Realstrat key switches and Cakewalk Music Creator 3

[meatmanager]

Are there known problems with Realstrat keyswitches in Cakewalk's MC3? I cannot get the keyswitches to function using the piano roll view. I've made sure I'm in solo mode, and I've double checked to make sure the led light in the top left of the key switch box is turned on and the indicator light shows up on the Realstrat vitural keyboard, but the effect does not play, nor does the effect box itself change colors when the entered event is played in the piano roll view. I've read in other posts that sometimes there is a difference in octaves between the Realstrat virtual keyboard and the VST host keyboard, so I have tried my c-0 activated keyswitch in the c-1 and c-2 positions, but still to no avail. Effects DO work from the main Realstrat window, but I'm at a loss to know how to get any effects to work from the keyswitch window. Has anyone else had this problem, and are there any ideas on how I can overcome it?
Thanks,

Because I was using Cakewalk's, 'snap to' feature, my effect was starting at the exact same instant that the note I wanted to 'effect' was starting. As soon as I moved the effect start time so that it began a few clicks before the note, the effect worked fine.
