12 demo I could not get the midi to work

I downloaded the trial version yesterday. I could not get the midi to work. It recognized my akai mpk mini and m audio n49es. But nothing happens when I play them. I watched videos on installation and went thru the manual. and everything matched up. I got so frustrated I uninstalled it. Is there something wrong with the demo?. I use REason, Ableton, etc. NOne of them ever did this, especially when they recognized the hardware.

Hi,

How was your settings? Did you use the All MIDI Inputs? Are these MIDI Ports part of the All MIDI Inputs?

Do you use these MIDI Ports as an Input of any Remote Device?
