Can't connect MIDI devices in Audio Midi Setup

In the help for Audio Midi Setup, step 7 says you can connect devices as follows:
"7. To specify the connection between MIDI devices, drag the output or input connectors above the device icon to the corresponding connector on the other device icon."
I can drag out a line from the device ports ("connectors"), but cannot find a way to make those lines "stick" to a second MIDI device or its ports -- i.e., I cannot connect devices like this at all.
Is this just me? Is this feature not yet implemented perhaps?
Thanks!

Ok, I finally solved this. For whatever reason, I could not set up connections between my auto-detected USB MIDI devices in Audio MIDI Setup -- maybe it is just not designed for this, or maybe I'm still not understanding what to do. i.e., I could not connect my E-MU 0404/USB to any port on my MOTU MIDI Express 128.
However, I was able to configure the individual MIDI interfaces (i.e. the E-MU or the MOTU, separately), using "Add Device" and then connecting between those interface devices and the newly added devices. This was the first time I had seen the "connectors" actually "take" and connect between entities within the Audio MIDI Setup utility, so that was a relief. Presumably doing this informs applications on the Mac how the MIDI system is set up -- I just thought it did more than that, i.e. allow direct routing between MIDI devices using just the utility itself.
I still don't know if I am meant to be able to connect a keyboard to a synth using just Audio MIDI Setup alone (what I had hoped), but I certainly can't seem to get that simple config to work and will have to resort to using some additional software like a sequencer. Not my preference, but c'est la vie.
Thanks for all the suggestions,
Stewart.

  • I have three Blue Yeti USB Microphones, and when I try to create an aggregate device in Audio MIDI on my MBP it lets me select two microphones but not the third. I need all three for a podcast, any solutions?

    I have three Blue Yeti USB Microphones, and when I try to create an aggregate device in Audio MIDI on my MBP it lets me select two microphones but not the third. At first I thought maybe the third microphone was just defected or something but I tested the mic individually and it works fine. It'll let me use two Blue Yeti's and another microphone but not three Yeti's at once.

    The "Yeti" mics, are, lets say undesirable, and low to mid computer consumer mics.

  • Can I connect window device like modem, mobile in oracle forms,if possible then how?

    Can I connect window device like modem, mobile in oracle forms,if possible then how?

    Hi Tony,
    So explain where you would see your notification?I just mention, Leave module, there are many other module. For example In Purchase Purchase Requigition , Production Module Production Complite , Delivery Module Delivery Ready.
    For this it will better to show at respective Menu.
    In the Window title?Another good Idea !
    You could have a timer trigger that runs every 5 minutes and checks a notification table, if there is an unacknowledged notifcation, then you could change the Window title of the formas app to show a (1) at then end of it.Timer has a bad this.. For example, if i make a timer and run every 5 min. then if user works on a form, timer will hide the form and show the timer window.
    Isn't it ?
    Would that do, or do you need more?Yea.. More..It will be like facebook. If any notified work is done by any person, light will go off.
    Thanks for your interest and suggestion...

  • Can I connect the optical digital audio cable to my tuner in order to use my stereo speakers?

    can I connect the optical digital audio cable to my tuner in order to use my stereo speakers for apple tv sound?

    thats why I do and mute the tv so there is only 1 audio source as they are never 100% in sync when you use both optical and hdmi

  • How can I get my audio input and output devices back? I have no sound and cannot see any of the devices in Audio MIDI Setup..??

    Hi, I tried to set up a new output audio device on my mac that would have multiple outputs (iBox Twist speaker and my internal speaker) but when I went to click onto one of the iBox Twist (there were 2 options available: iBox Twist and iBox Twist Stereo), Audio MIDI Setup crashed and when I finally got that back open, I found that there were no audio input or output devices to be found. My sound is working, as when I turn on my iMac, the starting sound still plays, however the volume control in the menu bar is no longer a black colour, but grey and when I try to change the sound on my keyboard it does not change. This already happened to me once, and after 3 hours I managed to fix it very simply (switching off Mac, unplugging power cord, leaving for 15 seconds, plug power cord back in and switch Mac back on, holding Alt, Cmd, P and R keys until you hear the Starting Up sound twice) however this same technique that fixed it once before is not working this time and I am still stuck without sound. I have tried Repair Permissions, rebooting in Safe Mode, Hardware Test and checking for Software Updates. Has anyone else had this problem and managed to fix it?
    Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me!

