No midi control in GB '08 with keyboard via Alesis io2, & no output via io2
The lengthy title sums up the two key issues I'm having.
I'm using an Alesis io2 USB interface, to run guitars and midi controller keyboards (goldstar MK49 & Terratec Midimaster Pro) into GB '08.
There're no problems getting the guitar into GB and my Guitar Rig 3 plugin, and no noticeable latency on monitoring via the system output (active speakers from headphone output). Until three days, ago I was also using the keyboards to successfully control software instruments in GB.
In detail, the issues I'm experiencing are:
*1) MIDI Keyboard*
After attempting to create a new aggregated audio/midi device in the Audio Midi Setup utility, I can no longer get the keyboards to work. I get intermittent notes at random and also when using the keyboard data sliders, but mostly silence. Previously I had no problems with velocity sensitivity, note, modulation, pitch or track level control. Now, I'm getting nothing other than random notes.
It appears that GB, my MacBook or both are now unable to make any sense of the midi data they're receiving. I've deleted the aggregated device via the same utility but still no control. I've not yet found a 'MIDI reset' option in system prefs or the audio/midi utility. Any suggestions how I get my bits of gear talking to each other again?
*2) Audio output via Alesis io2*
SInce getting this USB interface I have been unable to route any audio back out of my MacBook through it; either to headphones from the built-in headphone jack, or monitors from the 'main L/R' connections. System prefs and the audio/midi utility both see the io2 as a device with 2x ins and 2x outs, but both tell me the device has no output controls.
Creating a new aggregate device didn't work, so any ideas how to resolve this one? Also, could creating this new aggregate device have contributed to my first issue?
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.
I would start by trying the i/o 2 with garageband in another user account to find out if it's a local or global problem.
Then with the alesis plugged in make sure that all your settings in the audio/midi setup utility are correct for the device.
A class compliant device means if they build the interface to a agreed upon spec it will be recognized and be able to use the apple driver (core audio). It did work because you were able to use it and change it's function when making it part of aggregate device.

I can't control volume in iTunes with keyboard
Yes nachit, I have the same problem.
I've noticed that when I switch between the output audio devices (i.e. Built in speaker to headphones), the volume control fails.
I've already opened a topic yesterday. At this time, no answer.

How do I MIDI control Waves GTR3 stomps with a StealthPedal in Logic 9?
I'm trying to get Waves GTR3 stomps working within Logic 9 (9.1.6) using my StealthPedal as the external MIDI controller. The OS X is 64-bit (10.6.8) and Logic 9 is brought up in 32-bit mode. If I use the pedal with the standalone GTR3, all works as expected but within L9 I cannot get the ''Learn'' function to work - if I bring up Amplitube 3, everything works as expected, but with GTR3 the Learn will not appear using ctrl-click. I am bringing up GTR3 as an AU MIDI-contolled effect in L9 as I do with Amplitube 3 or any other plug-in I want to control externally - for audio I go through a side-chain to incorporate an audio channel.
Simple answer from Waves:
The MIDI function of the GTR will not work properly (or at all) in Logic. -
macbook pro 15" mid 2010 i spilled water on keyboard now it wont power on if the battery is connected and the keys on keyboard doesnt work it works fine with no battery and external keyboard if i order a battery and new keyboard will every else work again lik it did before
If you have records that show that you've taken your MacBook Pro in for a year to fix the machine, I would escalate the problem to Apple Customer Relations - unfortunately I don't have a number for Spain.
It would only seem logical to me that if you've been trying to have the machine repaired during the time that the 'recall' was in effect that you should be eligible for a new logic board. But only customer relations will be able to make that call.
Good luck - take the issue as high up the food chain as you can and see what happens.

How Stop Pop-Up Window: Allow Fullscreen With Keyboard Controls?
How can I cause the cessation of the pop-up window that asks me, "Allow fullscreen with keyboard controls?"
In the last month or two (January- February of 2013), this black, semi-transparent pop-up has appeared every time I go to full screen in the game Battle Pirates on facebook.
After numerous iterations, this confirmation request has become completely unneccessary and nothing more than an unwelcome annoyance.Tom,
Moderators have the authority and privilege to mark answers as correct, in addition to the original posters. ANY moderator here could have marked it that way.
The Bug report/Feature Request link is not a "vote" page per say, but a place to submit a request for a feature you'd like to see added or dropped from Flash Player. It's the best way to voice a concern or "wish" for a feature, since the development team reads the reports/requests. Management who'd make the decision to add or remove something won't read about it here. They WILL hear about it from development. -
I am running 10.8 and I am trying to get a E-mu 1x1 midi/usb connector to work with my keyboards. It's not working with any keyboard at all. I believe it is a Mainstage/Mac issue. Mainstage can recognize the the interface but it won't work.
Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

How Stop Pop-Up Advisory: "Allow Fullscreen With Keyboard Controls?"
Is there any way to stop the repeteing ad nauseum and excruciatingly annoying pop-up queery: "Allow Fullscreen With Keyboard Controls?" everytime one expands a Flash window to full screen?
Similarly, is there a way to turn off the "<webpage address> is now fullscreen. Press Esc to exit." advisement, which reemerges every time one's cursor grazes the top of the screen?I hear you. There is no official way to get this done at this time. If you have a few minutes, I'd encourage you to visit this bug report and leave a comment/vote.

