Anyone using an AKAI MPKxx with a Virus?

[sniperdude]

Hey all, new to this board. This is my first hardware synthesizer, but I am not new to music or DAWs.

Tried connecting my AKAI MPK25 to my Virus Snow this morning but it would not read my Midi controller.

Anyone know what the correct way is to link these two up?

I've got the AKAI MPK connected to the computer USB for power, and a midi cable from MIDI OUT on the AKAI to the MIDI IN on the Virus.

It wasn't recieving anything so I'm thinking there's a routing issue.

Also, I heard I can use my Virus as a soundcard. I have an M-Audio fast track usb which sucks so maybe I'll just use the Virus SC.

Thanks.