    In case anyone has had the same problem as me, I have just managed to fix this by doing the following:
    Switch off Mac
    Switch back on in Safe Mode (Hit power button, then hold Shift key until a loading bar appears at the bottom of the screen).
    Switch off Mac again
    Remove power cord and wait 15 seconds
    Plug power cord back in and hold down the keys alt, cmd, p, r all at the same time until you hear Starting chime for a second time and hopefully your audio will back.

  • How can i connect the Faulhaber Motor to MID-7654?

    How can i connect the Faulhaber Motor (3564 024BC, with Encoder HEDM 5500 B12) to MID-7654?
    The Motor has following wires:
    A: Hall sensor green; A: Phase brown; B: Hall sensor blue; B: Phase orange; C:  Hall sensor gray;
    C: Phase yellow; +5V: Voltage red; GND: Ground black
    The Encoder has:
    5: Channel B; 4: Vcc; 3:            Channel A; 2: Channel I (Zero impulse); 1: GND
    I don't know how I can connect the encoder to MID-7654 using these wires (what is Encoder Index? Instead of this i only have Channel I !) 
    Thanks!
    WLAN

    Unfortunately there are different designators for the encoder signal which NI refers to as encoder index. In your case I am pretty sure that the I channel is identical to encoder index.
    Other designators I have found are Z (z-ero signal) and R (r-eference signal) for the index signal.
    Make sure that the index signal is at the correct level. For most applications it should be active low (i.e. it should be at high level during most of a turn and go low when the index mark passes the opto switch, I think it should be like this on most if not all Agilent optical encoders as you have it on your motor. This happens for a very small turning angle only and is hard to detect when turning an encoder/motor manually, so if you try to find the index signal turn the motor/encoder veeery slowly.

  • How connect to device that sends Midi-Signals via USB?

    Hello,
    does anybody know how to communicate with a device that sends Midi-Signals via USB? I am working with Windows XP. I would appreciate any kind of hint.

  • IMac won't recognise USB MIDI keyboard in Audio MIDI Setup

    I upgraded earlier in the week from a G4 eMac to a new Intel iMac. All appeared well until I tried to use my Evolution MK-361 USB midi keyboard from inside Logic. No midi events were coming through the system.
    After some fiddling around I found the Audio MIDI Setup utility and the keyboard is not listed as a device in there. However, if I open System Profiler and select the USB information I can see that the keyboard is connected. According to the E-Magic web site this model of keyboard is class compliant and so shouldn't need a driver installed.
    Originally I had the keyboard plugged into a USB hub. I've tried restarting the machine, restarting the machine with the cable plugged into different USB ports and different USB cables plugged into different USB ports. I've also downloaded all the latest OS / firmware / application updates and installed them.
    I reconnected the keyboard to my old eMac and it shows up on there so I know it's not a fault in the keyboard itself.
    The only other bits of gear connected to the machine are a Lacie external hard drive and my Saffire but these are firewire device so I wouldn't expect them to cause a problem (they certainly didn't on the eMac).
    If anyone has any ideas I would seriously appreciate the help. As you can imagine I'm pretty gutted having forked out a grand for the machine.
    Cheers

    iMac (Intel)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi Jon
    So much for plug and play
    Yeah, it's great isn't it?
    I emailed M-Audio tech support about it and apparently it's a known problem in 10.4.8 and they're waiting for a fix from Apple. I guess I'll just have to keep my eyes peeled for OS updates and go rummaging under the stairs for a midi cable instead.
    Ho hum.

