Trouble getting my midi keyboard to work

Hello,

I have an Akai MPK25 Midi keyboard. Cubase7 recognized this keyboard as the ports are active in Device Set up. When I press the keys, I see signal but don’t hear anything. Now if I use my mouse and click on the on screen keyboard for whatever instrument I have loaded, I get sound, so the volume is on. Am I missing something to fully activate this keyboard to work with instruments?

Hello,

Where can you see the incoming signal? Is it in the Transport panel? Or is it in the track? Try to set your inputs to the “All MIDI Inputs”. And check in the Deivces > MIDI Settings, your AKAI is included in the All MIDI Inputs.
