KONTAKT not responding to MIDI keyboard (SOLVED)

Hello! My KONTAKT 4 and KONTAKT 5 samplers do not seem to respond to MIDI signals from my keyboard controller. The channel does respond to the keyboard it seems, but instead of a thick, normal volume signal, I get a thin red line, what is this? Playing the virtual piano in Kontakt does make sound, and inputting notes manually in the piano roll also works. Notes input by the keyboard however, are muted, and do not make a sound. All my other VSTs, including other Native Instruments products, work as they should. I've also tried in FL Studio, where everything works as it should. I have no idea what is going on, I have a feeling I'm overlooking something very obvious... Anyone? :)

That is showing the velocity of the incoming MIDI notes. If the Kontakt keyboard and Reaper's MIDI Editor piano roll are triggering sounds then it sounds like your keyboard is sending notes on a different MIDI channel Record some notes and View them in the Event List. Then make sure that the MIDI Channel in your Kontakt instrument is set to the same channel.

Thanks a lot!!! That was indeed the problem, I set my Kontakt instrument to OMNI, and then it worked. :) My keyboard sends its signals to channel 7, while Kontakt was only reading channel 1. (While in FL Studio and Cubase, it seems my keyboard uses channel 1, or maybe all the channels) A follow-up question then, how do I control what channel my MIDI controller sends to? Seems really basic, but I don't understand how to do this!

So, in Reaper, the recorded notes are on MIDI Channel 07, but in FL Studio and Cubase they are on MIDI channel 01? That seems odd - unless you are forcing them onto Channel 07 in Reaper (or to 01 in the others). To check, right-click the RecArm button, select, Input:MIDI, then "Map Input to channel", and select "All channels". From what you have said, you should not need to change the channel, but most MIDI controller keyboard let you change the MIDI channel. Read the .... :) (You didn't mention which controller you have.)

Ah, that's it, the MIDI controller (M-Audio ProKeys 88) had its channel set to 7. I didn't consider the possibility that this could be controlled from there.. That's what I get for never properly learning how MIDI and sound routing works... :( Anyway, thanks again!! Problem resolved 100%

I'm the latest sufferer on this particular annoyance. I'm trying the standalone and still even midi learns aren't being detected. file > options > midi lists my MK-461 USB MIDI KEYBOARD (currently port a) all midi outputs are off. with the (v)keyboard I can play one note at a time however, even with midi set to omni / confirmed midi channel on keyboard, nothing is recognised, the MIDIjack doesn't light up like it does when vmidi is detected and played.. win 7 x64 (currently asio4all with behringer usb, reasynth works ok with midi, just trying to learn some multi-timbral ) strange, no?

I found this first post similar to my problem I guess. I don't know if it right place to ask and if anybody can help me. I am sorry if I am postin this in wrong one. I am totally new to REAPER. I run win8 and I wanted to use Syphonic Choir with Wordbuild. I normaly use Abletone 8 Live and I coulden't find a way to run this under this enviromnet I found easy tutorial doing this with Reaper on Youtube. After some time I got it working but only with Virtual Keyboard. My MIDI contorller M-AUDIO Keystation 61 refuses to cooporate in the way I wish to... similar to the first post. I run easly some of my VSTs (Eighty Eight2) I can hear and play and record no problems, but if I try say Xpand2 it shows me only the red little lines when I hit keybord (this works only with Virtual keybord, Same symphonic choir routed with Wordbuild. I have BEHRINGER GUITAR LINK USB as Audio Device and I have my headphones connected to it. I enable all MIDI devices. i don't simply know what is wrong... Please if you know what to do, give me step by step instruction as I am totally new to it. regards

Hi Tod, Thank you for your reply. I have tried all of this before... I found some old posts on other sites mentioning 'compatibility' problems that particular Xpand VST can cause... I managed to get it working with virtual keyboard at least. I will be still experimenting. Thank you
