M-Audio Midisport 2x2 Box :(

Hey guys,
Ive been trying to use this USB MIDIsport 2x2 M-Audio Box with Logic and its been putting up a fight.
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/MIDISPORT2x2-main.html
Ive correctly run the software install from the CD that came with it, and installed the latest drivers from M-Audio's site, however it wont show up under Audio Devices in Logic.
Could my keyboard be holding the device back from showing up? I have a Yamaha Motif 7, and the CDs that came with it dont have anything useful on them.
Or, do I have me MIDI setup done incorrectly? I have a MIDI cable from the keyboard->box, USB cable->computer.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Midi and Audio are different animals, the Midisport is a Midi only device and it won't show up as audio. In fact, you don't really need to Logic to 'see' any audio device, Logic talks to the 'Core Audio'. Your 'Audio Midi Setup' utility should 'see' them (Applications/Utilities). (I'm guessing you're running OSX since you didn't specified is )
Or, do I have me MIDI setup done incorrectly? I have a MIDI cable from the keyboard->box, USB cable->computer.
This looks fine (make sure to have at least: Keyboard-Midi OUT > Box-Midi IN). Play some notes on the keyboard, look at your transport window, there is a small part in it that says 'Midi in/out', it should show activity when you play your keyboard.

Legacy midisport 2x2 with snow leopard

I couldn't get my old pre m-audio midisport 2x2 working with Snow Leopard and m-audio's current drivers. M-audio claimed that connecting through a usb hub "might" work. I didn't want to invest in yet another bit of hardware for a possible solution so after a little searching and experimenting I came upon this solution and everything now seems to work fine.
First I downloaded an old driver MIDI_USB_OSX_3.2.2.dmg . Then this firmware loader utility MidiSportLoader-12-dl.pkg.zip . And then followed the instructions on this page http://namedfork.net/midisportloader/#downloads . After rebooting the computer and interface now seem to be communicating quite well.
This might also work if you are having problems with other older models from the midisport series.

This saved me from throwing away my old Midiman Midisport 2x2...A big thank you!

M-Audio USB MIDIsport 2x2 MIDI Interface and macbook pro

i just got a m-Audio USB MIDIsport 2x2 MIDI Interface on ebay, but I can not find drivers so that it will be able to run on my macbook pro (which is obviosly Intel).However, there is one driver that can support it but its for firewire, which dose not make any sence because it is a usb controler.
here is a link to the driver list

Midisport 2x2 on osx 10.5.8 fails (but works in Fusion with Vista)

Windows definitely wins this one. On the same machine, Windows just works. The Mac, not so much.
I installed the midisport mac drivers, and after that the lights on the device turned on. So far so good.
But:
GarageBand shows 0 midi inputs
Audio Midi Setup shows no midi input
MIDI Monitor shows no midi inputs
The hardware is correctly cabled. I'm using VMWare Fusion with Windows Vista on the same machine, and midi input works in Windows with a program called Anvil Studio. I can record midi from my keyboard (but with a huge delay).
VMWare Fusion is the only Mac program that notices that the midi adapter is there. The menus shows: Virtual Machine/USB/Connect Midiman USB Device.
Any suggestions for other things to try? How can I verify that the driver is properly loaded? I see this:
root 116 0.0 0.2 137576 6772 ?? S 9:55AM 0:00.43 /Library/StartupItems/M-Audio Firmware Loader/MAFL
How do you get a list of usb devices on a Mac? System Profiler shows it as a Composite Device (I think). No further info available. If VMWare Fusion can see that it's a Midiman USB Device, why can't System Profiler tell what it is?
Another wrinkle: Besides working in Vista with Anvil Studio, I haven't found another Windows utility that sees the midi input. For example, MIDI-OX tells me there is no midi device.
Hardware:
midisport 2x2

M-Audio MIDISPORT UNO USB Not Working With Snow Leopard

My Snow Leopard installation worked fine except until I plugged in my MacBook to my Casio Privia with the M=Audio MIDISPORT UNO USB cable to run GarageBand. I'm getting a MIDI error which states it can't work with the latest operating system. It doesn't surprise me though for all the software and hardware driver updates that have to catch up to such a new OSX 10.6. I went to the M-Audio site to download the latest driver, but the drivers only were compatible with OSX10.5.8.
This is an alert at the site
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Support Coming Soon
Avid/M-Audio working closely with Apple to offer support for OS X 10.6
Avid/M-Audio is pleased to hear that Apple has released Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. We’ve been working closely with Apple to bring Snow Leopard support to the M-Audio® product line, as well as the Pro Tools® product line and extended product families. We ask that all existing Mac users please wait to upgrade until we officially announce Snow Leopard support. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.
This is a bit of a concern, because I need to get GarageBand running again with the MIDI hook ups. Is there a work around anyone knows about to get MIDI working with Snow Leopard.
Thanks Steve

I ran into a similar problem. I discovered one thing which may help you out though. It works OK with my Yamaha P200 keyboard but it does not work with my Yamaha NP30 keyboard. I looked at the MIDI stream and the only difference seems to be that the NP30 sends a continuous stream of MIDI clock, whereas the P200 does not. My theory is that this clock stream is somehow confusing the driver. I can't seem to disable the MIDI clock on my NP30 but if your Privia has the ability to disable MIDI clock, then it may be worth a try as it will probably fix the problem until they come out with the proper drivers.

