sykray Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I actually live near to Pattaya but I suspect that the Bangkok forum may be more productive for me. I was using Reason 6 and Windows 8 with a CME M-Key to compose on computer. Recently, I have upgraded to Reason 8 and Windows 10 and I can no longer use my MIDi keyboard to input the notes. I cannot find a website to give me a driver to make things compatible and I have made a few enquiries in Pattaya but no one seems to stock MIDI keyboards. I bought the CME in Bangkok for 5000 baht, but I am unsure of the shop. I think it was an instrument shop in Paragon. Can anyone help me to either get a driver to make the CME compatible or (more likely) the supplier for a new MIDI keyboard, please? Many thanks in anticipation. On an off-topic matter, since upgrading Windows I can no longer use my webcam. I usually use my iPad for Skyping but it would be convenient to use my PC, too. If you happen to know what webcams are compatible with Windows 10 and where I might purchase one, I would be be grateful for the information.

theguyfromanotherforum Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi, It has been literally a decade since I used MIDI and Audio recording, but if it is any indication the problem is not your keyboard but reason 6 with Windows 10 setup. Every keyboard uses standard midi interface, so this is most likely a software issue. Why don't you just downgrade back to 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinot Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Got an iPad? Garageband is free and my keyboard works perfectly as well as my guitars and mic. Inexpensive adaptors and an iRig Pro mic. I love this set up. Plenty of inexpensive apps for musicians. I use my new iPhone 6S Plus. You really need the bigger screen iPhone for it to be a useful tool. Windows isn't known as a friendly platform for musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykray Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thanks for both responses. A friend suggested that I uninstall the MIDI driver and re-install it. This has worked. So, the news is that Windows 10 and Reason 8.3 and CME M-Key are compatible with each other and I am silly for not thinking it worthwhile to carry out a simple software solution. Rather like someone not trying - shut down and reboot. I appreciate both pieces of advice. Pinot, I shall bear in mind the possibility of using Garageband on my iPad.
