Electronic Drumset MIDI Garageband standard drumkits problems

Hi,
I have a Yamaha DTXPLORER drumset:
http://www.yamaha-europe.com/yamahaeurope/uk/10_musical_instruments/40_drums/40_electronic_drums/08_dtxplorer/10_no _series/10dtxplorer/index.html
I have a simple MIDI interface connected between my Mac and the drumset.
Everything is communicating between Garageband and the drumset BUT the setup is not right when I try to play something. Some of the drums sounds like it should but when I hit the snare drum it sounds like a hi-hat. And when I change to another Garageband drum kit it can change to so something else.
How can I change the MIDI-setup so everything sounds like it should?
It has to be in Garageband as the different drumkits have different basic setups so the problem moves around when I switch.
And I want to hear what I am playing and not edit it afterwards...

In GB you dont have a "Learn" function, that I was hoping for. I have seen different drum plugins having that. That costs extra... But I really want to use the ones that comes with GB and this feature should be there. So if you had this Learn-function you could customize the different drums "position" so it fit the drumset you have. The electronic drumsets in cheaper today so actually a non-pro can actually afford it and but then as a user of GB will bump in to problems.
I have some tip to use Midipipe that hijack the MIDI-in and that you can change the map but I don't know how to do it in detail. And I want to do it in GB where you have different drum maps as you say and the save them to fit my drumset for the future...

Connect Electronic Drumset to Garageband?

Is there any way I can connect my Yamaha DTXpress III Electronic Drumset to my IMac for use with Garageband? The "brain" for the drums has a MIDI port...NO USB port...but does have 1/4" out phono plugs....

the drums has a MIDI port.
if you want to record MIDI, you'll need a MIDI interface:
(click "MIDI" in the right hand sidebar)

How do I properly map my electronic drums to GarageBand?

Hello,
I have a set of Yamaha DTXplorer (DTXPL) midi drums, and have a problem using them with the majority of samples for GarageBand.
The biggest issue is that the Snare Drum doesn't seem to be mapped from the drum set to the software instruments. (Hitting the snare doesn't produce any sound). The other drum parts seem to work fine, just not the Snare Drum.
Is there any information on how to map my drum set to be completely in synch with GarageBand standards?

Mapping DTXPLORER MIDI using GarageBand
Here is the (hopefully) definitive guide for getting a Yamaha DTXPLORER (a.k.a. DT-Explorer, DTXPL) electronic drum set to connect to Apple's GarageBand via MIDI.
SYMPTOM: When connecting DTXPLORER to GarageBand using MIDI, the snare drum is silent and the bass drum triggers a sort of snare roll instead of a bass hit.
PROBLEM: The DTXPLORER (for whatever reason) sends out the snare note on G2 (key 31) and the kick note on A2 (key 33). This is a non-standard MIDI key mapping for these instruments.
SOLUTION: Remap the snare and kick MIDI notes using the freeware app MidiPipe from SubtleSoft (http://homepage.mac.com/nicowald/SubtleSoft/) to the standard GarageBand MIDI keys using the following steps:
(Note: These settings were tested using GarageBand 3.0.2 and MidiPipe 1.4.1.)
1. Connect your DTXPLORER via MIDI to GarageBand and verify that GarageBand can record the drum sounds.
2. Close GarageBand.
3. Launch MidiPipe. You will create a Pipe that looks like this:
Midi In
Key Mapper
Key Mapper
Midi Out
Do so by dragging the appropriate components from the Tools column to the Pipes column in the appropriate order.
4. Once you've assembled the pipe (with the components in the correct order listed above), configure the settings as follows:
Midi In:
- Midi Input: (Your USB or FireWire MIDI device)
- Options: check "hijack"
Key Mapper (kick drum):
- Key In: A2 (33)
- Key Out: C3 (36)
- Options: UNcheck "Solo selected "Key In""
Key Mapper (snare drum):
- Key In: G2 (31)
- Key Out: D3 (38)
- Options: UNcheck "Solo selected "Key In""
Midi Out:
- MIDI Output: MidiPipe Output 1
- Options: UNcheck "Pass Through" and UNcheck "Use Note Off Velocity"
5. Choose File: Save As and save your pipe to a memorable location. You will need to retrieve this file every time you wish to record your drum set using GarageBand.
6. Relaunch GarageBand and attempt to record your drum set. The snare and the bass drum should now be mapped correctly!
Note: If you have having difficulties with the pipe and would like to verify that the key mapping is taking effect, add a "Keyboard" component to the pipe after the "Key Mapper"s. That will give you a visual representation of which key is being triggered for each drum pad.

