Tracktion 7- Selecting MIDI in as input not an option

Hi all, new here, and a bit of a noob at DAWs.

I have T7. My midi controller is the M-Audio 61 es keyboard.

I've setup audio and midi devices (I've had Tracktion since T5).

The m-audio is recognized as a midi input device in the Settings tab. I've enabled Live Input Monitoring, and Enable Input Monitoring.

When I go to a new project (or any project), and left click a new track, "usb es 61" doesn't show as an input device option, as it did in T5.

My controller works with other DAWs/hosts.

I can trigger midi sounds only with my mouse on T7.

I've looked for new drivers/firmware for the keyboard, but none exist.

I've reinstalled T7, but nothing. I've installed the demo version of Waveform, and same thing.

My controller works with Logic, Magix, Kontact, and and every program I have. Could it be that Tracktion simply doesn't recognize M-Audio? I'd find that hard to believe.

I'm thinking my noobieness is a possibility, but I've looked at a mllion tutorials, and read the manual.

Just as in this tutorial, at 1:22, I simply don't have the option to select my controller, as it doesn't show:

If it makes a difference, I output to a Helix LT processor, linked to a powered monitor.

I've been at this for 2 weeks, and losing my mind, so would REALLY appreciate any input. Thanks in advance.

Oh, I've attached screenshots reflecting my Audio setup.

I can't see anything obviously amiss in what you've done.

There is a KVR forum specifically for Tracktion and Waveform: viewforum.php?f=22

Thanks. I didn't realize there's a specific forum for Tracktion. I'll move my thread there.
