Default MIDI with Firestudio Tube

Does anyone know how to set up MIDI with the firestudio tube? Ableton Live and Cubase do not seem to recognize the MIDI channels. I can set the firestudio tube as my midi input and output device, but when I go to select the channel, my only options are 1-16. There is no option for a MIDI channel.

If you have one of the other firestudios and you know how to do it with that, it might be the same, I'm not sure.

It might be a setting with ableton and cubase that I am missing, because I looked in the firestudio manual and all it says is what the MIDI connection is/does, but not how to set it up (therefore I am thinking all you have to do is plug the cables in)

any help will be appreciated! thanks

midi sends on channels 1-16. What are you using for a midi controller?

Problem solved!

If you have this problem, and you are sure that everything is set up properly, call presonus and see if they will send you a new midi breakout cable. I bet mine was not the only faulty one out there.. and from talking to them it sounds like they have had this problem before. Glad it wasn't the entire unit!