ELECTRONIC DRUM MIDI PROBLEM!

we really want the drummer to be able to control his sound via his interface, which is part of the elec set. right now, only i control the sounds via garageband. how can i override this so that he can control the fx?
thanks!

If you are using the drum module's audio outs, he should have control over all his module's parameters.
GB's parameters aren't transferable. The best I can offer is one of MyMac's earlier suggestions about trying an AU plug in called MidiO to send Midi data out to the drum machine.
I'm not familiar enough with Midi to help you set that up though...

Mid 2006 iMac Boot Problem (Since latest firmware update)

I have a Mid 2006 17" iMac. Ever since the latest firmware update in early December, about every other startup I've been having boot problems. After the white screen with the Apple Logo and the spinning wheel it goes to a blue screen like normal, but instead of the 'Loading Mac OS X' white window popping up it stays blue and the spinning loading wheel starts. I've left it loading for quite a while before and nothing changes. I have to do a force shut off by holding the power button. and then I start it up and it will boot normally.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Actually, I think it'san early 2006.

Macbook Pro (15" mid 2012) system freezing problems

I've had quite an ordeal with my Macbook Pro over the last few years, so this will be a lengthy question, sorry in advance. Let me get right to it.
Backstory:
I bought my MBP 15" new in summer of 2012. I installed 8GB ram that I had laying around. A week or so later I was playing a game (Borderlands) and my computer froze and I was forced to do a hard reset. From then on the computer started completely freezing more and more consistently, and not just with games, but while I was on the internet and in other programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Premiere. and I was forced to do hard restarts often.
I upgraded to Mountain Lion when it came out, and the problem persisted. The freezing got to the point where the screen would pixelate and get full of artifacts and blocks of glitchy colors while the sound started looping and popping until I did the hard restart. I took the computer into the apple store and they ran some tests and told me that the 8GB of ram I had put in was the wrong speed for my computer, but that as long as I changed it I shouldn't have any problems. I went home, changed my ram back to the original ram that came with my computer, and lo and behold, it got worse. it started to freeze on startup and I would have to try multiple times before it would start up, sometimes it would give me the three beeps, so I knew it was a memory problem. So I bought 16GB of the correct type of ram (1600mhz instead of the 1333mhz) and the problem seemed to stop for a few weeks. Then it started again, slow at first and then in waves where it would freeze multiple times in a row and then not at all for days or even weeks. So i took the ram out and cleaned it, thinking that it might be the ram slots acting up or a bad connection, that wasn't it. I took it back into the store to be tested, but they couldn't reproduce the freezing I had, which is just my luck..soon after that my warranty ran out, so I was on my own. I started to just deal with it because it started happening less often. Finally at the end of this summer I reinstalled OS X Mavericks because I read somewhere that someone was having a similar problem and that fixed it. I did a clean reinstall and it started running great. I started reinstalling the main programs I use (Adobe CS6, Steam, a few games, firefox, VLC, ZBrush) and it was still working fine. I played Borderlands 1 on it and it froze the entire computer soon after I started playing. I thought that might just be because that game is a port and I bought it through the Appstore. So I took it easy and the computer did well. Then I started playing Borderlands 2 (on the lowest settings to be safe) and the computer worked great, even though I played for 3 or 4 hours at a time. I thought all was well now. That was until I came back to school and then last night my computer started freezing again. It is not as bad as before, and I've only been able to reproduce it consistently while playing Borderlands 2, but it bothers me that my computer is not solid, even if it doesn't freeze doing most other things.
If I thought it would be fine if I stopped playing games on it, then I would stop and be fine with that, but I think the problem is bigger than that, and that is why I am asking for help.
What I've Tried So Far (in order, kind of):
1. Changed the ram to 8GB 1333mhz - computer started freezing after that
2. Took it to the Apple store to get it checked out - they told me it was the ram
3. I changed the ram back to 4GB 1600mhz - froze worse than before
4. Bought and put in 16GB 1600mhz - ran fine for a time, then started again
5. Took it back to the Apple store - Didn't reproduce the results
6. Uninstalled all games - didn't change anything
7. Reinstalled OS X Mavericks - Ran fine for a little while, now freezing during games again.
8. Ran Apple Hardware Test multiple times during all this, it would start and then freeze around 8 minutes in.
9. Booted in Internet Recovery mode - froze every time and gives me error code -3404D now, which I can't find any information about online.
10. Ran MemTest through Rember multiple times. Before reinstalling OS X it froze every time, now my ram passes every time.
11. Checked Activity Monitor, and ran EtreCheck - I'll post the results below, but everything seems normal to me.
12. Checked memory usage while playing Borderlands 2 (windowed, lowest settings still) the game was using about 1GB of ram, then my computer froze after playing for about 2 minutes.
13. Also I've taken my ram out and cleaned everything, including fans multiple times throughout this ordeal. My computer would get pretty hot at one point, and I thought it was overheating and maybe disconnecting some solder, so I used to turn it on its side and put a fan on it to cool it down and it would finally restart, but that was before reinstalling OS X and it hasn't been getting that hot recently.
EtreCheck Results as of right now:

