Troubleshooting
If you have any trouble setting up your ExC3, the first thing to check is whether the controller is working in a Midi monitor.
Either install and run a Midi monitor as described in this link. Midi Monitor
Or use the MIDI Monitor built into the ExC-3 configurator. Follow the instructions on this page to the bottom where you wil find details of the Midi activity monitor.
Once you have established it is working in the Midi Monitor you need to move back to configuring your DAW .
