Ha ha, of course I'm overlooking something simple and stupid, I'm convinced of that now that we've walked down every other avenue. And after all this has been cleared up, I'll come back here blushing like a debutante at the ball, crying shamefacedly "Now why didn't I think of that?" (or you, for that matter). Noob is a relative term.
As a longtime user of BIAB I'm as surprised as you are by all this. However, support has offered a remote session, so they can look under the hood. I'll keep you posted (if I'm not too embarrassed).

There's one OP observation in this thread that, to me, stands out above all others:
Quote:
And finally, the MIDI Monitor shows no activity when inputting from the Impulse.
Normally, there's a simple explanation: Channel mismatch, bad cable, local on/midi off, something like that. Yet from the very first sentence of the thread, it appears the controller (among others) works with other midi software. Therefore, IMHO, the question is simple: why are the midi transmissions of a healthy controller not even penetrating the BB module? As Megafiddle and Mac sorta implied above, with no answer to that, what's the point in speculating on issues that lie further along the signal path?
-Ron
BINGO.
The buck stops at the point where you cannot detect any MIDI data, which in this case appears to be at the MIDI INPUT.
All this talk of which synth to use won't likely cure that because the MIDI data apparently cannot even get to the input of the synth.

Hi,
I am not sure if this relates to your problem or not.
I connected my Impulse to a 64 bit Windows 7 system and there was no Impulse MIDI input/output visible in MIDI-OX or Kontakt.
I installed lots of different USB drivers that did not work. The problem system uses an Asus Z97-K motherboard with an Intel processor. I have a comparable 64 bit Windows 7 system with an AMD processor that sees the Impulse. So I know the Impulse works and the cable is good.
To cut a long story short I set xHCI to Disable in the USB option page on the UEFI/BIOS of the problem system. I rebooted and the MIDI devices connected via USB are visible and usable.

@William123: just yesterday revisited this topic which seemed long dead and found your post. Thanks for the suggestion. It didn't do me any good, I'm afraid. Fact is I've given up on BIAB. No matter what midi-controller I use, no matter what setting I use, it simply won't register any midi in. Now the program is just a superfluous icon on my desktop.

Bartveld,
I know it has been awhile but, do you remember what PGMusic tried when support remoted to your computer?
May I suggest you reopen the issue with PG Support? I am shocked you have not been able to use the product for almost two years. With PG Music as customer focused as they are, I feel confident they would relish a new opportunity to resolve the issue. Unfortunate but true, current problems get more attention than past problems. If you do not follow up periodically, support either forgets about the issue or, when they do think about the problem, believe it has been magically resolved to your satisfaction.
Please do not leave the issue unresolved. That leaves you a bitter customer and does not allow PG Music the opportunity to learn by successfully resolving the issue.
Besides, there are 5026+ viewers of this thread rooting for you to get this fixed!

Well, that is an eloquent call to action! And I suppose you're right. I'm sure you're right. I will do it!

Well, I'm here to sing the praises of Evan from PG Music, who suggested I update my ASIO driver. And, yes, it was that simple! I feel stupid in the extreme, but that is mitigated by the fact that I can now return to Band in a Box and play my brains out.
Once again thanks to all posters here for bearing with me.

Let's hear it for Evan of PG Support for the suggestion that ultimately fixed the issue & bartveld for not giving up and sticking with it until the issue was resolved.
Hip-Hip-Hooray!
