Live 10 Lite does not recognize my USB keyboard

Post by Raja_B » Sun Dec 20, 2020 8:05 pm

Hi all, my first post on this forum! I use an M-Audio Keystation 61 Mk3 to connect to my laptop via USB, and run Piano Marvel on it (piano learning app, real good). Anyhow, I just decided to run Ableton Live 10 Lite and also Cakewalk on it, as well as on a new Surface Pro 7. Both had full Windows updates today. Well, the Piano Marvel runs fine with the keyboard but DAWs....no go, with both laptops! I get a stony silence when I play keys on the keyboard; on Cakewalk I get an error saying not enough memory. Tried ASIO4ALL, was no use. Has anyone heard of Windows 10 giving major problems with Ableton? Would SO appreciate resolving this! Thx much!

You probably need to activate the midi keyboard at Preferences of Ableton Live.
You should see a yellow light flicker at the very top right of Live if it's receiving midi.
