So, it sounds like the problem is with the Keystation talking through the 8X8. Not sure what your keystation has on it, but some of them have controls that can be used in do some of the same features as a control surface. Maybe there are messges that are conflicting.

Or maybe the problem is just with the 8X8. Try recoriding some midi to a track using the VI for sound. Then after you record some midi, stop sending it to the VI and send it to the 8X8 into one of the Sound Models you have. Try using the already recorded midi to record a sample off of one of your units, back into ProTools as audio. That a way to test your 8X8 without having it run at the same time as the Keystation is sending data for recording. If you have problems then its only the 8X8 and not the Keystation at all. If that works ok, then its probably with the Keystation and the 8X8 having a conflict.

If your running PTMP 8.0 then you have the DB-33 (Organ), Vaccume (Moog Synth) and Mini Grand (Piano). They all come free with the software. They might only work on a stereo instrument track though. If you were using a mono, they might not be available. Use a stereo. If your on 7.4 or earlier, your out of luck on those, and I would love to know how you got Structure Free on 7.4.

Doesn't the MV-8000 have pads on it? What I was suggesting is record midi from your MV-8000 using the pads a triggers.
