Can not get midi in with Edirol UM-1EX

I have notebook with Vista 32 and Sonar 7. MIDI interface Edirol UM-1EX. Driver is installed and I see it in MIDI devices in Sonar. It is checked and moved up in the list. MIDI indicator keeps silent. No any messages come from connected keyboard.
Keyboard's midi output works perfectly with another computer.

Need any advice.
Thanks,
Dmitry

    ok your running the vista drivers?

    http://www.roland.com/products/en/_support/dld.cfm?ln=en&dsp=0&iCncd=842

    when u start sonar, it's listed.. but notice on the bottom right of ur screen an icon that looks like a piano with 2 lights. if midi is triggering... one of the lights will flash

    have you got the in > out ... and visa versa on the keyboard side?

    if your getting that light to trigger , it means it's getting input

    Dear Fog,

    Yes I'm running VISTA 32x drivers at my notebook. There is the only MIDI device in the system. The driver is properly (seems to) installed and can be seen in list of MIDI devices of Sonar. But there is no any activity in MIDI IN/OUT indicators at the bottom of screen when I'm playing keyboard.
    Once I got it worked with my drum module. But then I left this setup. Now I have to use it with midi keyboard and could not get it working.

    Thanks,
    Dmitry

    as long as it shows up in sonar (and is ticked)

    hhhmm

    since it's vista , did you install it under your main administrator type account?

    the keyboard your using, what is it? is there anything in the manual about how it transmits or do you even have to switch that on.

    and your running the out to in .. in to out?

    when you say you got it to work with a drum module, that was when the unit was just installed..

    there is an additional page with the manual about setting up vista

    the bit about step 9 about setting it in the "on" position etc? (it's on the download manual bit , same link as above)

    there is also settings in control panel that you can change relating to it, don't know if you have been into that yet?

    also the unit has a midi in / out light.. do they change.. and I notice there are a number of modes/switches on it.. did you alter any of them

    Try uninstalling and reinstalling the interface. I have a UM-3EX, and if you don't install in the correct way, it won't work.

    Turn the machine off and unplug the interface. Boot your comp and run the install routine again. The installer will detect the old driver, and run a routine to remove it. Turn the comp off. Boot your comp and run the installer. Pay attention to the screens that pop up, and only attach the interface at the correct time.

    Hope this helps.
