Seeing as I can use the keyboard with a different program then it can’t be my PC set up and must be something to do with the way Cubase is set but I can’t see what as I’ve covered everything off. When I select MIDI from the Halion control panel and choose channel 1 (or any other) it isn’t receiving the MIDI data from the external keyboard - yet I can see there is some from the transport. Anything internal works fine - eg if I create a VST track and bring up Halion Sonic SE editor I can play the virtual keyboard at the bottom and hear the notes.

Unfortunately I don’t have another MIDI device to try it with to see what happens. But none of them work to get the MIDI data to the track. I’ve set it to all inputs, MPK mini and then used either all channels and even tried each channel individually. Then running Cubase with a MIDI track I can see MIDI data arriving from the transport bar. I’ve just used the keyboard with the free midi program and found that the Akai MPK is using track 1. Hopefully it’s just something very simple that I need to do and I’m now issuing this cry for “HELP” in the hope that some kind forum member will save my sanity! Whether you're a producer, creator, or just starting out, Melodics offers guided lessons for everyone in genres spanning everything from hip-hop to electronic to pop. Learn to play your AKAI MPK Mini with Melodics - the best way to master all 25 keys and MPC-style pads. I’ve got monitor and record enable ticked on the tracks and am now at my wits end to understand what I’ve done wrong. 60 free lessons, including 2 free courses for your MPK Mini. I’ve tried using a simple MIDI track and I’ve tried an Instrument track with Halion Sonic SE but nothing. I’ve tried selecting the keyboard for input and all MIDI for input. I even get MIDI data coming in as I can see from the transport control. So I can now see it saying MPK Mini all over the place. Up until today I couldn’t even see the MPK Mini in the MIDI Port window but it’s there now after I changed the USB port I was using. I’ve recorded a MIDI track in MultiTrack Studio and then imported that into Cubase - and that works fine! Just can’t do it directly. I can record and playback without problem. I’ve run a different MIDI program (MultiTrack Studio - just the free version) and it works fine in that.

I’m operating a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit system on a laptop. However at the moment I can’t get Cubase to record the inputs from the keyboard. (And I’ll be looking to buy the Akai EWI 5000 just as soon as it’s available and I can get Cubase to work). So I want to simply record MIDI straight into Cubase. I’m really a baritone sax player but want to play about with MIDI to create parts for my Ensemble and I can then email everyone a file so that they can learn their parts. However I’ve never managed to get it working properly and gave up - until now when I need it to work. It came with the Akai MPK Mini (USB) keyboard and I upgraded it to get to Elements 6. Hello - I’m new here (but well used elsewhere!)
