Beginner needs help with MIDI - Novation USB Keyboard in PT!

[davidhiles]

Hi,

I'm just starting on ProTools and running 7.3something - the latest upgrade.

I apologise now if i have missed anything painfully obvious - but I'm a guitarist by nature - what can I say!

I've just purchased a Novation ReMOTE 25 LE USB keyboard which has been installed but comes with the worlds most unhelpful manual regarding MIDI.

I can get the keyboard running as a keyboard in sampletank with the midi thru feature but I can't for the love of God get the actual knobs or transport buttons to do anything.

I found some extra templates on the internet relating to a JC-10 which is listed as 'unsupported hardware'but meant to be protools compliant and I've tried to upload them to the keyboard (successfully I think) but I can't seem to get it running in Protools.

I'll admit to being a little out of my depth, as my head is spinning so i'd be really appreciative of an idiots guide to point me in the right direction.

Cheers

Dave
