Hi, we have connected a keyboard via a USB midi cable. Whe we play notes on the keyboard only some are recorded (probably only 10-20%). Its almost as if there is a lack of processing speed but we know it can't be this. Any ideas?

Check to see what device you have chosen in Options-Preferences-Midi Dveices
Make sure it shows the USB connection as being highlited on the input side (by name).
It may have defaulted to midimapper (generic windows) or something else.
Also have you tried a different USB port?
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Hi, Yes the correct USB device is selected and tried changing the USB socket but no change!

Are you trying to record to MIDI track or to AUDIO track?
It would be nice to know more here, like the brand and model of keyboard, USB interface, if separate from keyboard, computer and Operating System -- and what you are trying to use for the MIDI output device at the time...

We're trying to record midi. The keyboard is a Yamaha PSR-290 and we're using a USB midi cable plugged between the keyboard Midi in & out and the PC USB port. th cable has THE midi box in the middle with a USB cable to the PC and two cables (Midi IN & out) to the keyboard via 5 pin din plugs. We have selected the USB Audio device in the drivers menu for both input and output. So far so good. However if I start playing the keyboard the first one or two notes appear on the PT keyboard but no more. As I keep playing the occasional note shows up but its only about 10% of the ones I play. My PC is a Dell dimension 5150, 3GHz, 1Gb of RAM, Running Windows XP home edition 5.1.

Check for IRQ sharing on USB, and Device Manager for conflicts.
Is there another keyboard available to try, just to rule out the source?
Open the animated drums module and record a small section on that.
If you haven't used it before, open it up and use the red record button from inside the module, then click on the drums (or use the computer keyboard to play it while recording. See if all the midi gets recorded that way or if it is still missing beats.
Is the system working OK for audio?

My brother had to return back to his place and took his keyboard. However I'm going to buy another keyboard so we'll put that one on hold for now. Thanks anyway.
On the issue of audio... we can now record several audio tracks however despite having a drum beat on track 1 to keep timing, the other tracks all seem to have a small progressive lag the longer the song is. It's not much but it builds up over a period of time so that on play back its almost a beat out of time after around 2 minutes. We've been trying to cut little micro second periods out between each bar but this is very time consuming and frustrating. Any ideas?

What are you using for the soundcard to record audio?
Sounds like you may have a different driver for playback than record (?)
options-preferences-audio tab- drivers
The input and output should match.
Make sure the soundcard itself is selected, not soundmapper.. and use the 'move selected device to top' button so it becomes the default input.
Just a couple things to try.
Using MME or ASIO drivers?

My sound card is a soundblaster Live 24 bit.
You're right, when I checked the drivers in the options-preferences-audio tab-drivers the soundmapper was selected for both input and output. I have changed this to the 'sound blaster audigy' driver for both and moved it to the top for the output. I'll try repetaing the recording soon. Thanks.

I would suggest ASIO drivers.