Hi Fonden,
It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this issue. If the crashing or hanging persists, you may want to double-check the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article:

WORKED FOR ME : MacBook Pro mid 2010 black screen problem

Hello
Good news 'til now :
Like for some mid-2010 macbook pro owners, I started to have a recurrent (daily) problem : when I was using the trackpad to do something in Opera, Safari or QuickPick (Launchpad clone), I had very often seen suddenly my laptop seem to turn off but not really (the screen turned off, no key to bring it back, power button disabled, it was like sleep mode but without typical sleep mode light and with nothing to do to wake it up, even the caps lock key didn't worked anymore). Each time I was forced to turn off by maintaining the power button.
The problem could occur three times a day or more.
I'm on 10.6.8.
I installed the Video Update 1.0 for mid-2010 macbook pros you can find on the Apple site. It seemed to solve the issue for one day, maybe two but it used to reappear the same way as before. Repairing permissions with Disk Utility changed nothing to that. I disabled hardware acceleration in Opera Preferences, zoom feature in QuickPick, disabled graphics cards switch in OS X Power Saving Preferences. Useless.
Then I remembered I used a software when I encountered other problems with my 2006 macbook pro. It's called Kext Utility (very easy to find on the web). It specifically repairs the kernel files structure and updates the kernel files cache. The problem I describe is actually related to a kernel panic. So I re abled the graphics cards switch and by caution I overwrote the Video Update 1.0 by reinstalling it, the laptop rebooted to finish it, and right after that I launched Kext Utility (it takes about one minute to repair and update). Since that the problem totally disappeared. I don't risk to re abled either hardware acceleration in Opera or zoom feature in QuickPick but I probably will now I know how to get rid of this very inconvenient problem.
Hope it will work for you guys

For those who use QuickPick, I've just reenabled the zoom feature (Preferences > Show/Hide Option) and the problem is back very quickly. It's gone as I disable the zoom again. So I advise you to keep this option disabled if you've got the same problem as me.
I haven't reenabled hardware acceleration in Opera, no problem with Opera up to now.

Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2009: back light problem

Hey guys,
I was hoping you could offer me some advice.
My 13" Macbook Pro from mid 2009 has been having some backlight issues. Sometimes, after opening the screen, the backlight won't turn on. If I shine through the Apple logo on the back with a torch, you can see the log-in screen, so I'm pretty sure the problem lies with the back light.
I have tried ressetting the SMC and PRAM, yet that hasn't helped. The only way to get the backlight to turn back on is to remove the cover, unplug the battery, hold the power button for 5 seconds, plug back in the battery, put the cover back, and then turn it on.
So far I had to do this every 2 months or so, yet now the screen seems to die more and more often. As you can imagine, it's quite a pain having to go through this process over and over.
Again, any advice to fix this issue would be fantastic.
Thanks!

I appreciate the response, but my issue does not appear in the linked article as a reason to reset the SMC. Resetting the SMC seems like something too radical to fix something that should "just work". My MBP generally takes too long to wake up or doesn't wake up at all. If it doesn't wake up, I hold the power button and restart. Very annoying, since my wife can resume work on her PC faster coming out of Windows 7 hibernation mode.
Thanks, Apple!

I have uninstalled Garageband due to problems. Now it seems I have to pay for it.

I've had some problems with Garageband when I tried to download extra content. I called Apple Support about a week ago and he said that one solution might be to uninstall Garageband and then reinstall in from Mac App Store.
I've now unnstalled Garageband. To download and install it again it seems I now have to pay for it. I've had my iMac since the end of December last year and it came preinstalled with Garageband. Apple Support is closed today because it's Sunday.
It's not a huge amount but I wonder if this is right?

