Is there a trick to getting your keyboard to trigger the 8 sounds in Tonic? I'm on Ableton Live, all other synths easily see my AKAI MPK 49 controller. Right now NO sounds are triggered when I press the keys.

This shouldn't be a problem normally. Check the MIDI Config window in MicroTonic to see that you are receiving on all channels. Try clicking "Reset" in that window if everything else fails. That should reset MicroTonic to play the drum channels with C1 (note #36) and up.
