Difficult to explain: Midi keyboard doesn't correspond correctly.

I have an M-Audio Key Studio 25, which suddenly does not correspond correctly to the piano roll in Logic.
Specifically, when I hit C# on the keyboard, corresponds to C in Logic's software instruments, and other plugins. So, with Ultrabeat, for example, if i want to hit the kick drum which is the C note on the keyboard, i must now hit C# for that kick drum.
Any ideas? It's driving me nuts.

..or, you accidentally set a transpose value of +1 semitone in the inspector.

My midi keyboard doesn't appear on my mac

My Midi Keyboard turns on when i connect it to my Macbook but my Macbook doesn't detect the keyboard when am on Garageband, What am i suppose to do?

GarageBand only see a MIDI Device when you OSX system recognizes it.
Open the Audio MIDI Setup utility (found in the /Application/Utilities/ folder). Open the MIDI Window (in the View Menu). If you don't see your MIDI Keyboard there, then you might need to install a proper Driver. Check with the manufacturer of your MIDI keyboard.
I assume that you plugin your Keyboard to the USB port of your MacBook. That's where it gets its power, but that still doesn't mean that it can communicate via MIDI.
I explain all those setup steps and the necessary information to understand all that in my manual "GarageBand X - How it Works"
Hope that helps

Midi keyboard doesn't show up

I have a Midiplus 49 Origin Midi keyboard. When I plug it into my 2006 MacBook Pro with GarageBand 3.0.5 it works just great, plug and play with no drivers needed.
But when I plug it into my late 2009 iMac i7 with GarageBand 5.1 it just doesn't show up.
I have checked the Midi settings software on the iMac and it doesn't show any new device, but my MacBook does. The display lights up when connected to my iMac, so it's indeed connected.
I have tried to google for answers and drivers but without any luck.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

A couple of Google searches later I found out that there were other people that had similar problems but with other devices. It turns out that the USB ports on the iMac do differ a bit. Apparently the USB port closest to the Display Port sends out a bit more power than the other ones. So I simply hooked my MIDI keyboard to that port and it started working. I hope this is helpful to someone else having the same problem!

Yamaha KX61 USb MIDI keyboard doesn't work in Garage Band

I have installed latest Yamaha USB-MIDI driver V1.2.0 for Yamaha KX61.
I have connected USB cable to Mac Mini and turned the keyboard on.
In Other section of System Preferences I can see an icon for Yamaha USB-MIDI. In there I can see Device Name: Yamaha KX.
Yamaha KX61 is visible in Audio MIDI Setup utility under Midi Devices tab with Port 1, 2 and 3.
In GarageBand application Audio/MIDI preferences it shows "3 MIDI inputs detected" but Audio Input gives 2 choices only: System Setting and Built-In Input.
When I turn Keyboard off, Garage Band responds with message "The number of MIDI inputs has changed. Now no input is available." And then it shows MIDI status: 0 MIDI Input(s) detected.
When I turn Keyboard on, Garage Band responds with message "The number of MIDI inputs has changed. Now 3 inputs are available." And then it shows MIDI status: 3 MIDI Input(s) detected.
I don't understand how to get the keyboard play with Garage Band when adding new software instrument tack.
If anybody able to use KX61 in Garage Band, please share your experience.

Hope its ok to answer you own question.
Just buy the Apple "Lightning to usb camera adapter". Plug it into the ipad 4 and plug your usb male A cable from the midi keyboard into it and fire up the apps. Works fine--I just tested it. You must have a keyboard or other usb device that requires very little or no power from the usb port in order to work. Also, it must not require a usb driver. See iosmidi.com/devices for a list of devices that should work.
A lot of investigation (not on any apple site) allowed me to glean out this information.

One button of the keyboard doesn't work correctly

Hi there,
I have a problem with my keyboard:
One button of the keyboard doesn??t work correctly: I want to write down a vowel with an accent (like in French and Spanish?), but if I press the button ´ and then the vowel, TWO dashes (´´) and the vowel appear: ´´i. Normally, there would automatically be an accent on top of the i.
I have already tried a different keyboard, but it??s the same problem when I connect it to my notebook. I have also tried to choose a different language like French and Spanish, where they have those accents, but it still doesn??t work.
It would be great if somebody could help me.
Thanks a lot,
Hanna

Hi Hannah,
You do not say which options you have changed to try using a different language, but there are several options which do slightly different things.
If you go into Control Panel and select "Regional and Language Options", a new window opens with 3 tabs across the top. Choose "Languages" (the middle one), then press the "Details" button. This opens another window which allows you to view and change settings including the current input language and keyboard settings.
Changing some of these settings will not make any difference until you reboot your machine.
I hope this helps, let us know how you get on!

Kurzweil PC88 midi keyboard doesn't work!

