Cockos Incorporated Forums - View Single Post - MIDI Recording with Virtual Keyboard, But Not with Drum Plug In?

gvdv · 10-27-2020, 01:31 AM

Hi,
I put the Virtual Keyboard on a track, and was successfully able to record MIDI, through/via the MT Powerkit 2 Drum VST plug in.

I was surprised that I could not record on the MIDI track when I either (a) used the mouse or my finger to 'play' the drums on my computer screen, and when (b) I got MTPK 2 to play some preset grooves.

Even after closing the Virtual Keyboard and de-selecting it, I could not get the kit to record in either of the ways I describe above.

What am I not doing?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
