I have purchased a oxygen 8 midi controller in hopes that it would help me develop drum tracks. I am using cubase LE as the host. using the im7 vst plug in at the moment. I Cubase recognizing the controller, but i dont understand how to get it to use the midi controller to convey sound. when I open the Key editor for the midi track I can click on the on screen keyboard with the mouse and hear the sounds but I cant hit the keys on my controller and get them. Can anyone give me some guidance on what to do next? Do i have to program a drum map? is it harder than it should be to accomplish what i need to do, or is it just a newbie mistake that im going to kick myself for missing? Thanks for the help in advance.