UDev rules not working for MidiSport 2x2 usb midi device

I installed arch a couple of months ago and am loving it so far. Any problems I've had so far have already been solved in the forums, but this one's really got me. I have a MidiSport 2x2 that I want the firmware to be loaded on everytime I plug it in. I installed (there's not an arch package) a package that is supposed to do just that. (It's called midisport-firmware-1.2.tar.gz). However, the package seems to be out of date (2006) and I even had to modify a couple places in the configure script to get it to work with current program revisions. However, once installed, it does nothing. It installed firmware files and udev rules for the device into a couple of directories. When I run the command that is supposed to load the firmware, it works fine. But for some reason, (I even checked the udev kernel log) it's like the event isn't even being triggered. Here's part of the original file that came with the package that's supposed to load the firmware:
# midisport-firmware.rules - udev rules for loading firmware into MidiSport devices
# DEVPATH=="/*.0" selects interface 0 only
# (some udev versions don't work with SYSFS{bInterfaceNumber})
# MidiSport 2x2
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", DEVPATH=="/*.0", ENV{PRODUCT}=="763/1001/*", RUN+="/sbin/fxload -s /usr/local/share/usb/maudio/MidiSportLoader.ihx -I /usr/local/share/usb/maudio/MidiSport2x2.ihx"
# vim: ft=conf
And here's what I modified it to in an attempt to make it work:
# MidiSport 2x2
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0763", ATTR{idProduct}=="1001", RUN+="/sbin/fxload -D /dev/%k -s /usr/local/share/usb/maudio/MidiSportLoader.ihx -I /usr/local/share/usb/maudio/MidiSport2x2.ihx"
I would really appreciate help from anyone who knows about this kind of thing, as I can't figure out what's going wrong. If it's something wrong with the config, please let me know. Actually, some HAL events popped up when I was testing this out. Is it possible HAL is blocking the udev event somehow?

Hi,
The firmware files must be put in /lib/firmware so they can be found by the kernel. Are they being put there?

When I delete a clip's audio the red box appears as if it's out of sync

Once I've decided I don't need a clip's audio I go ahead and delete it. It's not out of sync at all FYI. Once I delete the audio the red box with the numbers show up as if I've just made the video go out of synch with the audio even though all I did was delete. Why is this happening and how I can fix this? I've tried MARK IN SYNC and it's helped before but it's not helping now.

Audio from X1 box to bluetooth speakers

how do i get the audio to my bluetooth spreakers?

No Bluetooth boxes I am aware of but it sounds like a good idea for hearing impaired people. FYI, Sennheiser makes some RF cordless headphones that are designed for hearing impaired people to aid them with TV watching. They aren't cheap but my customers that have them absolutely love them. kenbre wrote:
Is there a TV receiver box that has Bluetooth ability? I am hearing impaired and with a Bluetooth headset, I would be able to watch television with my family without having to raise the volume too high.

Problem with LOGIC AUDIO 5 (BIG BOX) any Help is Useful

Hi,
I just sold my old Logic 5 Audio (big Box) on Ebay, but the new owner claims that he can't install the software without a serial(In my opinnion he should be able to install when he has the XSKey). Where can I ask for the serial, because I don't have it anymore.
The XSKey is: 000009432201434
XSKey Firmware 23-0
I would be pleased for any help that you can give me.

Hi,
If my memory serves me well, there were serial numbers for the soft synths that were included in the Big box version. Those serials had to be entered in the XSKey via Logic. But if you used those and entered the serials while the product was yours, they should be in the key already. Are you sure the buyer understands he(she) has to plug the key on the computer? Maybe the XSKey needs to be updated? Good luck...

Upgrade Logic Express 9 from Logic Audio 5 (Big Box)

Hi,
I am trying to install Logic Express 9 Upgrade (the version to upgrade from Logic Express 6, 7 or 8 or Logic Audio 5 or 6 / Big Box) on my Mac. The installer asks me for my old serial number to upgrade - when I plug in my XSKey which I got with the Big Box (Logic Audio 5) I get an error message that my XSKey is not eligible for the upgrade.
I already tried the XSKey updater, tried installing the latest XSKey driver and also installed Logic Audio 6 to check the authorization of my XSKey. It clearly states that my XSKey is authorized for Logic Audio 5 (not for 6 though).
When checking on a Windows-PC it states that it is authorized for both the Windows and Mac version of Logic Audio 5. Since I don't have an academic or other NFR-edition of Logic Audio 5 I should really be eligible for that upgrade, right?
Any suggestions on how to install the upgrade?
Thank you,
johannes.