Brightness control does not work with the bluetooth keyboard connected on my iPad2. Please someone could help me ?
Julien-
I have the Apple MC184LL/A Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard. The brigtness control works with mine, as do most of the other functions.
Try cycling the keyboard off and on. Hold the power button until the green LED goes out. Then press it one more time to turn it back on.
You might try resetting the iPad's network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. Then you may need to reconnect your WiFi and Bluetooth.
If that doesn't help, try resetting/rebooting the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart in a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

Volume control keys not functioning. PC model: s5268hk, with keyboard model: KG-0851
I am using a desktop slimline model: s5268hk, with keyboard model: KG-0851. I don't remember what program I installed that caused the trouble but anyway, right now- it is not functioning like the usual. I re-installed the driver from HP support yet nothing has changed. I appreciate any advice you can provide, thanks to everyone in advance!
You may have to go back to a known good system restore point.
Right mouse click on my Computer, select properties, then advanced system setting then restore. When you get to the restore window, check the box to show all available restore points and pick a date where your know when your PC worked correctly.
If you are using a Norton AV product then turn off "tamper protection" before you attempt a restore or it will fail.

Ring control with keyboard shortcut
Sorry, posted this in the wrong forum!
Hi all,
Is there a way to assign shortcut keys to each items in a ring control? The ring control that I have currently has 40 items. My intention is to have it as follows:
[1] Item1
[2] Item2
[3] Item3, etc...
So, once the ring control is active, user can type in "20" to select item #20.
I tried EVENT_KEYPRESS, but as soon as the ring control pop-ups, I can no longer trap any key press events.
Thanks,
YL

Popping up the menu isn't the same as the control having focus for keyboard entry. They are mutually exclusive. One way to do what you want is to basically have to make sure the ring has KeyFocus so you can use the Input Device Control VIs to read the keyboard. You can, for example, set the KeyFocus on a MouseDown event, and unset it for a MouseUp. Then, in the Timeout case for the event structure you can be monitoring the keyboard to see what keys are pressed and act if the ring has KeyFocus. See attached (LV 8.2) as a starting point.

After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen on 2nd? page of boot. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans run at full speed, machine boots then runs normal except the dvdrw will not . The mid 2011 IMAC had the same problem with LION. I changed hard drives, formatted, and installed a clean install of latest os x mavericks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use the uninstaller provided with the Sophos software. You can uninstall CUDA via the preference pane. Be sure you remove the com.nvidia.CUDA extension which is located in the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. Not sure if Fan Control has an uninstaller so you will have to do it manually:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
1. AppZapper
2. AppDelete
3. Automaton
4. Hazel
5. AppCleaner
6. CleanApp
7. iTrash
8. Amnesia
9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
Be sure to remove your two Login Items. Finally do this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
In Logic Pro 9, how many midi controlled software instruments do you get...?
In Logic Pro 9, how many midi controlled software instruments do you get and is there possibility to download more as it says 40 on the programs info on the Mac Store, as i intend to compose on it but with only 40 instruments it's not really worth it.
So i was just wondering whether it let you download more for free.
Thanks for reading
~MattYes: I too am interested in the software instruments available in Logic Pro: one has to be a bit wary of the jam packs because there don't seem to be many solo instruments included. But I looked at the Logic screen in an Apple store the other day, and it worked like GarageBand in
this respect: you created a new track choosing the software instrument option and a whole lot of instruments came
up in a column on the right: lots of solo wind instruments, plenty of keyboards and guitars of course and not very many solo strings, only one violin, in the world music subsection under Irish fiddle. Yehudi Menuhin
where are you when we need you?
What I've been trying to find out is which part of the purchase does this long list of software instruments arrive with, because it's basically the only reason
I'm interested - I get on fine with gb but it
Just hasn't got enough instruments, and as I say the jam packs don't seem
to resolve this ? Or do they? Could someone please help
me with this? -
My midi controlled sounds cut off when controller keyboard note is lifted creating a click as the "sample is stopped" any Ideas ?
this is domianent on piano patchesThanks for your reply Blueberry. The fact that I have overlapping objects is not in dispute here. What effect does it have? I don't understand what difference it makes in terms of the operations within MainStage2. That's what the question is.
As it turns out, there are several objects highlighted in blue (in layout view), but that doesn't tell me what it means. In the layout view, I had put pedals and switch controllers together based on the keyboards they are connected to, and they match the physical layout I have on the floor. I also put pitch and mod wheels next to each of the keyboards. I don't know whether I need to do this, but I thought it would help to see what's going on, and to map functions with controls.
Is it an innocuous message telling me that the graphic might not be clear, or is it saying that there is an underlying configuration issue which will prevent operation ? If it's graphical, then it still looks like I want it to look, but if it's something programmatic which will disable functionality, then that's a different story. In that case, I want to know how to resolve the issue, otherwise there is no issue from my perspective. Things look like I want them to look.
Still looking for something more conclusive.
Thanks,

Is it possible to assign MIDI control to change tempo?
I would like to be able to change tempo (say, from 120 to 180 bpm) by using a fader from a MIDI keyboard (Edirol PCR-30). I can assign MIDI commands to Logic's buttons, volume, pan... but I can't figure how to do it with tempo. Any help would be appreciated.
Environment-->New-->Fader-->Specials-->Tempo Control
You get a fader which you can then assign a MIDI control command to.
I've heard somewhere that this is really buggy in recent years so use at your own risk, but at least in theory that's how you do it.

MIDI control besides the basics
Hi,
I'm rocking iPad Garageband from an M-Audio Oxygen49 MIDI controller keyboard.
I'd like to use the sliders on my keybaord to control different parameters in the instruments, like the filters on synths, or the drawbars in the organ.
Does anyone know if these instruments can be controlled in this way by MIDI?
Thanks
PaulAnyone got song position midi control to work with the duet or any other control surface?
The Key Command dialog handles much better with any midi controllers. It supports multiple midi events, sysex messages etc... For example I can use same CC# number with different ranges to control Rewind, Forward i.e CC12 ( 0-0 ), CC12 ( 1-1 ) assigned for different buttons of my external controller.
