Topic Problems with getting midi-signals from my old keyboard to Reason 3.0!
Hi!

I'm a newbie armed with Reason 3.0, with great musical enthusiasm and I have big ambitions to make music. The following kind of prevents me from even beginning:
I have a Roland E-38 keyboard with MIDI, and I recently bought a cable to connect the MIDI-out plug in my keyboard into my computers USB portal, but it was very hard for me to establish connection...
I looked for help in the Help-section in Reason, but when following the instructions (my Roland keyboard wasn't on the list of midi-keyboards under Preferences->Control surfaces and keyboards, so when clicking on "Add" I was instructed to choose "Other" under "Manufacturer") there weren't any results!! :( No connection at all!

ISN'T THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO (besides buying a midi-keyboard)???

Same story!!! I've tried a Roland MP-500 digital piano with midi ins/outs and a Roland A-33 midi keyboard, both of which are at least 5 years old. I'm using the Turtle Beach midi to USB cable and attempting to get midi signal in Reason 3.0 and I CANNOT!!! I have selected the midi cable (which does appear in the Reason Preferences drop down) but it does not detect the keyboard, and I receive no signal. Has anyone found a solution to this?! Hellllp?

i did have this problem but with my whole computer not finding my midi keyboard device.
So what i did was just simply took all the midi cables out, turned the keyboard off, then turned the keyboard on again, and plugged the cables back in. Then it recognised my midi keyboard and it worked fine. Just have a couple of recording problems now and i think you also need to have all the midi cables lights on on the little bit i the middle which has the lights. I can record with the USB light on and the midi in light on.

hope this helps,
