Strange MIDI Destination issue.

Hmm, how can I even start by explaining my situation. Please bare with me
I started a song two years ago when I still had a Virus and an Oxygen 8. I had those set as External Instruments. Under the External Instrument pop-up box, under MIDI Destination, I had created the Virus & Oxygen 8 under GM Devices. It somehow replaced GM Devices or perhaps renamed it? Anyway, everything worked fine for the past 2 years until I got rid of the Virus and Oxygen. I plugged in my old microKorg hoping the MIDI notes that I drew on the instrument line for the virus would just play the sounds from my microKorg. There it seems to me that the MIDI notes I drew aren't triggering back to my keyboard.
Now, though I can record what I'm playing on my microKorg to the track where my Virus use to be, but it won't play back the notes I recorded.
I'm guessing somehow I need to get rid of my Virus and Oxygen in my MIDI Destination list and bring back my GM Devices list? The song I have is much too layered for me to start a new file.
Any help would be great. Thank you.

Logic has no clue what instruments are connected via midi, it's just sending out notes on ports and cables you have chose to label Oxygen and Virus. You can label your instrument Elton John's CP70, and Logic doesn't know the difference.
I'm wondering if your current keyboard is the problem. Have you checked the midi settings? Is the keyboard set to the correct channel? Is it a local on/off issue? Or a bank select issue? or a Multitimbral issue, such as solo turned on, multi off etc. Is the keyboard plugged into exactly the same interface and port as the virus was 2 years ago? Is the little light on your interface showing data going out to the keyboard?
Try this troubleshooting method:
1. Set a loop in logic to repeatedly play a section with midi notes from 2 years ago. Solo that track. Check the meters in the mixer to make sure something is happening on that track.
2. Watch your midi interface. Is the little light flashing to show midi data being received?
3. Set your keyboard to multitimbral OFF. Check the channel number on the solo track in Logic. Set your keyboard master channel to that channel.
4. Check the channel volume settings on your keyboard. Once in multitimbral OFF does playing the keyboard still make a sound?
5. Find an old gm module lying around and plug your midi out from interface cable into that module instead of the keyboard.
6. This will sound stupid...but can work. Switch your in and out cables on both the keyboard end and the interface end. You know the one going into the interface works, but maybe the other one went kerploooey.
Remember, logic can route out to many ports and cables, which need to be set correctly by hand. But midi in is automatically accepted on all ports and cables (theoretically.) So it's not surprising that midi in is not giving you troubles, but midi out is much more finicky.

  • Cannot find "Midi Destination" drop menu in External Instrument control window...

    I'm using Logic X Pro, and am attempting to use Sylenth as a VST. In order to do so, I watched this video tutorial...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I-mNj-TLGM at minute mark 5:39, the External Instrument control window is displayed, and a drop down menu item titled "Midi Destination" is shown. I am not seeing that on my Logic.
    Can anyone please speak to this? Can you see this option in your window?
    Thanks so much.

  • Strange Wi-Fi issue in Mountain Lion

    Hello Mountain Lion Gurus/Users/All,
    Just yesterday I upgraded my 2009-mid-MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion (from Lion)
    I have this strange issue.
    I turn on my Wi-F
    Selected my home network from the list of all the networks Mac could find. (Actually this is the network I regularly use on all my devices.)
    It gets connected to my home network over Wi-Fi for 6 to 7 seconds. (I am able to browse pages, as a test, in these 6 to 7 seconds).
    Suddenly message pops up saying "Connection Timeout. Could not connect to network."   Where as, I am able to browse over the same network from other devices like my iPod Touch, Android :@ Device etc.
    Please help me.
    Chandra

    Chandra,
    Some people have found that setting a network location prevents this kind of problem.
    In System Preferences, choose Network.  Then Edit Location, the + sign and use any name for the location.  Then select the location in the Network preferences pane.  If you haven't already, joint the wifi network.
    You should also check that you haven't inadvertently messed up your settings in the advanced portion of the preferences.  While you're in there, click the button to renew your DHCP lease (in the TCP/IP tab).

  • Open hub destination issue

    Hi,
    In our project we have Client Instance (eg: BWPD) and Application server (eg: BWPRD) defined for load balancing.
    We have created open hub and assigned destination server BWPD.
    When i execute the DTP manually in BWPD, it runs succesfully.
    However, the same DTP when placed in the process chain fails with error message :
    No Such File or Directory
    Could not open file D:\usr\sap\BWPD\A01\work\Material on application server
    Error while updating to target ZXXXX.
    Options Tried:

    Tried with Application server it failed.
    Tried with HOST as option it failed.
    couldn't make out what is going wrong. Any thoughts ?

