Mixcraft 9 - No midi input recognized with Kontakt plug in.

Post by Silverback »

Hi all.

I'm hoping you can help me out.

When I have a midi track, and use a VST instrument, controlled with my midi keyboard, everything works perfectly.
UNTIL I load up the Kontakt instrument plug in. As soon as it is loaded, the midi input from the keyboard isn't recognized. I can still use the on-screen keyboard in Kontakt, and it works...just no input from the midi keyboard. If I switch that track to a different VST instrument, the midi input is recognized and everything works.

I know that the Kontakt plug in works, because I can use it in Ableton Live 11 with no issues whatsoever.

I've gone through the input settings in Mixcraft and Kontakt, but can't seem to get it to work.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

And you see the MIDI In indicator at the bottom of Mixcraft's screen lighting up?

Check that your Kontakt instruments are set up to receive on the correct MIDI channel. Are the instruments set to a particular MIDI channel, or to Omni?
