i really need help , my midi keyboard is acorn masterkey 49 , fl studio 11 / win 7 64

thank's

 

It could also be your midi cable or your usb port. Have you tried a different port?

 

What Kind for Midi keyboard is it if it is a M-Audio i always have problems like that to i always have to factory reset it and one of my M-Audio its Not the Cabal it self its the USB Connection that i have to wiggle some times for it to connect

 

i tried all the ports , it s the same problem , i have to discconect reconect the cable to make it work or switch on/off button of my keyboards ...

 

I have 2 M-Audio keys that are doing great, and I've had them for years. Lyric8, it could still be your cable, but it could be your usb port on the keyboard. Try another usb cable 1st or try your present cable on another keyboard. I have had several thin cables go down, so I have started using using a heavier cable and they are working well.

 

it s acorn masterkey 49

 

Reptilex, that is why I started using better cables. I was having dropouts. I thought it was the keyboard. It could be your keyboard is failing also. Try changing cables 1st. Try another keyboard on your system, if you can, with your cable. Or, try your keyboard on someone elses system.

 

Make sure you press the Enable button near the device in fl studio, midi settings.

 

well this what i want to do i want to change the cable or try my midi on an other pc . actualy i think its cable because i didnt get cable with my keyboard it just used one that i had for an old time . il try both solutions hopefully il fix this , it s annoying , working and suddenly midi dont work anymore ... :s

thanks for reply btw ;)

 

it s always enable ... i guess it s cable or system problem . sometimes midi is working , i just want to change patterns or go on the timeline of fl studio , keyboards dosent work anymore ...

 

Keyboards do fail. Good luck! BTW, if you have a printer on usb, that is the same cable you use for keyboards, which could be used to test things.

 

I think your keyboard is an m-audio clone

what operating system are you using?

it is more likely to be a USB driver error, rather than your cable

XP has a particular problem when connecting too many usb devices to it, it creates a new reg key file everytime a (same) device is connected, and there is a limit to how many you can connect. the only way to clear it is to remove the devices from the regfile. this error was suppose to have been sorted in win7, but it sounds like a similar problem

 

New cable? Latest drivers? Have you opened it to see loose cables or bad soldering. If so, solder!

If not, smash it to pieces and buy a new one (better brand). That's what I would do.

hey there , i have tried it on a laptop it works fine , i guess it s drivers or something problem dont know how to update usb drivers and i have already problems with keyboard and mouse , sometimes mouse disconnects suddenly ...

 

I found deleting the windows prefetch folder cured my midi problem. Cant say for sure it will cure everyone's as it might have been a fluke, but it could.

 

hello, Reptilex,

you might want to check too, if the automatic power shutdown is enabled on your usb ports, device manager will give you this possibility.

all the best for all of us, plus pray do exclude non-working usb connections...

 

You plug into main usb port? USB2 USB3? Try 2.0 port. Make sure it not usb hub like usb port on front of pc. Sometime this cause problem with certain usb things. If so try port in back of pc.

And always plug in keyboard and turn on before open daw.
