Mike 2005 - I just got
the keyrig 49 as well...and after a lot of trouble trying to get the software to work on Windows 7, there is an updater available (I tried inserting the link, but it wouldn't let me - so go to the m-audio website, to support, to knowledge bank. Search for 'keyrig updater' and it will take you to the download page).
If you install the keyrig software, then run the updater before you open the keyrig program, it will skip the certify step and then it magically works (it was very frustrating figuring that whole thing out, so hope that helps anyone else out there, because I couldn't find the updater link to save my life).
Moving on. I'm just starting with sonar xl producer (like today, so I'm a newbie...be nice). I'm able to record and apply effects to my regular audio tracks (guitar, vocals etc). But I can't seem to get this working right with the midi controller for synth or drum sounds. Here's where I'm at:
I create a midi track. I select the keyrig 49 as my controller (input). I select the same output as my other tracks (to my soundcard). I have no idea what Midi Channel to select, so I l randomly picked one. 'Bank' is checked, but I don't know what that is. Patch - I just chose the accordian as a test.
So - If I hit the keys it is reading a level. It will record midi data on that track. But there is no sound. On monitoring or playback. Help.
