I've been struggling to get the MIDI control going for the STM2448 mixer - Most of the time it's because I'm not doing something right...

I'm currently using the M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 and have successfully hooked it up to some of the sequencer controls in Orion which is one of the apps I really like.....

Because I'm new to version 5 of SFP I went on the Sonic Core website to see if there was a newer version of the software just in case there were bugs that were preventing me from controlling the STM2448 mixer as I just couldn't hook up any of the sofware controllers to the hardware M-Audio KSP 88.......
I found that there is a verison 5.1.2079 available which from what I've read on Sonic Core is a version that I'm required to pay for - Is this correct??? - I don't own Xite yet but do have a Scope Pro/Power Sampler and Pulsar 2 card not to mention an A16 Ultra.....


I've sent them an email via the link provided and a copy of my all key file so I should hear back off them in a day-or-two.....but in the meantime any feedback here would be welcome.......such as upgrade costs and whether or not there are/were any bugs in SFP 5 that wouldn't let me hook up the MIDI control or whether it was my stupidity that got in the way.....

Which ever it is there is a bit to talk about.......Thanks in advance.......
