Hello! I'm new to the forum, I've had LMMS on my computer for a while but only scarcely touched it. I'm almost a complete novice when it comes to using DAWs so I thought it would be best to come join the forum if I needed advice.
My current version of LMMS is 1.2.0-rc8. I'm running Windows 10, HP Laptop with AMD A9-9425 Radeon 5-core processor, 8GB RAM, etc etc. Idk how much of this is necessary, but I know they're commonly asked about.
The MIDI controller I'm using is the MIDI Fighter 3D by DJ Tech Tools. (Imagine my disappointment when I realized I could probably only use its *cool* features with Ableton or Traktor...) Despite LMMS not being the "preferable" DAW for the MF3D, when I used the two in the past (various times through 2018, but I believe I downloaded this version sometime in 2017), the MF3D worked like a standard MIDI Keyboard, each button a semitone apart.
However, that was my old laptop, an old version of LMMS, an old version of the MIDI Fighter Utility software. Currently, when searching for the controller as explained on the "Using MIDI" page, the MF3D does not appear under the "Input" *or* "Output" dropdown menus. For that matter, the "Input" menu does not appear at all. I've seen other people from as far back as 2017 having this issue whilst googling it, but have seen no solution. I'll attach screenshots of the menus in question.
Thanks much for reading and responding!
EDIT: I forgot to mention, the MF3D definitely still works. I'm almost positive this is an issue with LMMS. I think I downloaded the Beta version, because I read elsewhere "It's definitely a lot better and less buggy than the non-beta." Or something.
