I Can't output MIDI to USB hardware in QT Win

I have a midi instrument (Player Piano) connected to my pc using a USB MIDI device. Quicktime will not output MIDI to my device. Both WMP v11 and Real Player will play the piano perfectly. My goal is to use iTunes to play my MIDI files on my Piano. Please Help

midi tracks are already "armed" when you select them, so there is no need to push the "R" button again if its already red. This would infact make it so you DONT hear your midi. But oddly enough you can still record in this mode, and though you dont hear what your recording, it will playback when you're done, so this cant be your problem.
So, you are able to hear audio tracks in logic, correct? So I can assume the monitoring side of your system is working fine. You can also record midi, so thats working fine.
Are you trying to trigger an external synth? Perhaps its midi/audio is not hooked up? If it is, perhaps your midi keyboard is sending data from the wrong midi channel?
Try opening a logic instrument like the EFM1 or something, and try to play your midi keyboard (making sure the red R is on). Can you hear any sound?

Can't get MIDI output running

Hi there,
I was trying to run Guitar Pro 5 through wine. When I couldn't manage to get sound output, I realized that I don't have any MIDI output at all (i.e. the problem is not wine-specific).
So I checked on http://www.midi-howto.com/ and tried ot follow the tutorial there. I probably should have the necessary alsa packages - but acutally there is no 'alsa-drivers' on the Arch-repositoriers and I could not compile the latest drivers from the alsa website. But as wav-sound is working fine, I assume that I have the drivers I need.
I made all entries at the /etc/modules.conf that the alsa website proposed for my soundcard (Intel OnBoard chipset using intel8x0m). Then I tried to modprobe the following modules by hand:
snd-seq
snd-seq-midi
snd-seq-midi-event
This creates the device files /dev/sound/sequencer[1,2] and the corresponding symlinks /dev/sequencer[1,2] but when a programm tries to use them or when i try to 'cat' them I always just get
/dev/sound/sequencer: No such device
Does anybody have an idea where the probleme originates and how I might solve it?

if the onboard soundchip is not able to play midi (most onboard sound hardware can't play midi) you have to use a midi-to-wav converter like Timidity++
edit:
I see you are from Germany, so have a look at the german wiki

Can anyone recommend a portable USB 3.0 drive with hardware encryption, compatible with OSX and Windows 7. I need it for my MacBook Pro 13", 2012, running Mountain Lion

Can anyone recommend a portable USB 3.0 drive with hardware encryption, compatible with OSX Mountain Lion and Windows 7. I need it for my MacBook Pro 13”, 2012, running Mountain Lion & Windows 7 Ultimate - BootCamp. I’ve heard that the Buffalo MiniStation Encryption does not work with OSX, is that true..? I'd like it to work with both operating systems, using the built in hardware encryption. Thanks

1. can i install a SSD? 2. can i upgrade (install new) usb 3 hardware to replace current USB2.0?

Currently running macbook pro 2.4Ghz intel core i7 15'' Late 2011. Wanted to know if and how so (if so), 1. can i install a SSD? 2. can i upgrade (install new) usb 3 hardware to replace current USB2.0?

To installing a SSD, yes, it is possible. See this link to read more.
There are also quite a few YouTube videos on the process.
To the second, no, it's not possible to replace USB 2 with 3 without replacing the system.

Have no idea what you are asking about. What hardware issue? What does a USB and a 2007 MacBook Pro have to do with it?

Audio output and left USB port is not working!

Hi! I have MacBook Air 13" late 2010, Audio output and left USB port is not working!
What happened?
Part No.: Z0JH000TE RS

If the left USB port doesnt work with an external mouse its seems to be a hardware malfunction of this USB port.
The newest BIOS is already installed?
Have you removed all USB ports from device manager and restarted your notebook?
If you have already tried this, contact an authorized service provider. The guys can try to fix this issue and it should be covered by warranty, if you still have warranty on this notebook. :)

Midi to usb. Microphone

so i have a casio plugged into my garageband via a midi to usb cord, and when i try to record it won't record any sound unless the microphone is on, which of course has horrible quality. then when i turn the microphone off it doesn't register that it is making any sound just that im hitting the keys...whats the problem why won't it register any sound? how can i record without the mic? sorry if this is a stupid question...thanks!!!

