As long as it is installed properly following the manufacturer's instructions and with the latest drivers from the manufacturer, Pro Tools will recognize the USB device as a MIDI input. The USB connection on USB controllers is the MIDI I/O.

All you need to do is select it as the MIDI input on whatever track you are trying to control.

If it doesn't appear in Pro Tools as a MIDI input, then it isn't installed/working correctly at the operating system level.

Did you record arm the track?

I have multiple USB controllers and use them with the 002R every day. As long as the drivers are installed properly, and you are setting up the tracks properly (record arm, select "All" or the specific controller as MIDI input, etc), that's all you really need to do.

Have you enabled it as an input in PT?
In Setup/Midi/Input Devices.

Also check your windows hardware list, if it's there but won't appear in PT try restarting computer with the controller on.
For some reason PT occasionally can't find my M-Audio 88 keyboard unless is on during boot.

To use USB keyboard controllers, you don't have to do this. This step should be used when using MIDI 'machine control' devices

Well I don't know what to say SeedGuy, except 'you're wrong'.

Go to Pro Tools Setup/ Midi/ Input devices, disable whatever you have and you won't have any midi input.

Yea, I was thinking about the I/O>Peripherals>MIDI Control tab that a lot of people think they need to set up. My apologies.

I had an issue with my keyrig 49 too dude even though apparently it's meant to be "plug and play" - yeah right...

I had to download the driver off the m-audio website and then when prompted via the "found new hardware" wizard, point the wizard to the downloaded driver file. If you let windows just do it's thing, the keyrig will power up via usb but it won't be recognized as a midi input device.
