midi controller communication problem

Denis's icon

Hello,
I'm trying to use a Kenton Killamix Mini with Max.
Max recognizes the controller, I can select it as input device, but no ouptut comes from ctlin or midiparse.
The tweak I found is to use a midi monitor (Midi-OX), which correctly handles the controller, then send the monitor's output to a virtual midi port (LoopBe1) then send the virtual port's output to Max, then I get the midi information in Max.
But... I find it quite stupid to use two other softwares to be able to use midi in Max.
Unfortunately I have no other midi controller to try if they work.
I updated my Killamix firmware, but it doesn't work better than with the older firmware.
Anybody had this case? any idea to solve it?
thanks.
