ActionScript 3.0 -- Sending MIDI messages

I'm looking for ActionScript 3.0 methods that allow me to
send NoteOn MIDI messages and MIDI continuous controller streams
such as pitch bend.
Last time I checked Flash had very limited MIDI control -- it
could only play whole MIDI files! Does ActionScript 3.0 have offer
more specific control?
Anybody in the know?
MIDI is the most efficient and flexible music delivery tool.
It’s VERY powerful asset that Flash would be wise to support.
When Flash/ActionScript supports MIDI, you’ll see what I
mean. To date Flash has grossly underutilized the MIDI protocol.

I believe this is an important point, so I'll try saying it a
different way.
MIDI is to digital audio as vectors are to digital artwork.
It's great that Adobe leverages the efficiency of vector
graphic into Flash. Imagine if animators could only use pixel base
artwork in Flash... files would be huge, and flexibility and
editability dramatically reduced.
The lack of MIDI support in Flash’s "audio toolbox" is
tantamount to Flash without vectors.
I strongly encourage Adobe to expand ActionScripter by adding
extended MIDI support. PLEASE give ActionScripters methods for
sending MIDI messages, such as NoteOn MIDI and continuous
controller streams such as pitch bend. And give us tools for
accessing an array of available MIDI synthesizers. Ideally Flash
Player and Flash Player plug-ins will host a flexible synthesizer,
but in the meantime, allow us to access the synths in QuickTime
player, QuickTime plug-in, WMP or Java.

After I upgraded my iphone 4 with the ios 7.1.1 it locks up sending text messages. It will send a few, then mid conversation I will have to turn my phone off and back on, sometimes a few times, before it will allow me to send or receive messages again.

After I upgraded my Iphone 4 with the ios 7.1.1 it locks up while sending text messages. I can usually send a few then will have to restart my phone(often more than once) to get it to send and receive messages again. I have done a back up and complete reset and that has not fixed the problem. Have been told that the ios 7.1.1 just isn't compatible with the Iphone 4 so that's why it is locking up so often, but I am hoping someone else may have a better answer since it can't be undone. Thanks!

7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Apple Mail 7.1 (1827) Slow to Send Mail Messages

Apple Mail 7.1 delays the sending of messages from iCloud or third-party ISP mail accounts by 20 to 30 seconds. While this behavior is not 100% consistent, it is reproducible 70% of the time.
Restarts or quit & relaunch Mail.app has no impact. Apple Mail has had all night to sync my two accounts (1 iCloud account and 1 third-party ISP account)
No error messages are thrown, all mail does send successfully, eventually.
This problem occurs on both my Apple MacBook Pro 2.7 i7 mid– 2012 and 2.6 Mid-2012. One had a fresh copy of Mavericks installed and the other had an update from Mountain Lion.
Synchronization has been performed, as well, the rebuild command has been executed.
The behavior also occured during an attempt to investigate the issue when a Mail account (in this case, a friends iCloud account) was installed into a newly created computer user account (standard or admin)
Clearly, not the most serious problem to have but one that merits discussion and eventual resolution.

I am having the same issue with Mail 7.1 (1827). I have looked at all of the alternatives, but keep coming back to Mail. Airmail Beta, however, was outstanding. Write an email click send and it's gone like a rocket! If they keep developing, they will give Mail a run for the money.
That said, I like the search abilities in Mail and the smart folders. I keep coming back. Plus I like CMD+Shift+D to send. If I am out at a wifi spot and do an email, I really don't like having to sit there waiting for Mail to decide wether it wants to send or no. Perhaps I'll look at using alternative smtp ports? Maybe Mail doesn't like using port 26? Whatever the case, I wish they'd fix it.

Problem either sending text messages or receiving them

I have been having a problem for over a month. I have an HTC Thunderbolt and my boyfriend has a Samsung Galaxy II, We are both Verizon customers. Suddenly sometime last month, he stopped receiving text messages from me that are more than a sentence or two. We haven't figured out where the cutoff seems to be. But if I send him a message of any length even though my phone says it was sent, it wasn't received on his end. And suddenly a few days ago, he received a longer text message that I had sent him in mid July that he had never received before...and he received it twice. And he also received another old text message from the middle of July, as well, and it was combined with a part of a longer text message I attempted to send him on the weekend. I have no problem sending longer messages to everyone else I communicate with, but for some reason his phone isn't receiving my texts unless they are short messages.
He stopped at a Verizon store today and they told him it must be my phone. It doesn't make sense. My phone sends fine and as proven by the fact that he suddenly received a message over a month old last week, the message did leave my phone. It just took over a month to reach him. There has to be a problem between his number and mine or something within the settings of his phone must need to be changed to allow him to receive my texts when I send them.
I'd appreciate any technical help you can provide. This is really frustrating and aggravating at times when this is the only way we can communicate and our communication has a time requirement.