I have the latest version of Logic 9.1.1
I bought a 1x1midi tab one end usb directly plugged into computer to midi end plugged into my Kurzweil keyboard. I am getting no midi.
Can anyone give me advice as to what is going wrong?
Thanks!

Hi marykeys,
I bought a brand new Kurzweil PC88 12 years ago and still working incredible! As far as being recognized by Logic (Express, Pro, Studio, etc), I have never had any problems, except for one situation with an M-Audio Midisport 2x2. What I currently use is the M-Audio UNO USB MIDI interface and works perfect! Really simple and friendly device and have never heard any bad review from it.
Still try to look for setup issues in your computer, before even thinking about reseting your PC88.
- Go to "Audio MIDI Setup" / "MIDI Devices tab and run the "Rescan MIDI" (Make sure the keyboard is on and properly connected through your MIDI interface -also ON and connected). If not the keyboard, the Interface should show up.
- If nothing happened, click on "Add Device" and then double click on the new device appearing as "new external device". Fill the information of Device Name/Manufacturer/Model (this is just to make things more organized) and then click on "Port". Press YES to the question that might ask you and then see if in the "Ports" area is available the Port 1. Usually the MIDI interfaces gets the Port 1 by default. If not, then something could be happening with your interface. Having created the new device, run the scan again. If you see the MIDI interface that's perfect and the following step is to connect the Interface with the new device by dragging the mouse from one device to another (the small triangles) and so they should end up being connected with two "wires". Then you can run the test and click on the new device. While having the click pressed, press some keys on your PC88 and you should get several bips, as much as keys you play. Try also to see if E-MU have any software update for your Operating System (remember that most drivers has been updated and transformed since the Intel era on Mac).
- If this works, then make sure to double check Logic preferences. Go to "MIDI" and in the General Tab of MIDI, press "Reset All MIDI Drivers". This will help to renew Logic's information about new changes on the MIDI Setup of your computer.
- If this doesn't work, you should consider a different MIDI interface and also contacting Kurzweil (YoungChang) for further information, not to have your PC88 reseted, unless you have nothing to lose.
Good Luck!

Help with MIDI Keyboard-Doesn't play a certain note

I use Logic pro with a Korg Kontrol49 keyboard. My interface is a Digidesign 003. My problem is that the E3 key does not work anywhere on the keyboard even when I switch octaves. In the transport bar when I play the note it say no in. The 3 settings on the back of the keyboard are USB, Standby, and DC. The note does work when I switch it to DC, but then I get this message and the note works. As soon I clear the message the note stops working. #1 Device Kontrol49 assigned to MIDI Port "CTRL" which is not present. #2 Device Kontrol49 is assigned to MIDI Port A which is not present. I reset MIDI settings but to no avail. Please help. I'm going out of my mind

Look in your *Controller Assignments* window (cmd-K) if E3 is used for a controller message. If so, select the message and delete it, that should do it.
The 3 settings on the back of the keyboard are USB, Standby, and DC. The note does work when I switch it to DC, but then I get this message and the note works.
What message?

What message? This?
#1 Device Kontrol49 assigned to MIDI Port "CTRL" which is not present. #2 Device Kontrol49 is assigned to MIDI Port A which is not present. I reset MIDI settings but to no avail.
Well, why don't you check the Korgs' manual and find out what this DC setting actually does , before haphazardly flicking it?
You switching it probably makes it loose USB connection. That is the message. I have no idea what the DC setting does, but that message means you have "unplugged" it, or powered it down, or otherwise disconnected it.
Please help. I'm going out of my mind
That's good. Staying inside the mind too much is not healthy...

Oem explain plan produced doesn't correspond to explain plan with tkprof

Hello all,
I am running OEM on a 10.2.0.3 database and I have a very slow query with cognos 8 BI on my data warehouse.
I went to the dbconsole through OEM and connected to target database I went to look at the query execution and then got an explain plan.
Then I did a trace file and ran it throught tkprof.
When I look at both produced explain plan, I can see the tree looks the same exept the corresponding values. In OEM, it says I am going throug 18000 rows and in the tkprof result it says more like millions of records.
As anybody had these kind of results?
Shall I have more confidence in TKprof then OEM?
It is very important to me since I am being chalanged by an external DBA.

