Can GB08 recognize Specific Midi keyboard voices (Roland XP-10)

Hello all,
After searching the posts, I think I know the answer, but would just like to verify (set-up listed below):
Can GB08 recognize my specific keyboard (Roland XP-10) and its unique voices? I can play and recieve midi properly, but am limited to GB's voices. I specifically miss my fiddle...I guess I could simply play into a real instrument track through the line-in, but that kind of defeats the whole midi idea.
Christoph wrote in another post:
"No, GB doesn't know these synths, would be asking a bit too much. So you'll have to find the sounds using GB's internal synths or any external instruments (AUs or soundfonts) that you can find."
I have tried manipulating the instrument generator, but to no avail. I am still perusing the manual and discussions in hopes of finding a "duh" revelation, but any light you folks could share would be greatly appreciated. I am still trying to learn about AUs and soundfonts. I'm an old musician, but a GB newbie (was using cakewalk before).
Thanks in advance,
D
Roland XP-10 connected to MacBook pro via M-audio midisport 2x2 USB. MBpro recognizes the midisport 2x2 for what it is, but can it see the Roland out there on the other end....

Macbook no longer recognizes my midi keyboard

Hello folks. I'm having this problem where my macbook no longer recognizes my midi keyboard (M-Audio Radium 61.) I've had it working fine in the past through this midi to usb converter, and now the usb converter still lights up and shows data flowing when I have it plugged in, but for some reason the computer just doesn't seem to see it. The macbook also doesn't see this aggregate device I had working the other day too. But it sees other aggregate devices that are made up of the same outboard audio interfaces I have. Sunday was the first time I had my whole setup working with the keyboard running into Reason, out to Ardour via Jackpilot and out through my audio interface via the aggregate device (which is actually just made up of the inputs and outputs of my M-Audio FastTrack Pro because for some reason the computer sees them as separate devices... different point of contention...) Anyway, so now today was the first time I tried to set it all up the same way again since Sunday and I can't get them working. Any thoughts?

Use a data recovery product such as the ones listed here, and then get a replacement drive.

My comuter does not recognize my midi keyboard

how do i make it recognize my midi keyboard

How are you connecting the midi keyboard to the computer? USB? Firewire?
What type of midi keyboard are you using? I use a Yamaha MOTIF ES 8. On my keyboard, there is a setting for my midi out port. For instance, I am connecting to my computer via a USB port. I have to set my keyboard midi out to "USB". Additionally, have you installed the midi driver for your keyboard in your system preferences? You need to let the computer know what midi channels you are transmitting and recieving on.
You might try setting your global midi I/O to "omni". That will transmit data on all 16 midi channels. OR...
Many people default the I/O to channel 1.
These are just some thoughts. I don't know if they are helpful. Good luck.

How can I use two midi keyboards to control two different patches?

Assigning External MIDI keyboard voice to a Software Instrument

Alright, so, here is my setup. I am using Logic Pro 9, a Yamaha MO8 Synthesizer, an M-Audio USB to MIDI converter cable interface, and a 1/4" jack to USB converter cable for audio. On my synth, I have 5 seperate tracks sequenced together. On LP9, I create 5 Software Instrument tracks, assign each one to a separate MIDI channel and then use a MIDI clock to record them all at once. They record fine but it just seems to be MIDI data. Since the software instrument tracks have no voice applied to them, there is no sound. So, my question is, how can I assign a voice to these tracks from my synth or how can I record audio directly from these tracks?
Thank you.

so you have it connected via USB? And is that direct, or a hub? If it's a hub, rule out (common) hub failure by bypassing it and going direct to the computer. After each step, check it with "Audio MIDI Setup" (utilities folder). Make sure the Roland is represented in Audio MIDI Setup with an icon of it's own. If not you would need to "add device" at the top of the A.M.S. window. Next would be to try a different cable.
If you're using an interface, does it have MIDI (5-pin) ports? I'm pretty sure your stage piano has them, you could get an old-school MIDI cable and try it that way. (midi out from piano to midi in on interface)
have you considered an animal sacrifice?

Can't play via midi keyboard - but only one song!

I am using logic 7 now for over a year. all my songs are ok.
but there is one single one on which I can't play keyboard notes on the
software instruments. it seems all midi events do not arrive at the song.
the transport window doesn't show any events. in the environment,
if I go to the "Input View" layer, I can see midi notes being received!!!!
but somewhere on the way they get lost.
that's strange as for all the other songs there's no problem at all.
so it must be something song specific. any ideas?
the input filter check boxes in the midi settings are not checked, btw.
thanks for any help, really appreciated, as it drives me nuts, I'd like to
finish that song...

You say this affects Audio Instruments; does that mean that if you use external devices, they play back okay?
If the note events are being received in the Environment, then it sounds like either they are then being routed away from the track you intended, or they are being muted.
First check for muted tracks, & then for soloed tracks (since these will mute all the others). Make sure you can see all the tracks & busses when you look!
Next, look at the input object which is receiving MIDI & see where it is routed. Unless it is routed to the track you want, you won't get the result you need. You can try switching it to another Audio Instrument to see if that makes a difference.
Also check inserts, in case you are (e.g.) gating the input!
I assume playback of previously-recorded tracks is not affected?
Do regions get created when you record (even though you can't hear anything), & if so, can you see note events when you inspect them in the editors?