  • Osx 10.6.8 m audio midi keyboard issue, not recognised

    hi
    after updating the OS to the latest snow leopard i'm no longer able to use my midi keyboard (M-AUDIO Radium 61 usb powered)
    i'm using an M-Audio fast track pro usb external audio device and when i plug the midi cable, coming from the keyboard, none of my softwares recognise it (Logic pro, Ableton, Reason).
    the monitor led for the midi signal is flashing indicating that signal is received but no signal at all seems to be sent to the OS.
    i initially thought it might have been the audio device driver: outdated for the running osx (audio ins and outputs where behaving correctly anyway) and did update it. No changes
    i've also downloaded the latest keyboard's drivers (for osx 10.6.8 32bit), wich seemed superfluous to me since i'm using it via midi cable only, with no results.
    Tried by repairing disk permissions as well in disk utility (just in case..)
    tried my devices on a diffrent macbook installing an older version of snow leopard and they're doing theyr job properly
    tried using a Midi to USB cable converter instead (was working on the other computer)
    i don't have (i'm not sure at least) a backup for the previous osx upgrade to restore (is there a way to find out what version of the os is backed up within time machine?)
    any help will be highly appreciated

    Operating System: 10.10.1 (14B25) YOSEMITE UPDATE
    I've been experiencing problems with my Macbook Pro shortly after the two year mark of when I've purchased it. There are a few things that are going on. I recently verified my Macintosh HD disk through disk utility and it stated in red that there was an incorrect number of file hard links & then error: This disk needs to be repaired and to restart and then press "R". However, everything before that seemed to have passed. I have everything backed up on an external hard drive and use the time machine frequently. Another thing that has been happening, usually when I'm opening one my adobe programs, is that my screen will go white for a minute along with unidentifiable pink glitchy shapes that don't move. My computer has not been running like it used to and is running slow, freezing, and periodically going white --- as I just mentioned before. I just know that something isn't it right. I've been having to restart my computer by manually pressing the power button more than I've ever had over the past two years. I always work on my computer on a hard surface in a cool area & my fans seem to behaving okay. I also recently installed the Yosemite update for the mac sometime during this past November too and noticed slower running speed, more freezing, and longer times to boot up afterwards. Please speak up if you're experiencing problems with your 2012 Macbook pro too and especially after downloading the Yosemite upgrade. I don't see how it's in any way acceptable that I should have to deal with issues pertaining to my graphics card. Sorry for this post being a little all over the place.

    2. Checked SMART status, shows "verified".
    3. Did the utility disk check, shows everything to be OK.
    Checked Activity Monitor.  Kernel Task 650MB.  Is this my problem?
    I don't run anything fancy on my computer... Just Internet and email mostly.   So frustrated at this point. Is there anything else I should try before laying this MINI to rest?   Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Intel Mac Mini Core Duo Midi USB Issues

    Is anyone else having issues getting Midi devices to work with the Intel Mac Mini's? I have several Midi devices that are't working correctly event though I have installed the newest drivers.
    Currently I am having issues with a M-Audio Midisport 2x2 USB adapter. I loaded the newest drivers (ver 3.2.2) which are supposed to be universal binary to support the Intel Macs. When I connect the Midisport 2x2 to the Mac Mini I can not get it to receive Midi Output from the Mac.
    When I look in the Midi control pannel I can see that the Midisport has been installed, but all options to select it are greyed out. Also when I try to select it as the input or output there is NO option to select the Midisport from the pull down menu. It only shows the "Built-in Midi" as and option.
    The Midisport works fine on other non-Intel Macs. Please advise.
    Thanks!
    Mac Mini Intel Duo Core 1.66Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    It seems like the mini is doing alright so far. I think maybe the full erase solved whatever issue it was having. I also got my Core Duo Mini yesterday in the mail and it's performing like a champ. Definitely a nice machine.
    I'll close my question for now, since the Core Solo Mini seems alright. But, as a warning don't get on Front Row's bad side. I tried force quitting it because it was taking too long to load the videos folder and then tried shutting down from a terminal and ended up having to turn the machine off.