I would recommend you to get Christian Antogini´s book "Troublshooting Oracle Performance", (http://www.antognini.ch/top/) which explains everything you need to know when analyzing Oracle SQL Performance and Explain Plans.
If you properly trace your SQL Statement, you will get "STAT" lines in the trace file. These stat lines show you the actual number of rows processed per row source operation. Explain plan per default does only show you the "estimated" row counts for the row source operations no matter whether you use "explain=" in the tkprof call or OEM to get the explain plan. Tkprof reads the STAT lines from the trace and outputs a section which is similar to an execution plan but contains the "real" number of rows.
However, if you want to troubleshoot Oracle Performance, I would recommend you to run the statement with the hint /*+ GATHER_PLAN_STATISTICS */ or set statistics_level=ALL in your session (not database-wide!).
If you do, you can get an excellent execution plan with DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR containing both estimated rows as well as actual rows combined with the "number of starts" for e.g. nested loop joins.
Get the book, read it, and you will be able to discuss this issue with your external dba in a professional way. ;-)

Martin

Midi keyboard doesn't work every once in a while

This is the most strangest thing I have encountered so far. Everything is working, putting notes into Logic via my midi controller. All of a sudden, it stops working. I try to play notes on the keyboard but nothing, no response. I can play them fine with the mouse on the virtual keyboard (on one of the instances - Kontakt 3), but not via my controller. I don't push any buttons by accident either for it to stop working.
I close the project, reopen it, but nothing. I restart the computer but nothing. If I open a new project THEN it works. I have it set on midi channel 1. Sometimes I switch it to omni and it starts working. But not lately.
What is the problem here?
Thanks.

What make and type is it?

MIDI keyboard doesn't appear as input option

I'm a complete newbie with GB and MIDI, so apologies if this is an obvious one...
I have a Panasonic Technics SX-PX552 digital keyboard which I am connecting to my MacBook Pro using Soundtech's Lightsnake MIDI-USB cable (STUSBMIDI10). When connected, GB's preferences will display "1 MIDI input(s) detected". But, when I try to add a new Real Instrument Track, the only option that shows up for input source is the built-in microphone.
Am I missing something obvious? I've searched online for hours and everything I've found indicates I don't need to install any special drivers or anything... Help?

you're not recording a "real" instrument:

Help: BB keyboard doesn't work correctly

Hi all,
I have a problem with my BB curve 8520. Yesterday the keyboard started to do strange things:
when I'm writing text messages it skips some letters
it starts automatically to cancel all I have wrote without I have pushed "del"
sometimes it automatically locks and no one key can remove the lock
I already tried to remove and replace the battery but the problem still remain.
Please tell me if there's a solution.

Sometimes, the OS just get's corrupted...and reloading it clean is then the next step to try...
At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
You may also want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

Apple keyboard doesn't give correct symbols with iPad2

My apple keyboard works perfectly with my iPhone5, (WiFi, but NOT 3G) but when I use it with my iPad2 most of the keys give a different symbol that what's written on the keyboard. How can I set it so it works correctly as with the iphone5?
thanks for any help.
Will any answer be sent to me automatically to my email address, or must I go to community daily to look for replies?
Thanks

Satellite L10 - keyboard doesn't work correctly

Hello
I have problem with my keyboard. I install Windows XP from recovery CD and make updates form Windows Update. Sometimes when I write something ex 1234567890, I see on the screen 123567890 or 123456790.
I took the laptop to the service and they said everything is OK, but for me it`s not!!
What is wrong with it, can someone tell me ??
Thanks

Just small update: I have also heard when MSN search bar is installed the CPU activity goes permanently up and down between 2 and 20 % and if you pres the keyboard key in this moment when the CPU activity goes to higher percent it can happen that the key will not be displayed.
As I said it should be fixed with new BIOS.
Bye and good luck!

How to access audio instruments as midi channels from midi keyboard?

Hi!
This is my first post here.
I use mostly Logic Pro 7 as a sound module with my keyboard. I have a song file in Logic that I made some time ago, where I've linked every audio instrument to a corresponding audio channel (same midi channel). All channels are in record mode, and thus every audio instrument is assigned a midi channel - and I can play different audio instruments by changing the midi channel on my midi keyboard.
Now, I want to create more tracks, so I can have more instruments to choose between. That doesn't work.. I try to make a new logic file and do the same thing with more channels, but I can't remeber how I made this work in the first place. I've been trying for hours and hours, and I'm going nuts here.
I would extremely grateful if anyone could tell me how this is done.
(No rewire/extra software is necessary.)
Thanks for reading.

Welcome!
It's fairly straightforward. On each audio instrument, assign a MIDI channel in the parameter box - so eg Audio Instrument 1 is set to MIDI channel 1, Audio Instrument 2 is set to channel 2 etc.
The key part is in your song settings "File -> Song Settings -> Recording" to make sure "Auto demix by even channel" is ticked.
Now, shift-click on the record buttons for all your audio instruments, and when you send on MIDI channel 1, you'll play the first one, switching to channel 2 you'll play the second one, and so on.
The max you can do is 16 channels at once, afaik, as the sequencer input doesn't retain port info (which is a bit of a shortcoming in my book, but there you go...)

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?
-Evan

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