MIDI Keyboard Stops Working After Launching Vienna Ensemble Pro 7

Hi everyone,

I’ve been experiencing a persistent issue with my Studio Logic SL88 Grand MIDI keyboard since I started using Vienna Ensemble Pro 7 (on a PC running Windows 10). Here’s what happens:

  1. I launch Vienna Ensemble Pro 7 server.
  2. I load my server project.
  3. Then, I open Cubase 14 Pro.

At this point, my MIDI keyboard stops sending and receiving MIDI data entirely. Resetting the keyboard doesn’t resolve the issue; the only way to fix it is to turn the MIDI keyboard off and back on again.

This happens every single time I follow the above steps. I’ve been using Cubase for years and never encountered this issue until I started using Vienna Ensemble Pro 7. I installed Vienna Ensemble Pro 7 about a week ago, and the problem started appearing since then.

Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance for your help!
