MIDI Keyboard input not working (Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S88 MK2)

• Jul 22, 2020 - 18:00

Edit: FIXED! Immediately after posting this, I found that the 'DAW' option is used as a control surface and should never be used for MIDI input / output setting. So... I figured that may have screwed things up. After I set the MIDI input to 'Komplete Kontrol - 1', shut down MuseScore and restarted Musescore, it worked fine. Doh! Sorry... I'm leaving my original info below since it may help people going through similar motions as me :-).

==============================================================================

Dear reader,

I've tried all tips that I found earlier, rebooting my PC, un- and re-plugging my USB keyboard, making sure it was on before starting MuseScore, toggling the MIDI connect button, etc. to no avail - whatever I do, no midi inputs end up in MuseScore. I have the computer keyboard 'p' enabled, but nothing lights up. Clicking that keyboard of course works fine and produces MuseScore's (very nice, if I may) piano sound.

I set the MIDI settings as in the attached picture. I tried all 3 Komplete Kontrol options, none of them worked.

My keyboard is a Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S88 MK2, fully up-to-date firmware, etc.

As a sidenote, the Korg nanoPad which is also correctly shown in the list, also does not work for input in MuseScore.

Both the Komplete Kontrol keyboard and the nanoPad work fine in my DAW and other standalone audio programs.

For info:
OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.4.2.9788, revision: 148e43f

If you need additional info, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

With Steinberg vague I associate user forum requests - but not necessarily concerning the midi keyboard - where it worked after updating the audio driver.

Hi kuwitt -- In my case, the audio output via my Steinberg audio interface was fine -- I heard the piano sounds (if clicked by the 'p' piano keyboard) clearly.

After setting the MIDI input to 'Komplete Kontrol - 1' and restarting MuseScore, my problem was solved and MIDI input went straight and correctly into MuseScore :-). So, happy now :-).