  • InDesign 5.5: Strange Printing Transparency Issues

    Hi guys, long time reader, first time poster. This forum has helped with a lot of problems, so thanks, and hopefully you can help with this one.
    I'm working on a multiple-spread page for a client that is giving me some strange issues when it's printed. The document has an image as a background for the entire page, and then a black box over the image with some text on top of it. For some reason, the black box with text is letting the image underneath show through, almost as if the box is 99% transparent or something. I've checked each box individually, and there's nothing in the transparency/attributes boxes. I'm not sure how, exactly, to solve this issue -- is there some sort of universal transparent image setting (for instance, set black to 99% opacity always or something similar)?. It's the only thing I can think of.
    InDesign CS5.5, OSX Lion. The files are a combination of TIFF and JPG images, and I get the same issue no matter what image format is underneath.
    Any feedback is welcome here.

    No problem, Peter. I've included a few shots from various pages (the problem stems to all black boxes placed over images over the 64 page document) on the links below.

    The third one is the page that I took the picture of the printout with my phone.
    I've tried this on an offset press and a digital press; with 'knockout group' ticked and not. For the life of me, I can't understand why the black is still overprinting on the image when it shouldn't be.

  • Strange audi sync problem & different, stranger video sync issu in sequence

    I have two strange occurances with one particular set of media that was downloaded from the same original source mini-dv (recording in dvcam) tape. I have not found the same issue on any other footage.
    1) when the media is imported into FCP, the audio is out of sync. it is slightly out at the beginning and then gets progressively worse.
    2) when this footage is used in a sequence, the video that show in the sequence is not the same as the video that is exported when this sequence is exported as QT movie (or any other export option) Like the audio the video out of sync gets progressively worse.
    - The original media is perfectly in sync looking at the digitized source ie: in Quicktime. There is no audio out of sync problem.
    - the only difference I could see in the file was that this media is 3.5mb data rate whereas all the others are 3.6mb.
    - other tapes from the same camera do not have a problem
    - I do all my downloading from a firewire deck and not from the camera
    - I upgraded from 6.0.1 to 6.0.4 (as did the QT 7.5 upgrade also) to see if that fixed the problem but to no avail.
    Very perplexing. I managed to work around this problem in a sequence whos deadline was looming by manually slipping the footage in the sequence the required number of frames. This is where it also gets odd. I was able to do this by
    - double click the clip in the sequence which then loaded that into the viewer.
    - position the playhead at the beginning of the clip
    - from the canvas select the go to position in master clip option which then loaded the masterclip into the viewer. the position in the masterclip was always the correct frame (ie the frame I expected to see as per my edit). The frame showing in the canvas was also the correct frame (but this would not be the case when exported)
    - the next thing i did was to use the slip tool, as soon as i held the slip tool over the sequence clip, the frame in the canvas would be the wrong frame (the frame i would see when I exported).
    - then i would just carefully slip the sequence clip back to the matching correct frame. So watching in the viewer, I would align the frame that showed in the viewer to the frame in the canvas.
    When done the frame showing in my sequence would be a completely different frame but when exported, the frame that I expected to see would be the exported frame.
    I could find no logic to the amount I needed to slip each time (I am sure there is logic but I couldnt figure out what that was). the clip at the end of the footage needed to be slipped -10:09, and this got progressively smaller to the clip at the beginning of footage needing to be slipped -:16
    Hopefully that wasnt too confusing.

    btw, i have tried recapturing the footage and i have offlined it, copied it to another location and onlined it in the new location to no avail. still have the sync and video in sequence issues.

  • Export to PDF- Colour Setting-------Convert to Destination Issue

    Have recently synchronized all colour management in adobe CS, after creating new output destination profiles for printing press. All seems well and good when photoshop files are in an kept in RGB with original source profiles. They convert to destination CMYK profile successfully.
    However if any of the images are in CMYK with a profile embedded, the end PDF does not convert these to new profile.
    According to the info that appears in pop up info when you hang cursor over 'Convert to Destination(Preserve numbers' on the export options for PDF, it says that any image with a profile will be converted to destination.  This does not seem to be happening, its almost as if the image has not got a profile attached, in which case it should then preserve numbers. I went back to double check file to see if this was the case, but the profile is definitely embedded. The only thing that rings slight alarm bells is that i the link info  for profile in Indesign, it says NA (Not Applicable).
    Can some prepress work flow expert and colour management guru please help.

    Doh!!! I am about to answer my own question, I have resolved this issue.
    In my colour settings in indesign  in the CMYK box in the Colour Management Policies
    I had 'Preserve Numbers (Ignore linked profiles)' checked. I have now changed this to 'Preserve embedded'
    I get it now! I was afraid to use preserve embedded in case it did not change on the destination. It seems it does. I got the terminology the wrong way round.  I hope this has helped somebody else other than me.
    Thanks all!!

