Default Can't use transport function on Alesis VI49

Is there a way to somehow get the transport functions on my Alesis VI49 keyboard to work in Reaper.
I've been looking all over the web on a way to get these function to work in Reaper but there's nothing I could find.
I had an akai MPK49 and I could control start, stop, rec etc. With this Alesis all I can do is play the virtual instruments. I can't use any other function of the Alesis VI49. Is there any way I can fix this issue?
Please help!

Thank you in advance.

In Preferences -> Audio -> MIDI Devices did you enable both options for the Alesis MIDI input?:

(o) Enable input (from this device)
(o) Enable input for control messages


Did you already try if opening the Action List and mapping the transport functions manually is working?


There seems to be a software editor available on the product page which also might be worth checking out: http://www.alesis.com/products/view2/vi49

I'm pretty sure you have to install the official Alesis drivers for that MIDI controller and any other MIDI controllers in that series.

The Q-series is USB Class Compliant, and works without drivers installation, but not the V-series.
