Akai MPK Mini won't record in Cubase Elements 6

Hmm the plot thickens.

I’ve had a reply from Akai who told me to follow their install device instructions and import an XML file that they attached. But that’s made no difference at all.

However I’ve then noticed something that might be relevant. If I set up a VST track and open up the HALion Sonic SE editor I can play the virtual keyboard and get sound out. However if I try to record this as a track using the virtual keyboard then I get sound whilst playing but no data gets recorded to the track. I’ve got record enable on and monitor. Just no data to the track so when I rewind and play there’s nothing there.

I don’t know whether that’ll be linked to the problem - but it might be the same problem. Any ideas what might be causing that?

Thanks
