First let me state I am new to Midi and have been successfully recording in RB using guitar and Mic inputs but wanted to try using some Midi input.
I'm running BIAB/RB version 2012 latest build,Forte DXI Plugin,on a Dell Dimension Desktop with Win XP Sevice Pack 3 op sys and Audiology SoundBlaster Sound card and 3.25 GB RAM.
My Korg NanoKEY midi controller USB keyboard comes with a program called Korg M1Le.
It is set in Preferences to MME > Line 6 Toneport UX1 .
Only on this setting can I hear the NanoKEY through my speakers or headphones.
So far so good.
When I try to record in Realband and try to select: "USB Device" in the Midi Input column, I get the Error Message:
Device is already in use by another program (the Korg M1 LE??)
If I try to select: "Lin6 Toneport UX1" from the list I get the Error Opening Input Driver Message:
This function is not supported. Use the Capabilities function (????) to determine which functions and messages the driver supports.
If I try to select: "LoopBe Internal Midi" as the Input Device and I try to record using the Record Button onto a RB Midi track, nothing shows up even though I do hear the NanoKEy while recording...The track is blank.
If I try the same using the Audio Record button all I get is static (probably since the track is set to Midi?)
Any suggestions how to get the NanoKEY to record into RB or if it's even possible?
Would it be possible for PG to come up with a Midi Setup Wizard which could at least get the midi up and running for us Newbies and have a Custom settings option for the experienced Pros?.. as I have read many forum problems similar to mine?
With the sometimes multiple drivers or Inputs and Outputs in the Midi Devices columns and all the possible combinations to make it work, it's pretty confusing to an old dog trying to learn new tricks.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Have a great one,
Carkins

I submitted my post to PG Support and all it took was the old Return To Factory Settings to set things right.
A simple solution for my simple mind.
Here's Rob's reply, in case it can help others out there with a similar problem
"It sounds like you are doing everything right but I would reset RealBand to factory settings by deleting the following files out of the RealBand folder.
RB.CFG
RealBand.ini
Then make absolutely sure no other program is open and actively using either the tone port or the Korg.
Then open RealBand and visit Options –> Preferences –> Midi Tab –> Midi Devices –>
Input Driver –> This depends on how the midi keyboard is going into the computer if it connects to the Tone Port which then connects to the computer you choose TonePort
-> If the Korg plugs directly into the Computer by way of USB then you choose Korg/USB for the midi input driver.
Output Drier –> Commonly chosen is Microsoft GS Wavetable + Re-route Midi Playback to Default –> YES –> Default DXI Synth (Coyote WT)
When everything is setup hit the record midi button (record audio is the record button with the waveform in it so we want the normal red record button) hit some keys on the midi keyboard while recording, then hit stop in RealBand and OK to keep take."
Only thing I would add is to say No when it asks if you want to use ASIO drivers...use MME instead, at least it works for me in this instance.
Thanks Rob and PG Music!
