M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 and Garageband.

Hi,
I have noticed that some of the faders on my Pro88 change things like track volume and panning in my Garageband. I think that is wonderful and was wondering how I can go ahead and assign more of these faders to control more tracks as well as the main volume. Also, there are Play, Stop, Record, FFw, Rwd buttons on the Pro88, and I have tried unsuccessfully to link them to my Garageband. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Apart from the two controls you have found, I believe the only other controllable features are Garageband's transport controls. You can get GarageBand's transport controls to work with the Keystation Pro 88 by downloading and installing GarageRemote. I saved the advice of Steve McNally from this forum in May 2005. I think that thread has been removed from discussions. Please find his advice below.
"Thanks to GarageRemote and its very helpful developer, I've got the KeyStation Pro 88 working with (i.e. controlling) GarageBand.
Here's what I've got working now in GarageRemote's config:
F0 7F 7F 06 02 F7 - Play / Stop
F0 7F 7F 06 06 F7 - Record
F0 7F 7F 06 05 F7 - Rewind
F0 7F 7F 06 04 F7 - Fast Forward
F0 7F 7F 06 01 F7 - Home / Start of Track(*)
(*) - For this, I used the KeyStation's transport control marked "Stop" since GBand's Play and Stop are the same command toggled."
Hope this helps.

MIDI problems with M-Audio Keystation Pro 88

I have an M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 MIDI keyboard controller I use with any number of DAW's. Lately the MIDI signals have been acting very strangely when I updated to 10.10. I have updated all the MIDI drivers in my library and since the M-Audio products need no drivers for a MAC, there are never updates in either firmware or MIDI drivers.
Example;
When running any of the DAW's I open Kontakt 5 and assign a VI. I right click the volume knob on the VI and tell it to "learn MIDI" and when I move a fader on the KeyStation it's inverted. No gain is now Hi and vice versa. Anyone else having this issue with MIDI in Yosemite?

Thanks Jord,
I have been trying this out. So i set up a new preset bank and say label it 'Live', in this preset bank i then set up my preset.
Everytime the M-Audio is turned off and on will i have to load the new preset bank 'Live' using Enigma, or will it be stored in its memory

Logic Pro X Interface M-Audio Keystation Pro 88

Before I cut my meals (probably a month of lunches) from my Social Security budget take the plunge into Logic X (much more reasonably priced than even previous upgrades) -- has anyone had tips or problems with interfacing any or all functions with M-Audio's Keystation Pro 88 -- my workhorse? I cannot afford to upgrade there keyboard and software.....period and will stick with my old copy of 9 rather than lose the weight.

M-audio is own by Digidesign (Protools), which is owned by Avid. You wont get their gear working on Leopard without paying. Every time Apple releases a new cat in the wild Avid/Digi makes you pay. Get used to it or find some other hardware that wont take weeks or even months to update a simple driver for that hardware you are married to. I stopped using Protools but i'm stuck with their hardware. Learn from my mistake & find yourself a hardware company that keep up with Apple updates like Motu. My Power Mac G4's built in audio driver goes to 192 khz. What's up with that Digi? all that money for 92 khz.

Problems with M-Audio Keystation Pro 88

Hello everyone,
I am using a M-Audio keyboard as my controller keyboard in Logic 7.2. I have assigned certain instruments from Logic to differnet zones on the M-Audio. I have done this for four songs hence i have used 4 of the presets on the M-Audio.
What i am experiencing is that some of the faders or knobs have been assigned to certain parameters in Logic. For example the knob B10 controls the pan of the instrument. I thought you had to assign them yourself.
How do i set up my M_audio keyboard so that nothing is assigned to any of the faders, knobs and buttons on the M-Audio.
Cheers

