Reply To: MIDI Keyboard Trouble

BTW, like your Nanokeys, I always turn on and have the USB in for my guitar/mic interface before opening Podium. If you are (certainly, I hope) using an ASIO with your interface and/or instrument, Podium wants it ON so the Audio/MIDI setup you have already set up stays powered up and connected.

If you don’t, Podium will indicate “not connected” for your in’s and out’s in that dialog. Without this kept on, you then have to resort to something else, such as DirectSound, MME (ick!), or whatever your computer has to, for example, play back your tracks and so on. If you turn it on after, you’ll have to exit and reopen stuff anyways and update/reset your Audio/MIDI connection setup to get things back to your norm. Not worth the hassle, if you ask me.