Without an interface of any kind I guess you'll need to plug into the Mac's line-in, which would be a mini (1/8").
If your Casio has a headphone out it could be a 1/8" or a 1/4" (TRS). So you'd need a 1/4" to 1/8" plug or something like that. (there are cables with one of each size on either end or there are little 1/4 to 1/8 connector pieces).
They you'll need to choose the built-in input in GarageBand Prefs>Audio/MIDI.
The Casio may also have a line-out. It could be two RCA or phono jacks. You can also get a cable to convert that too. I would prefer a line-out because it's a fixed output, unlike the headphone out which probably responds to the unit's volume control.

Can you assign MIDI instrument parameters as MIDI CC assignments (quantize, transposition, etc)?

Hello!
Is it possible to assign MIDI controller CC assignments in a way that will allow me to control the following Logic MIDI instrument parameters via knobs on my MIDI controller?
I would love to have control over the following parameters with whatever track or MIDI region is selected:
Quantize
Transposition
Velocity
Delay
My Akai LPD8 is begging me to be able to assign these parameters as CC events with the Akai LPD8 controller editor software.
It might seem silly, but being able to twist a knob to control toggling between these drop-down parameters would make for some intuitive, hands-on creative control while in performance/creation mode, or really as a means to audition different ideas. Why should these tools be only for tedious editing?
I understand that I wouldn't be able to record these event changes as MIDI automation data, but they would be great to get a feel of what I am looking for during creative sessions.
Anyone know if this is possible? I didn't see that it was obvious to do so, though I am just getting into mapping my custom controls with Logic.
Thanks so much!

Thanks for the reply....
I actually tried freezing the software instrument track and that had little if no effect on CPU. I then read in the book or somewhere that the freeze function really only works on effect plugins. Don't know if that's true in all cases, but that seems to be what's happening. Still would like to combine these tracks and I'm guessing I'm going to have to get creative with bussing or subgroups to make this happen. Unfortunately I think the fact that my Presonus board has hardmapped output routings for all the inputs makes that difficult, but haven't actually tried yet. I'm thinking if I can reroute the midi modules audio output input into the Presonus to a subgroup and then route the software instrument plug in to the same subgroup that I can then mix/capture this and hopefully route the audio's input to the subgroup to pick up the mix.
Does this make sense to anybody reading this?
We'll see and I'll post the results if it works....
thanks...b

"USB Hardware Not Recognized by Windows"

Please help. I keep getting an error mssage "USB Hardware not Recognized by Windows" I believe i have tried it all. Uninstalled Itunes. Reinstalled Itunes.
Okay I just tried pluggin it in as I typed this and it worked. The only thing I did diffrent was I unplugged my External Back-up drive.
Is this Common? Can anyone help explain this to me?

I have a combo floppy drive/USB 2.0 card reader and I believe I have the same problem.
I'm not over-clocking and while USB shows up in WinXP in device manager the card reader is not recognized by the system even though I KNOW I have it connected correctly. The floppy works fine.
I believe the 4 USB ports on the mobo are non-functional but can't test it until Thursday sometime.
Hopefully this is correctable with a BIOs update.
Anyone else have issues with the USB ports on the mobo and if so, were you able to fix it? How?

My 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard won't boot even after erasing and re-installing Snow Leopard (via my MacBookPro), either from the HD or DVD drive. Can't get it to run Hardware Test. Disk Utility says disk OK - files are there. What can I do?

My 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard won't boot even after erasing and re-installing Snow Leopard. I erased and re-installed by putting the iMac in Target Disk mode and usin my MacBookPro as the host. But after numerous attempts I still can't get it to boot either from the HD or DVD drive. I just get the white screen after the wheel stops spinning. I can't get it to run Hardware Test - just get the white screen. If I use Disk Utility via my MBP it says the disk appears OK. All the Snow Leopad files appear to have been installed. What can I do?

