Mainstage 2 between keyboard and tone generator

I'm having some problems trying to do the following:
I have a keyboard (midi controller) and a tone generator. I want to create different controls that respond to the keyboard knobs and then send midi messages to the tone generator. This way I would be able to control the tone generator from the keyboard (and keep all the splits that I have in Mainstage).
Up to this point I can create knobs that respond to the keyboard movements; however I don't know how to create the actions so that messages are sent to the tone generator. Are there any resources out there that explain how to do this? Is it even possible?
Thanks!

Thanks, that was genius!
I noticed that this works well for simple requests. However, if you want to send a bunch of parameters through midi (for example changing EQ on one part of a performance being played by the tone generator), how do you do it? I read something about using sysEx librarian but it sounded quite convoluted... Is there a way to write the Midi parameters in a box and making sure is being sent out to the tone generator?

  • Foam sheet between keyboard and screen, Replacement?

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if anybody knows if this has a part number ? and where can
    I get one ?
    I'm wanting to know if I can get a factory replacement of the thin foam sheet
    that is part of the packing materials that goes between the keyboard and screen.
    You know, when your Powerbook was new, when you opened the lid
    for the first time, there was that thin foam sheet over the keyboard, speakers,
    trackpad the whole surface area. I guess it's more like the foam is the size of
    the whole screen area, to protect the screen.
    This may seem silly to want to replace this, but I have a PowerBook that's coming
    up on 3 years old and every time I have closed the lid (screen) I have put the thin
    foam in to protect the screen. So, the screen is perfect after 3 years.
    Much different than my co-workers PowerBooks. They didn't see any
    need for this foam and didn't use it and their screens are etched / scratched from
    the keys, mirror images of the keys scratched into their screens.

    Hi there,
    I'm not sure if Apple assigns part numbers for their packing materials, but you could either visit your local Apple store to see if they happen to have any of these lying around, or you could purchase a screen protector to do the job.
    I used the foam sheet for a few years, but lost it recently, so I went out and bought an iKlear Cleaning kit which included a polish cloth which is the size of the keyboard and trackpad area, and I find it does a fine job of protecting the screen.
    Go to klearscreen.com and have a look.

  • Unrendered Bars and Tone (NTSC) in Generator

    Hello,
    I've had this strange problem for awhile now and cannot find a fix. My NTSC bars and tone generator from the viewer comes up as "Unrendered" in the Viewer and when I print to video, yet the tone is still good. All the other generators are working fine.
    To try and fix this I have reinstalled several times, restarted many times and tried all manner of exporting, etc. Where can I go to correct this? I've searched the forums and internet and gotten no results.
    Any help appreciated.

    "Unrendered" in the Viewer window? Your FCP install is losing it's marbles.
    ... that's always a good indicator that its time to *Trash Your Preferences*

  • Mid 2011 Macbook Air - Yosemite keyboard and trackpad stopped working, the only button that worked was the power button, only one USB port works.

    I have a Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
    Upgraded to Yosemite last week.
    Three days ago I was using my Macbook Air for the first time since upgrading to Yosemite. I had been using my Macbook Air for approximately 30 minutes, I was using safari and the keyboard and trackpad stopped working (would not respond). The only button that worked was the power button.
    I rebooted and they were still not working. I plugged in a USB mouse and external USB keyboard, only one USB port would work (the Left USB port if looking at the screen) so I had to swap between keyboard and mouse.
    After logging in there is a bluetooth icon at the top of the screen with a sawtooth line through it. Bluetooth is unavailable and the bluetooth icon is missing from the system preferences menu.
    If I run a hardware test by holding D (on USB keyboard) at startup it says that no problems are found and at the conclusion of the test the keyboard and trackpad start working again. When I log on the bluetooth is working again.
    I shut down the Macbook Air and when I started it again the keyboard and trackpad and right side USB ports were all not working again. I logged in using the USB keyboard and mouse and the bluetooth not available sawtooth icon had returned.
    I ran the hardware test again and at the conclusion of the test the trackpad and keyboard started working again.
    I have tried deleting com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile from /Library/Preferences/ and tried resetting SMC and Power Functions but this did not fix the issue. The only thing that seems to work is running a hardware test - obviously I don't want to do this every time I use the computer.
    I do not believe any hardware is faulty/damaged - I think it has something to do with bluetooth/Yosemite.
    I do not have the Macbook with me at the moment, if you have suggestions that I can try or additional checks/info you require please let me know and I can get back to you.
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi!
    I have exactly the same problem, and I can't find any solution.
    I can't even track down the root of the problem: the Bluetooth/Wifi module? The trackpad? The keyboard/top case? The logicboard?
    I've tried all the usual: SMC/PRAM reset, clean install, kext cache clearing.
    Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!

