My keyboard and eDrums are both USB, but I use MIDI cables instead. I run out from the keyboard to the eDrums with THRU enabled, then out to the interface with each on separate MIDI channels - it works!

I have a Windows 10 laptop, running PT Ultimate 2022.7 with MTRX Studio and one HDX card. Post 2022.7, my keyboard controller would not be recognized. I searched the interwebz of things for a solution, and read dozens of (mostly older) threads here on the DUC. Nothing would work. I finally saw a post on another site that offered this: in Windows, open Device Manager, click on view, show hidden devices; dozens of old, unused or disconnected devices appeared. I looked for any device associated with MIDI that I did not use, like some old controllers I got rid of years ago, and deleted them. I probably zapped about a dozen devices, hoping none was still needed to operate any of my MIDI devices.

It worked! Apparently some old drivers conflicted with my current keyboard controller. PT now lists my USB keyboard. Hope this might help.

Hey great, thanks for letting us know it worked. I had a memory of something discussed on DUC in the past and then googled around...