Perhaps you installed the wrong version OS X onto the iMac, you can't use the disk from another Mac.
clean the disk.
If it's not working then use this method to create a bootable 10.6 USB from the iMac machine specific 10.6 disk or the 10.6.3 retail disk on your other Mac, use it to boot the iMac with.

Need a midi-to-usb converter

So...I'm trying to figure out which midi-to-usb converter would work best to connect my Suzuki KM-88 keyboard to my MacBook so I can record with GarageBand. Any ideas on what would work the best? I would appreciate it!
Thanks,

Hi there!
Thanks so much for the link! Are these the best adaptors that I can get? Or should I look for some higher quality ones? I'll be using it a lot, so, just wondering.

Can I hook up 2 USB headsets to me Macbook Pro?

Can I hook up 2 USB headsets to me Macbook Pro (running v.10.9.2)?

Are you looking through Thunderbolt? You can do it on your model with 2 Thunderbolt displays according to Apple Support document;
Thunderbolt-capable Macs, with discrete AMD Radeon graphics can support up to two connected Apple Thunderbolt Displays.
MacBook Pro (15-inch and 17-inch, Early 2011)
iMac (Mid 2011)2
Mac mini (Mid 2011), 2.5 GHz3
Two Thunderbolt display
Here is a third party that does it also;
Matrox DualHead2Go DP Edition or TripleHead2Go DP Edition. Pricey though.

How can I output RCA video?

How can I output RCA video from the headphone jack of my macbook pro? Is there any software to do this?

I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera... is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
thanx

Can't hear midi?

I have been using logic for a while, but just got a Midiman USB keyboard and wanted to do some midi tracks. The drivers are installed and it works and plays in Reason. I can record the midi notes in Logic, but there is no playback. Is there a reason for this? I am not seeing a way to do this. How does one record and hear a midi track?
Message was edited by: marco33

A MIDI track is for playing an external MIDI device like a synth/keybard etc - what I think you need is an instrument track into which you add a logic synth/plugin- you then play this with your MIDI keyboard.
Click on the box under the I/O label on the channel strip and select an instrument like ES2.. Or click on the box at the top of the strip and select something from the Logic Library.

Zen MX Causes "USB Hardware has Malfunctioned" Msg from Windows Xp

MZen MX Causes "USB Hardware has Malfunctioned" Msg from Windows XpKNew? guy here.
I have a THREE MONTH OLD Zen Mx 6gb. I noteced the past several weeks on playback it has started to "miss" or "hiccup" while playinmg back songs. Annoying.
NOW, when I attach it via USB it causes a flag to jump up? above the bottom toolbar that says "USB device not recognized"? One of the devices attached has malfunctioned. Try re-connecting or replacing the unit"
I have tried every port, same thing. I plugged it into two different computers and got the same message.
It still charges and plays what little I have loaded on it, (only about 250 songs)? I just can't add anything.
I have searched for this extensi'vely and the 'help' function on windows is no help at all.
ANYONE?

QRe: Zen MX Causes "USB Hardware has Malfunctioned" Msg from Windows XpyUhh, Yes.
I used to same cable to attach my Motorola Razr and the computer correctly found it and identified it as such.
I also tried another cable (brand new) same thing.
I went to recovery mode and did a "CLEAN UP" but no dice.
I also got my I.S. tech guy to look into it and on the USB page it say "UNKNOWN DEVICE"? when he tried to delete it it did not help, it just reappears as "UDVC"? Also in looking into it it seems to have no drivers.
He came to this site and tried to do somethinm through here but it did'nt work.
Now in listening to it last night it began to 'skip' or what I call 'HICCUP" terribly. Where a song starts and stops, during the middle of it. ? It's always done it a little but it has been getting more and more common and now? It's WAY worse about it.
It has never been dropped, or nishandled in any way. I bought the clear hard case to protect it. And only has about 300 songs on it. Never used for anything else. No vids no pics, nothing.
