one of the busses to an instrument. However, when I
arm that instrument's track and hit "record", it doesn't record any
midi notes. Keyboard is still playing the synth, but the sequencer
isn't recording anything.

Now, if you use a straight midi cable through the Emu sound card
instead of usb, it still is seen by Reason, still controls an
instrument, but this time, when you arm the track, it sees midi data
and records notes.

Any ideas? This is a stumper to me - I've had very little practical
experience with midi.

Thanks.

Yes, that is kinda nifty...

For some reason (ha! I crack me up sometimes!!!) it just started
working with the usb connection this afternoon.

Go figure.
