[Help] M-Audio Radium 49 problems
Hey guys.
I've just got my hands on a Radium 49 midi controller keyboard and I'm having some trouble with it - I dont get any signal from it in my software (Reason, Ableton).
I've installed the drivers "by the books", and everything seems to be ok, but Reason doesn't recognize it/ doesn't recieve anything from the keyboard. It's not the keyboard, since just yesterday I've tried it on another computer, and everything worked fine with Reason. I was wondering if anyone had similar problems and could help?
The PC I'm trying to run it on has a Creative SB Live soundcard with KX Drivers and Windows XP, and I also had that MIDI YOKE drivers (for the virtual midi keyboard) so I uninstalled them as an attempt to make things work. But that also didn't help.
Any ideas of what I should do? I suppose I could reinstall my OS and try again but I'm hoping there's a faster solution...
Oh yeah and I'm using the USB connection, if that's something I should mention...
Thanx in advance, peace
(p.s. tried googling it seems like I'm the only person that ever had any problems with Radium 49 )

did everything you said already (channel is 1, no install errors etc). The thing is, everything looks ok, in the reason preferences menu / control surfaces and keyboards/ edit/ i can select the USB input from the keyboard but when I try to detect it (find button) it fails to do so. Tried reinstalling the drivers a few times already, but that doesnt seem to be the problem.
Anyway thanx for you help guys, appreciate it.. I'm pretty sure this is some stupid driver/software issue so I'm gonna do a "format C:\" and start over, hoping it'll work.

LOL. Radium 49? You mean Radium Forty-VaGINE.
Weird that you are having such a horrible problem with it. It depends on the computer I suppose, my buddy Dan has a Radium 49 and he has to constantly re-install the drivers whenever Reason just decides to stop "seeing" it.
I however, haven't had a problem yet. Just make sure the Radium 49 is in "Program 1" mode, and when you set up the midi device you are using a "Newer Model" Radium 49.
Good luck. And I want pics if you smash your mobo/radium

well I've sent an email to M-audio tech support and we'll see if they can help anyhow.. I've even tried messing with my bios and usb modes but some big shit doesn't allow this to happen.
Maybe I should get a proper midi cable and a power adapter... fck

actually after I've bought my keyboard I realized the power switch was hidden terribly on it's back...
