Music Creator 6 MIDI device issues.

welcome. 

Is the Midi device (a keyboard or controller) USB or traditional 5 pin midi?   

It shows up as a midi device in the midi options available for input to MC6? 

Be sure the midi device is transmitting on omni or if it's a specific channel.... be sure the midi input is set to receive on that specific channel.

Be sure you have the midi output in the track set to the soft synth you wish to have reproduce the sound.

Be sure a patch or sample is loaded into the synth. 

My website has some info on the MUSIC & Recording page..... which still applies to MC6. It might help you to understand midi if you are new to it.

If you select INSERT SYNTH, and choose the Cakewalk sound center, AND if the keyboard is on omni..... it should give you sound. That is one synth that comes up in my system running as soon as it loads. 

Having a dedicated sound card or USB interface will be to your advantage too..... using a factory sound card in a built in lappy is not the best way.

Okay. Thanks for your replies. Guitarhacker, the interface is usb, so there's that. I'm going to try what you said about soft synth and Cakewalk sound center. 57Gregy, i tried switching the input/output, but that seemed to make the problem worse, but thanks for your help anyway