Hello to you Anbacheler!
I text all of the time and I know just how important it is for others to receive my messages. I could only imagine how frustrated you may be when your boyfriend doesn't receive your entire message.
Based on the information you've provided it is difficult to find the disconnect. I personally would prefer to troubleshoot both devices just to be on the safe side. You mentioned you both are on Verizon so that's what we will do!
The easiest step to start with is to completely delete and readd both of your contacts from each of your phones.
Then I would recommend deleting the Message threads from each other on your phones.
If either of you are using a third party messaging application, I would unistall that application for now and see if that corrects the issue.
Try these steps first and let us know if it worked or not!
Thanks!

Sending midi via Motif USB to Logic.

Can someone explain how to set up my Mac,Logic pro 9 & Motif es6 to send midi note messages to Logic? I just need to use my Motif as a midi controller.I downloaded the drivers on my Mac & hopefully it is there!
Thanks.

If it is installed correctly then...
Open Logic, create a new project... add a software instrument track... (You can add a software instrument to that track to hear notes at this point too) select that track.. and just play notes on your Motif6 and look at the transport bar to see if those notes are being received by Logic... They will appear under Note In...
If midi notes are not received then the Motif is not being recognised correctly by your Mac.. (It's actually nothing to do with Logic itself.. it's OS Xand the drivers you installed that control everything) and so you need to check you installed the drivers correctly but normally, it's pretty much plug and play....

Midi messages lost

I'm developing an application which relies on sending and receiving sysex messages with another machine. Sometimes could happen that the other machine send a lot of messages in a very short time. In these cases I noticed that the midi device often doesn't forward all messages to my receiver, in particular it seems that more time I have to spend on processing each message and many messages I'm gonna lose! For example:
public void send(MidiMessage message, long timeStamp) {
          byte[] data = message.getMessage();
          if (data[0] == (byte) ShortMessage.ACTIVE_SENSING)
               return;
          print(data);
     private void print(byte[] data) {
          System.out.print(number++);
          System.out.print(" - ");
          for (byte b : data) {
               System.out.print(Hex.toHex(b)+" ");
          try {
               Thread.sleep(1000);
          } catch (InterruptedException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          System.out.println();
Receive only 20 messages instead of 64! In other cases this behaviour it's not deterministic.
Can someone help me?
Thanks

HI,
Whilst Logged out go to the Messages Preferences > Accounts > Server Settings for the Google Login and change the port to 443 (Keep SSL)
If that does not work try deleting the account and re-adding it.

Sending the message content to the server failed. Attachment.

So I've been a Eudora user for more than a decade and just thought I'd try Mail and have been using it for about a month. This evening I was in the midst of writing messages and about halfway through, Mail would no longer send outgoing messages that contain attachments (I had sent messages earlier in the evening with attachements). I just get a response that says, "Sending the message content to the server failed." I have no problem sending messages that don't have an attachment.
I have two separate email accounts that I use. For both I use my own domain as the smtp server which is hosted through aplushosting.com. It's smtp.riversandcreeks.com. Server port is set to 25 and authentication is set to none. Everything has worked fine until this evening (and it literally stopped halfway through my evening email session so I'm sure this is not related to a system upgrade or other software changes).
I have spent about two hours trying all different settings. I tried changing authentication, screwed around with Network settings, and did just about anything I could think of (or read about trying after doing several searches on this board). I also trashed the Outbox in my Library and restarted the machine.
In one of the posts where someone seemed to be having the same problem, I saw something about changing the MTU setting but I'm not familiar with what that means and there was not enough background to explain.
My service provider is Comcast (just use them for the high speed connection but not the mail services) and I have one of their older RCA modems hooked into a wireless router that I access via airport.
If anyone has suggestions (or can refer me to other posts on this forum I may have missed please let me know).
Thanks!

However, there are
too many variables in your setup to yet be sure of
the cause.
Agreed. There are too many variables and they only seem to increase...
You describe your modem as older, but you have not
reported the make of router?
It's a Microsoft router (my other half's employer). It has worked fine though for more than two years.
Does it have ethernet
ports, as well as wireless? If so, do you have a
cable to test without wireless?
Yes, tried all that.
Have you tried powering down modem, router and Mac
for a couple of minutes, and then powering back up,
beginning with the modem, and then router?
Yes, tried that too.
MTU may be a factor, but the way things changed in
mid sending, is a little odd, and it is not as
frequently a factor with wireless. Later, I can give
you a link that may help check MTU and wireless, but
I need to research a bit on that.
Do you have a Comcast address, and could you set up
that Comcast account for a test?
That would be another project but I suppose I could call Comcast and figure it out and it may provide some additional insight. However that will not solve the problem as I am highly mobile and am using different hot spots on a daily basis. I was down at the Apple Store and tried on their wireless network (so presumably eliminating all the variables with my home network and isp and on the most Mac-friendly network I can find). Same problem. Messages with attachments won't go out but all other messages will. I do get a slightly different error message there. It says "Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator." I also have a ticket with my hosting service. They say they have not made any recent changes that would result in this problem. Will keep pursuing with them too to see if they have additional ideas.
I'm really perplexed as to what would be distinguishing between mail with attachments vs. those without. As an additional test I fired up Eudora and I can send out attachments fine.

