Reaper and Arturia Keylab 49 Mk. 3

I have the latest version of Reaper and I bought the Keylab Essentials 49 Mk. 3 from Guitar Center today.

I am not very technical with all of this so please be kind.

I cannot for the life of me get this thing to work with Reaper properly. I have followed what tutorials I can find (Youtube, Reapers forum, Arturia forum and here) but I cannot seem to get this thing to work.

I can get it to work with Analog Lab Pro V outside of Reaper but the VSTi plugin is not triggered by the keyboard although I can make it work by using the mouse and pressing the virtual keys.

I would also like to use it to trigger MT-Power drums.

I am using the Mackie setting, and selecting. I am able to get the controls on the keyboard to record, play, stop etc.

I would be greatly appreciative is anyone who has this controller working with their system to please let me know how to get it working.

I have Windows 11, latest build of Reaper. USB is plugged straight into the machine and not a hub. I have un-installed and reinstalled the midi control center and the Analog Lab Pro v a couple of times now, rebooted the computer, etc.

If I can't get this working, does anyone have a suggestion of a similar product that would work?

Thanks!