  • Can't connect wireless device to airport extreme

    I bought airport extreme router second hand and am connecting it to HP desktop windows 8.  All software is installed properly and router is connected.  I have a solid green light, and internet access on desktop, but cannot connect wireless devices to network (kindle, cell phone, etc.)  All wireless devices show excellent network signal strength, allow me to put the password in, but all show connected and have not internet access.

    This appears to be a simple modem, so assuming that you reset the modem completely before you connected it to the AirPort Extreme, the next step would be to check to insure that the AirPort is in router mode and not bridge mode.
    Open up AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Extreme, and then click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon at the top of the window
    Click the Internet Connection tab just below that
    Make sure that the setting for Connection Sharing is set to Share a public IP address
    Click Update to save any changes, and give the AirPort a full minute to restart
    Check the network again to see if devices can connect now.

  • Tried to update device software, now can't connect to device via USB

    I tried to update my 8100 to the 4.5 software.  I first updated the desktop software to 4.7, then tried to update the device, but the process failed.
    Now, when I open desktop manager it shows as not connected to the device.  I can go into the device mamager properties and select the balckberry, but when I return to the destop amanger it says no device.
    It appears that whatever I do it does not recognise the usb device.
    The display on the 8100 is only text, no graphics or phone company info, and it is basically inoperable.
    There are options on the display for some applications, but if I choose them, it says app not found.
    Is there a way to force an update to it?  Or have I poohed this phone?
    Thanks in advance
    edit:
    I have pulled the battery on the unit to reboot it, and have tried going back to an older revision of desktop manager

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1. Unplug the BB from the USB and PC. Reboot the PC completely from off.
    2. For the BB, you might not have loaded back the Theme that was in use on the device when you upgraded, which will normally give you a black/white screen. You need to follow the instructions below.
    You will need to use JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_wipe_the_BlackBerry_using_Jl_Cmder%3F
    If JL_Cmder does not work, follow this instructional:

  • Guestnetwork is visible but I can not connect any device

    Hi there,
    I us an Airport Time Capsuale, Version 7.7.1.
    I created a Guestnet, all fine so far.
    Now I try to connect with my Iphone or Ipad to test it and I can not connect.
    I can see the Guestnet, I type in the password and the device is trying to connect. trying trying trying but not connecting.
    Going back to my private Network, all fine, direct connection.
    Any idea what is missing or happening to work proper?
    Thanks and best regards,
    Michael

    The first thing to check is the setting for Router Mode on the Time Capsule.
    Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule, click Edit, and click the Network tab at the top of the window.
    Check the setting for Router Mode.  If it is now set to "Off (Bridge Mode)" the Guest Network feature will not operate correctly in that setting.....unless....you have another Apple router on the network that is acting as the "main" router for the network.
    Can you provide the make and model number of your "modem"?
    It is possible that the Time Capsule needs to be in Bridge Mode to work correctly with your "modem".
    If this is the case, then unfortunately it will not be possible to enable the Guest Network feature using the modem that you have.

  • Can I connect a device to get added LAN ports for my Airport Extreme?

    Can I connect an added device to my styetem to get added LAN ports for my Airport Extreme Router system?
    Mark Edwards

    Connect a Gigabit Ethernet switch to any of the 3 Ethenret ports on the AirPort Extreme to add as many ports as you need.
    Switches come in 5-port, 8-port, 16-port, etc versions.
    Your local computer/electronics superstore will have what you need.

  • After upgrading Flame device to 2.0 production, can't connect to device via USB. Is there any hidden step I missed?

    Hi guys, I upgraded mi Flame to FirefoxOS 2.0 following the guideslines on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/Flame.
    I updated to 'latest v2.0' of production builds. It rebooted normally and I checked out version improvements, but I now I can't access the device via adb or fastboot or throught Web IDE.
    I selected ADB and developer tool for USB debugging and nothing. Only ADB and nothing.
    I even tried factory reset but It kept v2.0 and no adb connection :(
    Any suggestion?
    Thank in advance

    I encountered the same issue today when attempting to file and log some bugs for Firefox OS. I asked on the IRC channel #b2g and got the following response from Fabrice:
    "''known bug, should be fixed in tomorrow's update.''"
    I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