Can I use a MIDI keyboard as an input device for a software instrument?

I have a Casio CTK-2100 that I am currently playing around with in Logic Pro 9. It can record and playback the different instruments fine using MIDI tracks. But I was wondering if it is possible to use the keyboard as an input device for a software instrument instead of the "Step Input Keyboard".
Is it? If so, how do I set it up?

Yes, the terminology can be a bear, many, many years ago when I started using Logic the manuals were written completely by the programmers, while they were quite humorous in places the were also really hard to understand so I learned/realized.. you can't really do anything so wrong it's going to destroy your computer so why not go ahead and experiment. I learned the basics of Logic without a manual, months later when I went back to find some some details I could figure out the manual made a lot more sense.
Logic has been somewhat Appleized but it's not really an Apple program, it was purchased almost as developed as it is now... a lot of the additions a fluff to make it easier to understand for new users while at the same time there are some real improvements.
This is personal opinion: With all of the forums/online tutorials...etc...etc. It seems users are learning (but not understanding) the same things, plus everyone wants to use it right away so nobody takes a deep breath and investigates on their own. Logic is a deep, deep program, while learning don't be afraid to go off on a tangent and explore the program without any other input, it can actually be inspirational. One other thing good about the manual or "Online Help", in looking up a function you will invariably come across a related concept that will provide further insight.
And..... have fun.

Seperate my midi keyboard with two or more software instruments

How can I seperate my midi keyboard with two or more software instruments?

Sorry I was not clear in my story. I do understand the concept of MIDI transferring info and not actual sound. The problem is, I record a string pad from my keyboard onto GB (with a USB connection) but then I open a new track to record along with it using an electric piano sound (also from my keyboard, not from GB's internal sound). But when I record the new E. Piano part onto the song, it automatically converts the original string pad part that has been recorded into an E. Piano sound.
My question is this. Is GB not able to recognize two separate sounds or does it apply the same MIDI message to all software tracks? I find it odd that it would not let you record two or more different sounds onto the same song.

Can I get Garageband to recognize the drum kit channel on my midi keyboard?

I can pull up a large selection of drums on one of the channels which are located on the first 16 white keys of my midi keyboard, unfortunately they aren't accessible like the other midi instruments but are on a channel all on their own. I am using a Keystation 49e from M-Audio. The problem is GB only interfaces with the advanced functions on the keyboard if it's set to channel 2 and the drums are on a separate channel. Also can anyone tell me why Boldt pack volume 3 only produces a sine wave sound? Thanks.

How can I get Log Express to recognize my external keyboard? - NEWBIE

I'm using a Lexicon Lambda phantom powered converter (I think that's what it's called) to run my Left and Right 1/4" cables to, from my Kurweil master out. Then the USB cable from the Lexicon out, to the Mac. How do I get Logic Express to recognize the Kurzweil so I can record the Kurzweil's on-board sounds rather than using it as a Midi controller?
Very new to Logic and all of this-any help is appreciated in layman's terms.

OK - got logic to recognize the Kurzweil keyboard on a new track, I can hear the on-board Kurzweil piano sounds, but Logic is not recording it. what gives?

Can't hear MIDI keyboard thru GarageBand (or anywhere else)

I have a year-old MacBook running Leopard, and a Midiman (now mAudio?)49 Keystation USB controller (keyboard). The MIDI setup utility recognizes one MIDI input, but I can't hear the keyboard in Garage Band 3 or any other app I use (Songworks II). I've tried different input settings in Garage Band preferences, System Preferences and in the Audio MIDI setup utility, to no avail. The same keyboard works fine on my iMac G4, running the same software. As I said, the keyboard is USB powered. Is it possible that the MacBook doesn't produce enough power to run it? I have some serious projects to do and would be grateful for help. Maybe I need a newer keyboard? Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. Turned out I needed new drivers.

Which midi keyboards can I use with my iPad?

Which midi keyboards work with the iPad when used with camera adapter? Which keyboards do you recommend? Thanks.

Jude.Tristessa-
As a starting point, try doing a web search for iPad midi. You will get a better idea what is available, and can then ask more specific questions here.
I do not know if any can use the Camera Connection Kit, but there may be some that connect via Bluetooth.

I just opened my new Mac Pro and I have a USB keyboard, not a bluetooth -- it doesn't recognize the USB keyboard and I can't get past the "bluetooth keyboard pairing" screen.

What specific KB?
Do you know it works?
I set my 2103 nMP with an older (black) Apple USB KB and it worked fine

Can midi keyboard sustain pedal control guitar stomp box wah pedal

Does anyone know if a midi keyboard sustain pedal can be used to control a guitar stomp box variable. Specifically the controller pedal for the "wah" pedals. Many thanks!

Sustain cannot control Wah, because a sustain pedal only sends out value 0 (up/off) or value 127 (down/on). You need an expression/volume pedal, that sends out continuous messages from 1 to 127, which is what you'ld need for operating Wah.
