After Manchester - Midi does not work. Any Ideas?
To whom it may concern,
I have an Cakewalk. A-800 Keyboard. After I updated to Manchester My MIDI does not work. Let me clarify that. The keys on my keyboard don't work. Control Suface works. So, I believe I can send MIDI, but the Keyboard black and white piano keys don't work. Any Ideas?

Hi. If you look in Preferences (P), MIDI, Devices (in SONAR), do you see your A-800? If not, are you able to add it?
Best of luck.

Like Zargg71 says, look in Pref | MIDI devices.
Make sure your 800 is checked as a MIDI -IN device.

I even tried the virtual Controller Keyboard that Cakewalk Sonar comes with.

Can you get sound by loading a soft synth and clicking on the notes in the piano roll?
How is Midi getting from your A-800 into Sonar? Describe the signal chain including the type of connectors used.
Can you see Midi activity in a Midi track?
Is the A-800 transmitting on the correct Midi channel?

Is there a parameter on the Roland keyboard (something like "Midi Parameters") that may be improperly set ?
I know that on a Roland E-09 there's a parameter "MIDI TxRx" that sets the keyboard to send only control messages, only keyboard notes, both, etc.
Do you have Input Echo enabled for your midi or instrument track ?
Do you see any meter activity on the track ?
Is the Input to your track set to your keyboard ?

Hey, I just figured out a part of it. When I hit the key hard I hear something.

Is there some kind of input key velocity adjustment that can be made?

That would probably be on your A-800
Look for velocity curves or similar

What synth? Assuming you're using a Simple Instrument track, right-click and split it so you can see the MIDI event velocities in the MIDI track, and the audio output of the synth in the synth track. If the event velocities are low, and the MIDI track doesn't have a negative Vel+ value set, then the keyboard is probably sending low velocities.
If the velocities look reasonable, and the audio output level is low, then probably the MIDI track or Keyboard Master Volume control has lowered Master Volume (CC7), or some controller event in a MIDI clip is sending a low value for Expression (CC11) or possibly some other controller that affects output level (e.g. Modulation (CC1) in Aria/Garritan synths).
