I have a virtual machine on my Win 7 laptop setup to run XP. I have this all setup using Vmware Workstation 6 (don't recall the exact version#). With this I connect my midi controller (Akai LPD8) to the virutal machine and traktor recognizes it and it shows up in the midi setup as a device. The device shows up with the device name and in brackets [emulated]. When I use the controller Traktor does not recognize any midi input.

Does anyone have suggestions?

The reason I am using a Virtual Machine is so I can make mappings which are compatible with the older version of traktor which is in the VM as opposed to the Traktor 1.2.3 which I have on my main OS. I am looking for answers elsewhere and will create a tutorial on setting a correct configuration if others wish to do the same.
