I have a Novation Launchpad Mini connected directly via USB to my laptop. The lights of the launchpad are flashing, which means that it’s not able to connect. I also have a MIDI keyboard (Primax Midistorm M-4900) connected to my audio interface with a MIDI cable, and my audio interface (Steinberg UR 22 mk II) is connected to my laptop via USB.
Based on the commands lsusb and amidi -l only the Steinberg audio interface is recognized. I’ve tried 2 different DAW programs (digital audio workstations) and neither connects to either MIDI instrument.
Here are some possibly relevant command outputs:
amidi -l

Any ideas?
