How control tempo fader with midi keyboard

hi,
i added a tempo fader in the environment window. what are the steps to control it with a nob on my midi controller?
thanks,
dave

Hi
There are several steps in this process:
1) Since you want to control the Tempo Fader with in-coming MIDI messages, you need to connect the fader somewhere between the Physical Input and Sequencer Input objects in the Clicks and Ports layer.
2) By default, this fader is set to respond to incoming PitchBend messages (see above), so it should work straight away. If you wish to control this fader with some other MIDI message, you need to determine the exact message (MIDI CC usually) transmitted by your controller. The "Input View" object (or the main Transport should help here.
3) Then you need to assign these values in the object inspector 'Input settings"
Most of this is described in the manual p1040 under "Using the Tempo Fader".

HT4106 How do I use a midi keyboard on GarageBand with my iPad? When I try it says the device cannot be used as it requires too much power. However, I have given the midi it's own power source.

How do I use a midi keyboard as an input device on garageband? Its an oxygen 61 board. I'm using an iPad camera connection kit and a separate power source for the midi but each time it says it cannot use the midi as it requires too much power.

I have the same problem with my iPad and 61. Sometimes it says device not supported and sometimes it rants about power - any solutions anyone ?

Control 2 macs with 1 keyboard and mouse

I have two iMacs, 27 inch 10.7 and 24 inch with 10.6. Side by side. The two communicate wirelessly using Apple Wi fi.
I want to use one keyboard and mouse for both.
I have downloaded "synergy" on both computers, however, attempts to control both have failed.
I know that Apple screen sharing is an option, but I would prefer to use "synergy" or a similar program.
(I vaguely recall controlling both computers in the past, but cannot recall how I did it.)
Help? Control two Macs with one keyboard and mouse. That is my goal.
Thanks.

Try the software Teleport from Abyssoft. http://www.abyssoft.com/software/teleport/
I just installed Teleport on Macbook Air and Macbook Pro and am now working on both with a single wireless keyboard and glidepad simply by dragging mouse from one screen to the other.

How can I type "š" with english keyboard layout?

I was wondering if somewho can tell me, how I can type "š" with englis keyboard layout, because when I have restart iMac, layout was changed back to english (from Slovak) and now I cant start Mac OS X, cause in my login is "š"

Start with the Apple menu in the upper left of the Menu Bar and select System Preferences. On the System Preferences pane on the top row is the UN flag icon. For Tiger (OS-X 10.4) it was called "International". Click to take you to the Language Options:
The sub-menu called "Input Sources" (as you can see from the above screen shot) will take you to the panel that I referred to in the previous response. If you don't find your language listed then click on the "Edit List at the bottom left of the "Language" sub-menu. Once you make a change in either one of these places you will be given a notice to tell you that the change will be reflected the next time you restart your Mac or the next time that you log in to your account. If you are the only user and do not have another account on your Mac then the restart option will be your method. There is no need to do this procedure from the install DVD.

Thanks!

What do you mean by virtual keyboard?I guess he means the "Robot" class, and the answer is
to "press" shift, then press the 1 key, then release
the 1 key then release shift.Are you basing that on the steering the mouse question?
I guess.

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

Can I control two Macs with one keyboard & mouse simultaneously?