  • Syncing Korg Prophecy to MIDI clock issues

    I have a Korg Prophecy with one of the earlier chipsets. There is a known issue whereby its arpeggiator locks to MIDI but does not synchronise to Song Position Pointer. As a result, although it runs at the tempo set by Logic Express, it is often 'off the beat'.
    As Logic Express seems to have quite a number of MIDI settings, is there anything I can set or do that will force the Prophecy to trigger correctly?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Strange CPU Performance issue Mac Pro, Logic 7.2.3......

    Hi there,
    I am experiencing a strange issue with Logic 7.2.3 and my Mac Pro.
    I am running about 70 tracks in a tune I'm writing, with a lot of the EQ and dynamics processed on a Liquid Mix, but am experiencing a lot of CPU spikes, and drop outs in logic.
    The System Performance meters are showing that one of the CPU cores is at full capacity, whilst the Activity Monitor is showing a total usage of about 40%.
    http://www.ephexis.co.uk/images/cpu-grab.jpg
    I have tried every combination of settings in the audio preferences, but cannot seems to get this track to play properly.
    With 71 tracks, this machine is currently LESS powerful than the G5 that I have been working on until purchasing the Mac Pro.
    I there anything else I can try? Are there any other means of controlling buffer size?
    I have a suspicion that this may have something to do with the Plugin Delay Compensation set to 'All' - But without doing this, I cannot use the DSP effects of the liquid mix to work on a Bus! Very frustrating.
    Many thanks for the help, any ideas at would be deeply appreciated,

    Great!
    Thanks for the tips guys.
    I have tried to find an offending loop or part in the sequence, but cannot find anything at all thats causing the issue.
    My suspiscion is that using the focusrite Liquid mix on a part, that is in turn going into a delay compensated bus, which has another Liquid mix plugin on it, is causing the issues. I use the total mix software in the fireface to perform the summing of the busses, which I think in turn may be causing the PDC to glitch a bit more.
    Which is a bit annoying, as the mix in this tune is my best yet!
    So I will attempt to remove the liquid mixes that are running in series in a chain, and see if thats the problem, but if that fails, time to re-format again!
    I'll let you know how I get on in the next couple of days!
    Thanks again,

    2x200GB Seagate mirroring

    AN OLD Matrox Mystique 4MB PCI  (new pci-e gfx card later...)
    A powerfull enermax coolergiant 600W ATX 2.0 power supply
    Latest official nforce4 drivers and bios
    It seems to be ok: installed winXP pro sp2 and updates, installed two Seagate in raid-mirroring with the nforce4 controller, installed some progs and utils, firewall is ok, prime95 go without problems for 1 our (more tests later), cpu temp is 34°C and sys temp is 30°C.

    Apparently no weird things...
    When i switch-on the Pc, for some seconds(  ̃10 secs) it don't want to boot, optical drives blink repeatly and the screen is blank, like a bad overclock... But the machine isn't overclocked, and the bios is ok, i think. After 10 secs, finally it go and run flawlessly, post and other things are ok. When i reboot in win, the 10secs-issue repeat itself. So this strange thing at the post is normal? Anyone with the same "problem"? For now the rig is ok when it logon in winXP...

    Hi all my friends 
    @JER101 >>> Ehrr i mean post, sorry 
    I had unplugged the optical drives, but the problem persist. When plugged, they blink for some times and after blinking the machine go into post-phase and after it boot in the correct manner. I think the PCI card is the problem, like some of you said... I will buy one pci-e card (obviously), but i hope things are not dangerous for now 
    In the mean time, i have a new problem: emule+firewall=BSOD. I know, there are tons of post about this issue around, but the solution is unclear... Tried to disable DEP, patched WinXP SP2 with latest things from winupdate, but nothing work for me, emule and the firewall generate a crash&reboot. Tried with the Marvell LAN, too, without success.
    Any suggestions? Usefull links? If i uninstall the "NVIDIA Forceware Network Access Manager" it will work without problem with a thirdy part firewall, like sysgate?
    P.S.
    What's the problem with nvidia drivers? C'mon nvidia, solve this damned issue!

    Hi
    I am facing an issue  while providing destination for RFC function module.I dont know  how to get the destination.
    Many of friends suggested me that we can get it through SM59. As I dont have authorisations for SM59,I could'not do.