Send MIDI with Applescript?

Hi.
Is it possible to transmit a MIDI-message via AppleScript?
I have a Griffin Powermate which I use to control my system volume. But when I have my external sound-card plugged in, system volume is disabled and I can't control it with the Powermate.
However, as my soundcard can be controlled via MIDI, I was thinking that if I could create a script sending the needed MIDI-message and "attach" it to my Powermate, problem would be solved...
any thoughts?

Hmm.. sorry - rebooted harmonizer - ok now.

Unable to send midi from Mainstage out to Rewire applications

I can't seem to find out how to send midi out from Mainstage to other applications, such as Reason.
I created an external instrument channel strip, but in the midi out -box out the channel strip I can only see the physical midi output from my audio interface. The Rewire application should be visible here as an option, shouldn't it - or is there another way to send midi out from Mainstage to be able to play for example Reason instruments with Mainstage? Any ideas what might be wrong? I have Reason open and it seems to be working as a Rewire slave as it should, but somehow it isn't visible as a midi port in Mainstage.
- Malmberg
Message was edited by: Malmberg

Hey Malmberg, I was able to get this to work by doing the following steps:
Opened Mainstage and my Mainstage concert file first
Then opened Reason (I only have the demo)
Selected a patch I wanted to use in Mainstage to Reason
Clicked + to create a new Ext channel strip
In the MIDI Out box, I used the dropdown list and choose Reason (see image)
It could be that the sequence you used so open MS first, then Reason

Send MIDI Sequence to GarageBand

Hello,
Is it possible to write a Java program that OSX will see as a virtual MIDI device (just like it might see a real MIDI USB keyboard) so that I can programmatically generate and send MIDI sequences through GarageBand?
I am experienced with Java and C and I have written device drivers. But I am not sure where to begin because I have zero experience with the javax.sound.midi package.
I envision the following: When I run the program from a terminal it initializes a virtual device and then pauses. At this point if GarageBand is running I should see the familiar "The number of midi inputs has changed" message. Then each time I hit <Enter> and it plays my coded MIDI sequence. I can select a different instrument in GarageBand and hit <Enter> again and it will play the sequence again using the new instrument. Pressing 'x' or a special character will cause the device to deinitialize again triggering the aforementioned GarageBand message and the Java program will exit.
Is this possible?
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
Mike

Hi,
I have a similar question, so I'm curious if you ever found an answer to yours. I was wondering if I could get a Java sound Synthesizer for a native synthesizer AudioUnit (specifically Ivory Pianos). It doesn't look like it.

Does The Creative Live! Platinum Support SysEx MIDI Messages?

I have the old Creative Li've! Platinum. The one with the 5.25" front panel with MIDI output/input. Does this support sending SysEx messages over MIDI?
Thanks!

The Li've series card has completely unsupported by Creative.Any question about it will not be answered by them.So I think,as a customer we should give up Creative too!?For their bad attitude to their customers!

I cannot open iCal because of a problem. Can anybody help me? The computer will not allow it to open and sends a message to apple each time. The icon has gone from the dock, but ical works on my iPad and I am afraid to sync it with my computer.?

I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2).

I have three iPads and one iPod and one iPhone. How can I message between them without sending the message to all of them. You send the message to your email address but all of them are set up und one account.

You can have a different receiving email in the Messages app on each device : Settings > Messages > Receive At . I'm not sure that there is a different way to have the message only go to one device.

Cannot send email via AOL on iPad2 - "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."

My CEO has an ipad2 and I set it up w/ AOL. She cannot send any email via her AOL account from her iPad. She gets a message that says "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed." We've tried it on wifi and on 3G (Verizon version). I've removed the account and added it, I've tried setting it up as an IMAP account vs. using Apples standard AOL mail setting and nothing seems to work. The SMTP settings are smtp.aol.com, port 587. I've tried adding an alternate server/smtp, but I haven't been able to find anything that works. Any advice or other people having this issue? It works fine sending an email from her aol web mail. And unfortunately, having her sign up for a gmail account is not an option. Thanks

Interesting. Firstly I have been on AOL since the early 90s with no current intention to switch as my primary personal email account.
I have two email accounts on my iphone - AOL and my email from my business website. I deleted both and then recreated first the business account and then the AOL account. Same error. Then I wasn't sure what you suggested but I turned off the AOL SMTP server and selected the business email SMTP server by turning it on with the same result. I still get the error "A Copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the mssage content to the server failed."
Perhaps this problem will get fixed by IOS 6. AOL will not talk to me unless I pay and Apple says its not their problem. So for the time being I use the AOL web interface in the iPhone's Safari to send emails from the phone.
