Re: Mixcraft 7 - Xpand!2 not working for midi tracks

Post by tomek »

Hi,
I am new to both Mixcraft and Xpand2 and I like them, but sadly I can't get it working together as I wish. I have Win 8 64, Mixcraft 7 (trail), Xpand2(registered). Problem comes when I try to get signal form my Keystation 61 (M-AUDIO). There is no sound. I can get it when using Mixcraft on-screen keyboard(CTRL+ALT+K). All otehr VST works with no problems, only Xpand gives me a troubles. Can you help please?

Hi
I'm reporting same problem

M-Audio Oxygen49 Midi keyboard (usb)
Windows 10 Pro x64
Mixcraft 7 Pro Studio 7.5
Xpand!2 vst (it's free with oxygene49 keyboard)

Every other vst plugins (even external like twist 2) works perfect, only Xpand!2 has problem with keyboard.
Strange thing is because musical typing working correctly, i can hear Xpand!2 samples.
When i record track with Xpand!2 there are registered midi input but Xpand doesnt play
When i move recorded track to other instrument it work.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Chances are that your MIDI keyboard is set to a MIDI channel other than Channel 1. Set your keyboard to MIDI Channel 1 and you'll probably have no problem controlling Xpand!2.

Well I set lanes at Xpand track to channel 1
i set also midi 1 at xpand settings

Is there anything else what can I do to make Xpand work with mixcraft?
I tried it with Ableton live 9 lt (its also part of oxygene keyboard free software) and works immediatelly just as other vst

Hi,

Record some notes with your keyboard and Xpand!2, then save the project and send it to us:
submit an Acoustica Support Request.

Does it play using Mixcraft's Musical Typing Keyboard?