Logic Pro 9 and GarageBand '11 won't recognize MIDI controllers

Hi there,
I have two MIDI controllers that are not getting picked up by Logic or Garage Band and I'm unable to figure out why. I'm running Mac OS 10.9.4 (Mavericks) on a Mac Mini with a 250 GB SSD and 4 GB of RAM.
Setup 1 is a simple Acorn Masterkey 49 USB controller whose manufacturer claims needs no drivers, although it doesn't show up in my Audio/MIDI setup pane at all, no matter how many times I restart the computer and/or the controller in any combination. I can't use it with Logic or with Garage Band.
Setup 2 is a Digi002 Rack connected to the Mac Mini by Firewire and connected to an old-school Korg M1 as a MIDI controller. I can launch and hear the tracks I've made in the past with Logic, but now that Korg M1 is invisible even though the Core Audio Manager says my Digi002 Rack is connected and running. This setup has really never been able to speak with Garage Band, although I have been able to connect it successfully in the past.
I'm a newbie to this and don't know how to get under the hood to fine-tune MIDI set-ups within Logic or GarageBand. Is there something funky going on between Logic 9 and Mavericks, however? I'm beginning to wonder if that's the issue.
With thanks,
Dustin.

Hi Dustin,
Nice to see someone pose a complete question with all the details...
First thing to do would be to delete Logic's preferences and the control surface preferences. Although I don't think it's going to help. I'll post the method at the end of this post.
One of the problem with older MIDI devices is that Apple changed something in their MIDI spec and some older MIDI devices either don't work (not recognized) or if they are recognized don't work reliably. Another problem, depending on ho old your Mac Mini is, the newer machines have USB 3.0 ports and that poses another hurdle.
Here's two things to try for the Acorn.
Turn the computer off, unplug the Acorn's USB cable. Restart the MacMini and let it settle for a couple of minutes, open Audio-MIDI Setup... plug the Acorn in, see if there's and life.
Try a powered USB 2.0 USB Hub, a hub that has it's own power supply. If you don't have one maybe you can borrow one as it's only a -possible- solution.
The Problem with the M! and Digi002 may be related. Are you using the very latest drivers available for the 002? Again, this may be a MIDI compatibility problem, although I thought this was USB only, I suspect it's more of a Digi002 driver issue with Mavericks than anything else.
MIDI Out on the M1 to MIDI IN on the 002
Delete the Logic 9 preferences file and control surfaces file.
In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic.pro.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro User Manual for details on how to do this.
If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro. then delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
Be sure to include the Tilde~ in the path name above, be sure and delete both files.

M-Audio keystation Pro 88 & Leopard?

Contemplating install of OSX to 2nd drive in next week.
Curious if anyone has an M-Audio keyboard working with Leopard? I see their drivers have not been updated yet.

Logic pro, Kontakt 2 and keystation pro

When I use an 'instrument bank' in Kontakt 2, I want to controll the different cells (patches) with the buttons B46 to B51 from my M-Audio keystation pro. In Cubase this happens automatically; but what to change in Logic pro to become that result? Now, pressing those buttons in Logic don't change the patches ...
thank you for helping

Anyone tried the m-audio keystation 61es with their intel imac?

I was thinking of getting one for garageband and was wondering if it would work, Thanks

I have an m-audio keystation pro 88 connected & it works fine, as does my emi 6|2m interface. I can't say as I've stressed it much wrt faders, knobs & switches, but the keys play and sound comes out the other end.

Mainstage with Keystation Pro 88

Hi all,
i'm having big problem mapping buttons on the Keystation pro 88 to the mainstage, all the buttons seem to function at the same time... i can't assign them individually... i have no idea what i've doen wrong here.... all the knobs and faders were mapped perfectly...apart from the buttons... if anyone has any idea please advise.. also... how do i get the master level map to the VU metre?
thank you in advance...

soratach,
I believe I have found the problem. I just recently purchased a Keystation Pro 88, and had the exact same issue, all of the buttons triggered at the same time. The problem lies in the programming of the Keystation Pro, not Mainstage. Try this:
1. On the left side of the Keystation panel, press the button that says "Recall" (it should be the very first one, top left).
2. The internal program number the Keystation is set to will appear as a number between 1 and 10 on the screen. These are the mappings the Keystation comes with from the factory. This mapping can come into conflict with Mainstage's mapping, hence the button problems.
3. Press the number 8 (which is the default program for Logic). You will have to re-learn all of the mapping in your Mainstage concert, but the buttons will function individually now. If that doesn't work, you could also try doing the above but pressing 10, this is the Keystation's factory default for learning.
Hope it works out, man.
Cheers!

