Cannot add Novation LaunchKey 49 MIDI keyboard to PT Ex

[axel76]

Hello all, I'm trying to configure my MIDI keyboard Novation Launchkey 49 to work with PT Express but when I go to SETUP/PERIPHERALS/Type/ it shows M-Audio keyboard as the only option instead of HUI as it is supposed to according to the installation instructions from Novation.

Does this version of Pro Tools support other MIDI keyboards besides M-Audio? If so, where can I find a troubleshooting guide to make mine work?

Thanks
Axel

Anyone?

Unfortunately Pro Tools Express does not support third party Controllers or Interfaces. To use the Launchkey with Pro Tools you will have to have a full version.

You can see this detailed in the Pro Tools Comparison Chart: http://www.avid.com/US/common/produc...ols-comparison

Please do let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist you with your Launchkey.

Best regards.

Thank you Katherine. At least I know there's nothing wrong with my DAW or keyboard.

Guess I am in the same boat - have PTE and a Novation Launch key 25. This combination is a no go then?

Will any MIDI controller work or do I need to get full PT 11?

Thanks

Did you look at the comparison table mentioned a post before yours? Pretty clear no control surface is supported.

Pro Tools 10 Express to Pro Tools 11 upgrade is $500, you may be better off purchasing a bundle like an Eleven Rack with Pro Tools 11. Or purchase any one of many other well priced non-crippled DAWs than Pro Tools Express, like Logic Pro or Reaper, or Cubase or ... Avid needs to get out of the business of selling this crippleware/[bleep][bleep][bleep][bleep]ware which causes users problems and just damages the Pro Tools brand.