I'm presently the operator and head audio tech for a major Off-Broadway show. I'm running the show on Ableton Live 6 through a Mac Mini, using a MOTU 828mkIII as the Firewire audio interface to the console. "Show control" is basically straight music playback, plus arming and disarming loops, triggering sound FX cues, and stopping and starting playback. The show has been exceedingly stable, no real reason to worry - but the fact that I don't have a redundant backup system concerns me. Theoretically, I can use our Denon CD players to run the show off of discs I've burned, but it's only viable for me because I know the show; a sub running the show would be up the creek - and if we hit a snag and run out of loops, forget it. Furthermore, those of you who've worked with Live know that in a performance based/show control situation, you can remain in an audio loop indefinitely, without any worry of a CD running out of prerecorded loops. (This is a specific reason why we're using Ableton for this show - the music can keep "vamping" until automation and rigging give me the clear to proceed.)
Considering that I'll be taking some time off this summer, I don't want this to be a concern for my sub(s), so I've charged myself with the task of building a redundant backup. Problem is, I'm not sure how to do it.
What I've been looking at is a dual Ableton Live/Mac Mini/Firewire interface system. Basically, to duplicate what's running the show presently, and have it running in tandem while the main playback system goes to the house - but for both to be controlled by only one mouse, keyboard and screen, so there's no delay in the event of a crash. If one fails, I send the audio from the backup into the theatre. There would be no disruption of playback, except for the operator`s response time in switching to the backup`s audio output.
Software like Synergy and Teleport let me share a single keyboard, mouse, and screen over two or more computers - +but only control one computer at a time+. And I've looked for KVM switches and USB "splitters" but they also seem to be toggle devices between one or another computer - which leads me to think I may have to network the two...
Any ideas are appreciated, even the obvious ones, as I may have overlooked some or assumed some to be out of the question.
That`s basically it - *simultaneous realtime* control of two computers from one keyboard and mouse. Both Minis performing the same task at the same time.
Is there software/hardware that can do it, or can I network the backup as a "slave" that mimics the master?
Thanks.

Perhaps you could setup a parallel processing network:

The website was last updated 5 days ago according to Google. Hopefully their server will be back up soon. I noticed it wasn't connecting when I tried.

Opinion on what to do with midi keyboard situation

So a few weeks ago I purchased a m audio axiom 61 midi keyboard to use with logic 9 on my mbp that is currently running snow leopard. I connect the keyboard through a usb cable and when doing so, the keyboard turns on but no noise comes out when I press the keys. When I hook up to the keyboard to any computer running leopard it works fine, the problem is only when I hook it up to computers running snow leopard.
The keyboard is class compliant so there are no drivers, updates, or software that will make it work. After searching all over the internet these past few weeks for a solutions and having a horrible response in terms of customer service from m audio I have basically lost hope in terms of having this keyboard work with my computer.
I am asking what you guys think the best solution is for this problem. I'm debating either having to purchase a leopard install disc just to downgrade so it will run with my computer or selling the keyboard and just purchasing another one from a different company that will work with my computer by default. Both of these solutions would be a nuisance and I'm not looking forward to going through the steps for either.
What do you guys think I should do, and if you have any ideas on what to do please let me know.
Thank you.

I think we need to slow down here. You do not need to open Audio MIDI setup to test if the board works. Plug the thing in, open Logic, and simply look down in the transport window while you press some keys. You should see Note numbers flash just to the left of the CPU meters.
This is the critical step. CoreMidi is smart enough to know what is going on without even opening Audio MIDI Setup first. I do it all the time. I plug my M-Audio 02 keyboard in to the mac with a cable, and instantly get at least the notes coming into Logic in the transport as I described.
If you get the notes recognized, then your Axiom is fine.
As far as sound goes, that's a whole different story. You will get no sound in Logic unless you do several things first. I won't go into them all here, as I'm hoping you already know about going to the Preferences button at the top left of the screen and choosing Audio... from the list. Core Audio will come up and you can make sure you have Built-in Input selected since you don't have an external interface.
Then make a new track, choose a Soft Instrument, and a piano or something, and play away.
Audio Midi Setup control panel is for setting the SYSTEM's audio midi settings. Logic uses it's own settings. You need to set both to the same thing ideally.
But, say you get a firewire interface. Hook it up, go to Audio Midi Setup, you choose it as your choice of audio interface, and done....but Logic will still have Built-in Input set and you will hear nothing...so you have to again go and change it in Preferences > Audio.
bottom line, I use GarageBand as my test bed for things like this. It's a bit more "direct". The first track it puts in the line for you is a Piano...so you just plug the axiom in, and start playing.
Verify for us that you are getting note recognition in the Transport area.
One last thing - do you have a bunch of stuff plugged into the USB port with the Axiom? There is always the possibility there isn't enough bandwidth for the board to work if you have a scanner, iPhone, card reader, digital camera and keyboard/mouse all plugged in...longshot, but worth a mention.