Problems with M-Audio Fasttrack Pro and Garageband after 10.5.2

Hi all,
I use GarageBand daily with my M-Audio FastTrack Pro and have had absolutely no problems until I installed the 10.5.2 update.
Suddenly the Audio randomly cuts out when I'm recording, monitoring or playing back - also my recordings appear to skip and jump too. Usually I can rectify it by power cycling the Fasttrack but the problem re-occurs after about 30 seconds of recording.
I have double checked the I am using M-Audio's latest drivers and have repaired permissions and the disk. I was wondering if anyone else had had any problems with this?
All help would be appreciated, looks like I'm going back to 10.5.1 though.

Hi !
Still no answer from M-Audio but it seems that they are not in cause.
I read on several topics of Apple's Forums some similar problems with other audio devices and also with some USBhubs.
I ran some little tests and for my case, using the other USB port of the MacBook seems to resolve the problem (but that's not a permanent solution for my point of view).
Using a selft-powered USBhub works also, even on the port that makes it crash without hub.
As I studied a little bit of electronics, it looks really like a problem of power supply through USB to me. It could be some kind of micro-cuts (or micro-undervoltage) that are sufficient to cut the audio stream and freeze a bit the system but not enough for MacOSX to switch significantly to the internal audio.
But two questions still remain :
Why one USB port of the MacBook and not the other one ?
Why since 10.5.2 ?
Steve, if you hear me ;o)
'Hope they will react quickly !

USING GARRITAN JABB WITH LOGIC 8 and KEYSTATION PRO

Anyone out there using Garritan Jazz & Big Band? I can't get any vibrato even though I'm moving the vibrato dial on the screen (this goes for "lite" as well as the regular instruments")
is there some toggle i'm forgetting to use? I do get flutter...
right now pitch bend works, and the mod wheel controls volume.... do i have to assign that wheel or some other dial on my controller to make the other stuff work?

Please check the JABB manual. Although M-Audio's Keystation Pro 88 does not have aftertouch, you can set up any of the Keystation Pro's faders or turn knobs to the CC# that provides the same aftertouch effect. The JABB manual will tell you which CC# to use for aftertouch. (I am away from home and away from my own manual, otherwise I would give you this information.)
Because of all of the CC#'s that are utilized within JABB to help create "real sounding" instruments, I usually do several recordings after the original one for each of the CC#'s that I may use. This includes that "aftertouch" CC# that I've set up on either a fader or turn-knob. This is my work-flow methodology which works well enough for me. Then, I fine-tune the recorded CC#'s information using Hyperdraw.
Without a doubt, this is a labor-intensive process. But with the time and effort put into JABB (and other similar instrumental libraries), comes a more natural-sounding work. At least this is true for my ears, anyway.
Good luck to you!

I have Macbook pro A1286 and was wondering how to connect it to the tv and have audio?

Like the title says, I have a 15 inch macbook pro A1286 (from mid 2009) and want to hook it up to a tv. I also know that my particular model of macbook pro doesn't support audio from the mini display. I know that I will need a mini display to hdmi cable or converter and a hdmi cable if I decide to go for the converter for the video. I've seen both the cord (1 side is hdmi and the other is mini display just to clarify if I'm not using the right terminology) and converter online and any comments on which is better/preferred would be helpful. What kind of cable do I need to get sound to play through the tv? If you could suggest brands (unless all of them are about the same), I would be very grateful. It would be nice to know if the cords have to be specifically from apple just so I don't buy the wrong thing. If there's an easier way (less cords) to do this than hdmi feel free to say something Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it and am eternally grateful.

My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?

My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?

There is probably a red light on inside your headphone port, indicating that the analog/digital switch in there is stuck in the digital position. Insert a headphone plug and wigle it around, especially in the horizontal plane, as you insert and remove it several times. This will usually unstick the switch and restore normal operation. If it doesn't, the machine will need to be repaired.
This has been a fairly common problem, but in most cases it is easily cured as described above.

Please Help

What format is your problem clip? Are there wave forms visible in the section without sound?
Right click on the clip in the event broswer and choose Reveal in Finder; open the clip in Quick Time to confirm that there is sound throughout at that stage of your workflow.