    One has an extra "t" on the end. As for how they are interpreted by various software, that depends on the software in question.

  • I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

    i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
    the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread: 
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
    (Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
    his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
    basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage.  in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
     let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to. 
    now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm.  now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller!  it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch.  so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right.  i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
    i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

    Hi Josh,
    Thanks for taking the time to contact us here a Novation for technical support. Lets continue to correspond via email so we can get your issue resolved.

  • I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

    I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

    While not in edit mode:
    - if start typing numbers, then it enters number mode.
    - if start typing text, then it enters text mode.
    Using the arrow keys exits edit mode. So this should work for you:
    1 Type text into a cell, which enters text mode.
    2 Press Return to move to the next cell.
    3 Press right arrow key to exit edit mode.
    4 Press left arrow key to get back to the cell.
    5 Type a number, which enters number mode.
    Another method that requires more planning ahead of time is to format the cells as text or number before starting the data entry. Then when you navigate to a cell while in edit mode, you will be in the appropriate mode (without having to exit edit mode).
    This all works fine for me. Hopefullly it does for you also.

  • No connection between wireless keyboard and IMac

    I had to change batteries in my wireless keyboard for my Imac. After that I did not manage to reestablish the connection between the keyboard and the machine. I did not manage to get the blue tooth going again before I went to bed and the session timed out , my IMac is now locked and since my keyboard does not work I am not able to type the password. How can I solve this?

    Are the batteries installed properly?  Have you tried other batteries?
    Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?----------------------->
    Plan B:  It's a good idea to keep a wired keyboard as a standby.  Suggest that you get hold of one.

  • Is there a way to generate bars and tone in fcpx?

    All the discussion communities I could find seem to tell me how to do it in FCP7.  And when I download versions from the internet, they play incorrectly-soft and warbly.
    Thank you.

    Sure. You should be all set. This is what I sent over:
    The 1 kHz Sine waves folder has three audio files:
    1K mono
    1K stereo
    1K mono (short)
    The tones were generated at -12 dBFS.  You can use the “short” tone to bleep stuff out, if necessary. Remember that you may need to adjust it’s level.
    The Color Bars with Tones folder has two video files:
    178 Bars and Tone. That’s your 1980x1080 HD version. The tone is embedded, and is also 1K @ -12 dBFS
    235 Bars and Tone . That’s your “Cinemascope” version. Resolution is 1920x816, tone embedded, same specs.
    Keep in mind you can re-scale the video files. In other words, if you need 1280x720 (720p), just resize the 1080p movie and you should be good to go.

  • Transferring keyboard shortcuts between Mac and Windows

    I need to migrate users from Mac (CS 5.5) to Windows 7 (CS 6). I have tried to transfer a user's custom keyboard shortcut set by copying the .indk file to the appropriate folder on the PC, and although it shows up in the list, when I try to select the set I get an error saying it is in the wrong format or the file could be damaged. Is there a way of transferring keyboard shortcuts between Mac and Windows?

    Shortcut sets seem to be human-readable text files, so you could try making a copy and doing some editing, changing cmd to ctrl and opt to alt, and change the platform value in the first line to "win" though I can't make any promise it will work.
    There are also some known problems trying to migrate legacy sets into newer versions of ID since CS5, I think.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping upward on the app window (not the smaller icon) off the screen.
    Then reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.
