Nope, it seems like so far everything is working correctly.

See, the "problem" is that the device is ABSOLUTELY NOT a joystick, nor do the drivers even attempt to make the device look like a joystick. The device is a MIDI device, and the programming API for the device specifically says you have to access the device as a MIDI device.

Communicating with a MIDI device from LabVIEW isn't impossible, but it does require some community-written libraries in order to do it - here's a white paper that describes how to communicate with MIDI devices in LabVIEW.

Good luck.
