Registered today and the first post is a very vague question. But I will assume this is a real request and not another prank.

We will need a lot more information in order to help. Things like computer CPU (Mac or PC), USB port info, keyboard controller name, audio interface name, etc. When we get this information we will be able to better help you solve this problem.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Also please tell us what it says in the BIAB menu Options, Preferences, MIDI Driver, MIDI Input Driver. Does your keyboard appear and can you select it?

Don't think you'd need it in this case.
It can make things more complex than necessary. I don't think your keyboard makes 'sound', just sends/receives MIDI, but receiving it wouldn't mean much if it doesn't have sound.

What happens if you try the settings MusicStudent gave?
If that works,
Then maybe after that you can start tinkering with other routing options, but start at a baseline first and let us know.
A picture of your setup (like MusicStudent showed) would go a long way to help.

Wait, which MIDI Thru doesn't show?
The one at top or inside the dialogue box?

The midi keyboard will only play on the "Thru Channel" in BIAB and only if you have the routing I show in the pic above. The thru channel is always present you don't "add it". My midi keyboard is sending on Channel 1. I am using MME so there is a bit of latency, but other input drivers (ASIO) may work. There is some short of trick to boost the vol to a suitable level. I forget it right now.

To get a pic to show in your post, don't use the Quick Reply option, but rather click the Reply button on a post.
Then below the section where you add your reply, you'll see a File Manger section that allows sharing a screen shot (as long as it is not too large of a file size).

As a newbee to the forum, you need to have a few more "posts" before the picute upload option is available. You never told us what version of BIAB you are using? You could post that or tell us how the weather is where you are to run up your post number?? grin

To get tracks to show up in the mixer, click on the little 'eye' symbol in the bottom right corner of the mixer and select the tracks from the list.

The dialog that shows on MusicStudent's post is opened from:
Options->Preferences->MIDI Driver
or
From the Misc tab MIDI->MIDI/Audio Driver Setup

Progress, thank you.
I now have a live feed from my keyboard into a thru track on the mixer.
But I can't hear it.

I have some progress.
I have visual input into the mixer, but no audio output.
The style playback audio is fine.
I'm beginning to think this is an audio sharing issue.
