AKAI MPK mini III not detected -Any tip from owners of this?

[ChocolateM1lk]

My MIDI controller won't be detected on LMMS. I use an AKAI MPK mini III. It's not in the preferences settings even though I plugged it in. It's also class compliant and is detected on my computer.

Follow this:
Unplug keyboard & and remove power cable.
Then shut down computer -completely -Pull the plug!
Then
Insert midi-conector cable
Insert midi-keyboard power cable and turn MIDI-kb ON
(Some lights should get lid)
Insert pc power cable!
Start PC
Start LMMS
Look for your keyboard in MIDI-menu

Let us know the outcome :)

So as you told me in that PM it did not work
That is a bommer because i really do not have any other way to make a sure and functional connection. When that happens we always tell the user to try a different midi-cable, but afai understood you have done some HW test with a MIDI-checkup-program?
Then i am out of ideas.
I will change the topic and see if an owner of the same keyboard chimes in with the solution, but not optimistic

Try checking the USB cable first, sometimes it's just a connection hiccup. Also, make sure you're using the right USB port. LMMS can be picky. If all else fails, maybe reinstall the driver or update LMMS.