I called Apple regarding this issue that Monday and after sorting out the usual pitfalls while upgrading (as I mentioned Academic/NFR-Versions) they asked me to mail in my XSKey because I should have been able to upgrade.
Today Apple sent me a replacement serial number for Logic Express 9 and everything is up and running now. Many thanks to Apple Professional Applications Support!
Best regards,
johannes.

Audio Codec error box when I try to view a clip in Edit Box

Just started trying to use Pr E 7. Vista
I get the media from an external hard drive, drag it to the timeline box. When I try to 'play' it, I get an
"Adobe Default Windows Sound Device" box that says:
Device: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Error Code: FFA-8-000D (80040154)
Info:
Playback failed
The audio system does not seem to respond.
Maybe card does not support full duplex mode.
The funny thing is the clip that I'm trying to play doesn't have any audio in it.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

You are most welcome.
So very much depends on the exact process used to encode the AV (Audio & Video) file. There are many encoding processes, that will create elemental streams, i.e. Audio-only, or Video-only files. However, many schemes, and many programs, that will create a muxed (multiplexed, or combined Audio & Video) files, and though there is no Audio signal, a silent Audio Track will be written. You can even do this yourself from Share/Export. If you choose a common format, like DV-AVI, you will have the option to Export Video, and Export Audio, and also have Multiplexing choices. If you remove all Audio from the Timeline, but choose both Video & Audio, and set Multiplexing to DV, you should end up with a muxed DV-AVI file, that will have a 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio track embedded, but it will be silent. G-Spot will tell you the specs. of that Audio stream, even though there is no signal in it. When you go to Import, or play that file, the NLE, or player will need to "handle" the Audio too, though there is no signal.
Now, going back to the digitizing process, one can often set Audio to None, or Multiplexing to None. This will depend on the software, and/or hardware used, but one might be able to output an elemental stream, with Video-only. Some programs and hardware are pretty much "hard-wired" to do only an Multiplexed AV file, regardless of the lack of a stream for either of those.
When doing any Multiplexed AV files, it is prudent to check both streams, even if the source material is lacking one stream. You want the specs. to match, with say even a silent Audio stream set to 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV (the general specs. for DV/DVD files). If one accidentally allows the software, or hardware, to write an "off-spec." file, say MPEG Audio at 22KHz 12-bit, problems can arise, even though there is no Audio stream. There will be one, at those specs. for the silent Audio in the resultant file.
On the surface, and at first thought, this is not intuitive. Hey, we have silent footage! What's that Audio stream doing there? Well, it's because the file is a Multiplexed AV file, and was probably set up that way by the capture/digitizing/output program, and it did not know that you would not have an Audio signal.
Hope that this helps,
Hunt

Captivate 7 question - slide with audio and light boxes not functioning properly

I am currently working a project and cannot figure something out.
I have a slide with 9 smartshape buttons on it. When each button is clicked it brings up a lightbox. Each lightbox has it's own close button. When the lightbox is closed by the user then the user immediately sees the 9 button screen and can choose another button to view and read, and so forth. I have the lightboxes working fine.
Now, I added text to speech. It is a mere 15 seconds in length, but it contains some important content and the directions. I want the text to speech audio to stop playing if the user goes ahead and clicks on one of the 9 buttons which then brings up a lightbox. I want the audio to then resume when they close the lightbox. OK I have all of that working in a technical sense.
I've also tried this advanced action, but this stops the Audio entirely, however it does solve the autoadvance issue. so I am just trading issues.
I also have "back and next" nav buttons on the slide, so the user must click one or the other to proceed off the slide. Ok those worked.
Here is the issue. Once I added the text to speech audio, at the end of 17.3 seconds, whatever lightbox the user may be viewing and they hit the close lightbox button, captivate automatically sends the user to the next slide. No clicking "Next" or anything. I can't figure out why this is occurring.
Prior to adding audio the slide worked as it should with the user being able to click each of the 9 buttons to "read some info" then close it and click another button on the slide, etc. They could do this in any order they wanted.
When I added the audio, I set the advanced actions so if a user clicked on one of the buttons, the audio would stop playing until they came back to the main screen. Ok no problem getting that to function - except it stops functioning at the end of 17.3 seconds.
What am I missing?
Thanks for any help!!!
Michelle

Correct I have only 15 seconds of audio with the slide. no audio with any of the light boxes. Those are "read only" light boxes.
If the user clicks a shape button early, before the entire audio has played, I want the audio to stop, so the user can read the lightbox info, then as they click back to the slide away from the lightbox, I want the audio to resume playing - so they can hear the rest of the audio. But, this is where is doesn't function properly as when the audio finishes playing at 15 seconds. The next shape button the user clicks on to shows the lightbox, but when they click to close the lightbox, the lightbox closes then sends the user to the next slide. They haven't had a chance to view any of the other shape buttons and the information found in those corresponding light boxes.
I hope this clarifies.
Any thoughts?
Michelle
