Help - IK Multimedia VST's won't play through Keystation 88

[hugoagogo]

Hi - wondering if anyone has encountered this or if you might have any suggestions? Here's the details:

I pulled my M-Audio Keystation 88 out of storage after approx. one year. I'm finding that all VST's play through it except every one of my IK VST's (ST3, ST4, Syntronik, SampleMoog). I have no issues with my other M-Audio keyboard (an Oxygen 49). I've tried as a standalone, through Reaper as a VST; I've switched cables and USB ports; I've had one controller at a time plugged in and both plugged in at the same time; I've tried PC restarts too, and the Oxygen 49 works with everything, and the Keystation88 works with everything except the IK Products.

If anyone has any theories, I'd be happy to give them a go. I'm just baffled why a specific brand of software is doing this.

Check the MIDI channel that the Keystation is using for its MIDI Notes.

Or, in Reaper, you can map the Input MIDI to, say, MIDI channel 01.

Thank you DarkStar. I guessed it was something silly. I'm used to having keyboards with dedicated midi channel switching controls & display. The 88 has an advanced button which when triggered allows the actual keys to set any advanced programs. I must have accidently shut something off, but once I set it to a specific midi channel again, I was set.

I appreciate your help - I believe you may have helped me on the reaper forum in the past as well. Although I've been doing this for ten years now off and on, I'll always consider myself a novice and it is very nice when people offer help without judging how silly the questions may appear. So, thank-you to you, and everyone who takes time from their day to help out when they can.
