Unable to Trigger keyswitches with keyboard - noob

Using Session Horns Pro with Sonar/Cakewalk. I'm new NI software. All is well with setting up an instrument - recording, playback, etc. My keyboard is a Keystation 61 MK3. My External sound is a Focurite Scarlett Solo.

Here's the trouble: My keyboard will not trigger the keyswitches. For example, if I hit C2, it does not trigger the C2 keyswitch - using either my mouse and my keyboard.

With this same setup, my keyswitches work using Opus.

Thanks!

Thanks, Bryn. I'll try playing with the octives and see if I can learn anything.

For what it's worth, I tried key switches with my midi keyboard and (besides a little confusion with them being well below my keyboard range, so octave shifting was needed) they seem to work. Also works with the in-Kontakt keyboard for me. Is it possible your other setup is filtering out some range of notes (I doubt this would be the case if you changed the key switches to C2 etc. but for me they default to C-1 and maybe somehow those are removed in your setup?) Sorry, this probably isn't much help - best of luck figuring it out.

GOT IT!!

I had to change the octave in both the Kontakt keyboard AND my MK3 keyboard. And there they are.

Thanks Bryn!