Done this? Alerts may occur when accepting bundled applications from the Mac App Store - Apple Support (Steps 1 - 4 in particular.)

Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard setup problem

I am not sure this is the right forum for my problem: if it isn't, can anybody please point me to the right forum (or channel) to troubleshoot and solve my problem?
I attempted to install Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard (Italian) on several Windows XP clients, but I get a message saying "Impossibile accedere al percorso di rete \Startup" that sounds like "Impossible to access the network path \Startup".
I made several tests and I can confirm that:
- The Office installation path exists in the registry and is correct
- The user attempting to install have administrator rights
- The folder \Startup exists inside the Office installation path and the user can access it
- No roaming profiles are implemented
How can I troubleshoot and solve this issue?
Regards

This is an error produced by Distiller in the creation process. You have a problem with the color profile in your job settings apparently - I can't really say much more on why this happened if you have not made changes. It is possible that the Reader installation caused a problem, but I would be surprised since Reader has nothing to do with PDF creation (however, it is not recommended to install both Reader and Acrobat due to various interactions). At this point, all I can recommend is to do a repair to Acrobat. You should be able to do this from the control panel>program and features (VISTA) or add/remove programs (XP).

Non-standard install problem

I'm trying to upgrade to the newest Flash player for Opera on Windows XP but I can't get it to install properly. I think the problem is that Opera (9.4) is installed to a non-standard folder on my machine (.../Opera7) rather than the usual .../Opera folder and I'd rather not have to change it. Any ideas on how I can install to the correct location? Any help would be appreciated.

If that didnt work try this below:
1) Open up the Command Prompt as an Administrator (Go to All Programs > Accessories and Right Click on Command Prompt and then choose Run as administrator)
2) Type cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64
3) Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll (This registers VB Script with your computer.)
4) Now install iTunes as you normally would by double clicking on the install program and wait for iTunes to finish installing.
5) Type regsvr32 \u vbscript.dll (This unregisters VB Script with your computer.)
THIS ONE COMES WITH A WARNING
TRY BOTH OF THESE AT YOUR OWN RISK
AND some thing below to consider about this second step, not the first post
To enabled, VB Script a scripting language that has been responsible for more trojan and worms floating around the internet than any other on the face of this earth. All in order to install one of the earths most popular programs to get our daily audio fix. So we have to disable security measures built in to protect the operating system from malicious code and leave our selves wide open.This would be the equivalent to Microsoft telling Mac People to disable buffer overflow protection in order to install Microsoft Office for the Mac.

Standard Library Problem

I am experiencing a sporadic InDesign CS3 problem using the Mac debug version and the PC release version. InDesign is crashing while trying to free up memory inside the C++ standard template library. Typically the flow of control is in ~set() or ~basic_string().
Has anyone else ever experienced any problems or incompatibilities between InDesign and the C++ standard library? I've looked over the code thoroughly and I'm reasonably sure I'm using the STL correctly. Also, the code runs fine in the Mac release version and the PC debug version.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, Eugenio
I am pretty sure I am not double deleting. Overwriting memory somewhere is possible, however the code works fine on PC debug.
The problem on the Mac would seem to have been caused by the FORCE_INLINE commands in MemoryStatics.h In our debug version the delete commands were not being made inline, and leaking into the application. Our library allocated memory using the standard allocator, which was then deleted by the K2Memory memory manager. Instantiating a standard template library object similar to the ones used in our library somehow magically makes things work.
On the PC release version we have got the program to get further by removing all the compiler optimisations, however it is currently crashing when clearing an empty vector.

Weird Standard Preview Problem

I had posted elsewhere about a problem with the "standard previews". Basically they can be there at one point and "POOF" they are gone the next time I open a particular folder. (My settings were 1440 and Medium.) Even within a folder there can be some that show the preview fine and some show previews that look like a very small JPEG file (and badly compressed to boot).
It was suggested that generally closing LR and restarting it generally solves this problem - nope did not help.
Any suggestions - aside from deleting the files and importing them all over again?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Hal,
Yes, I have tried Library//Render Standard Previews. It occassionally seems to be doing something. Even tried putting the particular DVD back in the drive, selected all the photos in that particular directory and then selected "render standard previews". Nada - nothing changed.
Even tried changing my preview settings (from 1440/Medium to 1600/High) and no difference.
Thanks
Steve
BTW - If there is some "rendering going on in the background", then Adobe should have explained that we need to leave the DVD/CDR/Source Disk in longer after the program indicated (by the progress bars at the top) that the importing/rendering is completed.
