Arturia Minimoog: can't play with mac keyboard

Hello everybody!

I've just installed awesome Arturia Minimoog V and try to record it's sounds in GarageBand '11. I don't have a midi controller, so I'm using my mac keyboard.

It works fine for all the instruments, except for Minimoog. There is just no sound and nothing recorded.

When I open Minimoog V standalone app, I go to "Settings" and in "active midi inputs" I choose MidiKeys app (virtual keyboard). Then it works perfectly. But in GarageBand in Minimoog there is no "Settings" button, therefore I don't know how to play and record Minimoog.

A hard explanation, but your help would be much appreciated. I can make screenshots in case you didn't understand my problem.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion

What happens if you record with the grand piano, and then switch to the minimoog?

I record with the grand piano, I can hear the live sound and the recorded sound. Then I switch to the minimoog. I can't hear any sound no more, not even what I recorded with the grand piano.. The funny thing is that GarageBand indicates that I recorded minimoog, but it doesn't play it.

Seems like a bug. Or something wrong with inputs-outputs, but I have no idea what.

My mistake, I wasn't loading the minimoog vst correctly. Problem solved.
