Default Help! No sound from new keyboard

Hi, I've just bought an M-Audio Keystation 88 MK3 keyboard, it is connected to the PC via USB. I can use it with other software (eg. Cantabile) but I cannot get any sound in Reaper.
What I did:
- open Reaper and make sure the Keystation is listed and enabled in the Input Devices options
- create a new virtual instrument track, choose a suitable plugin (eg. Organ One) and arm the track for recording for good measure
- make sure record monitoring is ON for the track and that the track is selected to accept input from any input device (MIDI included)
There is no sound at all when I press the keys on the keyboard.
PLEASE tell me there is a way to make it work

does your keyboard's MIDI channel match the VSTi's MIDI channel?


are you seeing any meter activity on the track?

I am breathing again, I think I solved the issue.
The keyboard is seen in the midi input devices section as two separate devices:
- Keystation 88 mk3
- MIDIIN2 (Keystation 88 mk3)
With both devices enabled for both input and control messages, the keyboard is working as expected.
This was not necessary in Cantabile, the operation was truly plug and play.