Controlling Itunes 10 with G15 keyboard

I am trying to find out how to control Itunes 10 with my G15 keyboard while Itunes is in the background. It used to work in previous versions but has since stopped responding unless it is in the foreground

there is a .dll you can download that will make it work, but after 15 mins, it stops working. Used to work fine with older versions of itunes, so it's not the windows update.

How To Get A New Midi Keyboard Working On Mac 5G

Hello
i have a new midi keyboard ( Yamaha mx61 ) and an old mac 5g. Iv used a midi drum kit fine ( Yamaha DTX ) just plug in and play with garage ban. However, the keyboard want be found. The USB ( small ) from the keyboard to the USB to the computer , same as the drums and it's pick up as a standard typing keyboard.
Iv tried using the discs given but they won't work as this mac is running on10.4.11. Is there anyway to get it to work in garage band or is this to do with my mac being old.
thanks

Buying an Install Disc is the only way, it an Upgrade rather than an Update in strict terms.
10.4.x to 10.4.11 is an update, 10.4.x to 10.5.x is an upgrade.
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor

    * DVD drive for installation

Midi sync issues with midi keyboard

I am having issues with my midi keyboard being synced with logic pro. I have it connected with midi and audio. When I press play on logic the keyboard sounds will play but it sounds like it is a split second faster than logic. Anyone know any fixes for this issue?

There's several possibilities.
1. It could be plugin related, do you have any latency inducing plugins on the master bus or as inserts on and of the tracks. Maybe I should ask what plugins you're using?
2. In Logic's preferences/audio-Devices tab, is the "Recording Delay" slider set to zero? While your there go to the "General" tab, is the Plugin latency compensation set to "audio and software instrument tracks"?
3. If you have Low Latency mode enabled, disable it.

How do I import tempo changes with midi file?

When I import a midi file in LE, I don't get any of the tempo changes. Tempo is set at 120 bpm every time. I get all program and other controller data, but not tempo. What am I doing wrong? Is there a button I need to check somewhere?
Thanks,

You have to use "open" for the SMF, as opposed to "import". Even dragging a SMF into the arrange window brings in everything except the tempo map. This has always kind of bugged me actually.

With only a MIDI OUT you'll need an interface. Here are a few examples:

Best way to do video with MIDI keyboard input

A year or so ago I bought a TASCAM digital interface (US-144), good mike and a Yamaha P-70. Used this setup with GarageBand 08 with great success to produce female voice lead over MIDI piano. Also recently checked out iMovie 09 to produce a YouTube video using only an audio file and iPhoto pictures with Ken Burns effect.
Now I want to find the best way to produce a video of a piano performance using the MIDI input, rather than the recorded audio. Should I pursue iMovie or GarageBand, and if GarageBand (09), biggest question is how to get video that is synched correctly with the MIDI input. I could use the built-in cam on my MacBook Pro 13" for starters just to see if it worked. Suggestions appreciated.

say i took just the vocal from a track (lionel all
night long for example) and the instrumental just
music from like queen and in logic put the vocal over
the instrumental and created my own lionel/queen
remix how would i get the video to sync with that
when i came to fcp?know its a case of cuting and
editing it but if my vocal had to have been its tempo
increased to fit the instrumental in fcp i would have
to speed the video up to get it in sync?
sorry scott, you really need to spell things out like this for the middle-agers on the board like me. i don't know about the integration with logic but i would assume there's a way to use a timecode-based timeline instead of a beats-based timeline? base your clips on timecode and fcp can speed adjustments to it's clips up to a point. you may need to look for something like twixtor.
there are more knowledgeable folk here that have far more comprehensive knowledge on this than i and hopefully they'll contribute their voices.
