Midi devices

Hello all! So I'm having some difficulty with my midi... I've tried this with two different midi compatible keyboards and have gotten the same result. One connected with two midi cables to a PreSonus Audiobox input (really old yamaha so just assumed this wouldn't work) and the other is a brand new Casio WK-6500. The casio has a USB connection direct to the computer. Now I've got the midi device configured, I can record, and the notes complete with velocity info etc. are showing up in the piano roll after recording... but the notes won't play out of logic. They get returned right back to the keyboard and play out of the keyboard's speakers. The only thing I could think of to check was the output devices, which seem to me to be correct yet somehow I can't figure out how to get the notes to stay in logic and play in logic. Also I'm on logic 9 for reference. Please help! I'd love to get this working if I can...

If you configured that track as an EXTERNAL MIDI track, that's pretty much normal.
If you configure it as a software instrument, then you will be able to send the MIDI to that plugin, and have the audio coming out of Logic.
One thing I had to wrap my head around when I switched to Logic: ALL MIDI input is summed together, regardless of the source (unless you do some wicked environment hacking).

External MIDI device, can't get more than one sound, Logic Express 9 & Korg N364

Hi, I just beginning to use Logic. I trying to get Logic Express 9 to work with and use my Korg N364 keyboard/workstation as an external MIDI device. I can only get one sound at a time even though I create multiple tracks and assign different programs (or patches) to them.
Each time I do the following: I add a new external MIDI track, change the Channel to new number, put a check in the Program box ( as well as the Volume & Pan), and choose a instrument or patch from the Program drop down menu. What happens, though, it changes the sound to that instrument alright, but ALL THE PREVIOUS EXTERNAL MIDI TRACKS HAVE THE SAME SOUND NOW. I've followed the tutorials I found on the web and it seems like I'm doing everything correct in Logic. I hooked up the MIDI cables, added a new device and connected virtual cables in the MIDI studio window of my Mac OS, and have added the proper Korg multi instrument in the environment window of Logic and "un-slashed" the 16 channels. I get the sounds from the Korg no problem, it's just that I can only assign one sound and no more to the external MIDI tracks. Is there something in my Korg I need to do? Or am I missing something in Logic?

It's not Logic, it's how you have the Korg setup.
I'm not familiar with that model but it is a workstation so I'm pretty sure you can set it to a "Multi" mode.
Right now you are running it in single patch mode.
In single patch mode only one sound is available on a single MIDI channel, your Korg probably has a Multi or Combi mode, this is where multiple sounds can be played, each sound has to have it's own MIDI channel.
You will need to set this up on the Korg first.

When I try to open a project, the only option for a new track is for external MIDI device; when I try to open an audio or software instrument track, I get an error message saying that "the specified number of tracks could not be created. Reduce the number of tracks to create and try again." I didn't specify ANY number of tracks. Thanks for help!

Ah.. then I suspect you just need to go to Logic's prefs/Audio and check CoreAudio...
It has been unchecked somehow...
Also.. as an aside.. Be careful not to create such large subject names in future when posting here.. They can cause issues with replying to posts in such threads.. due to a bug in the forum software.. so please keep them short and to the point...

No more sound to USB midi device Alesis iMultimix8USB

Hello
After playing hours and days without any problems it's no longer possible to communicate with my Alesis midi device iMultimix8USB.
I did all the latest updates. I did on my macbook pro too and it the device is working there fine. So the device is ok and the problem must be with my macbook.
So before the problem I plugged out the USB-cable and the sound switched without any problems to the internal speakers. After plugging in the UBS-cable back the sound stayed on the internal speakers. I have no idea what is wrong now.
In the system profiler it shows under USB the "USB Audio CODEC" entry from my midi device. So that should be OK. But in the system settings "Sound" I cannot find the old entries for the device under "Output". Only the integrated speakers are listed.
So what is missing? Thanks for any advice.

Oh, I remembered some problems while starting with iMultimix8USB some years ago. There I had to install a "special" driver to make it running (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1797831&tstart=0).
Now I followed the instructions to deinstall the Yahama-USB-Driver and now it works again!
I think, the involved kernel rebuilt has somehow brought back the official Apple driver which is working now with the iMultimix8USB. This was not the case some years ago. But anyway it works now.

Generic "usb midi device" in 10.9 / Mavericks

What does Mavericks need to use the product string from the USB descriptor as the name of the MIDI port? I have an assortment of USB Audio Class 2.0 compliant audio + MIDI interfaces. Some behave as they do in Mountain Lion and earlier: If manufacturer Foo makes a product Bar with audio and MIDI interfaces, then the Audio Midi Setup windows will show an audio interface named Bar, and a MIDI port named Bar. If you double-click on the MIDI port, it shows the Model, "Bar," and additional information, including the manufacturer Foo, as retrieved from the USB descriptor. This is expected and desired, especially with devices that unlock features in non-free software.
However, with Mavericks, some devices (staying with the Foo/Bar example), though the audio interface gets named Bar, show up in the MIDI Studio window of AMS as "USB MIDI Device," and double-clicking reveals the manufacturer and model to be "Generic" and "USB MIDI Device," respectively. If you use the drop down menu at the top of this window to switch to a different configuration, or define a new one, while the device is connected, it appears in the second configuration as Bar, with the correct manufacturer.
Now, according to https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2274/_index.html, the Interface Association Descriptor needs to group all the audio descriptors together, they need to be contiguous, and they need to be ordered by Audio Control, then Audio Streaming, then MIDI streaming. The device that isn't coming up correctly meets those criteria, so I wonder what else is missing.

Hi,
I have same issue with my device, but what's strange is that it's correctly detected under Yosemite but not under 10.9.4,
It's always detected as Generic Midi device under 10.9.4
Do you find the reason ?
Thx

All Midi devices Play at same time help in resolving

Environment:
2 presounus Firepods,Oxygen 61, Yamaha DTX Exployer Drum Trigger, Panasonic SX KC-611 Keyboard, Logic Pro 8, Mac Book Pro, Mac OS X10.58.
Question? How to get each midi device to be separate from each other so I can Play and record each device?
I can get any one of the instruments to play fine by themselves one thru the USB Port, and the other two thru the Midi in and out of each fire pod, however when I hook all three to the system to play, them at the same time, each instrument will trigger the other two. Each is on a separate channel.
Help

Thanks for your reply, and my apologies for being unclear:
I have the SWFs loaded into empty movieclips, one for each SWF, which are on each keyframe in the main timeline. The movieclip instances are named but the names aren't referred to in the actionscript. Doubleclicking the instances on each keyframe to go into their scene 1, and on layer 1, I've put the nextFrame() actionscript on the first frame, which is empty.
So to load all of the SWFs into one movieclip, I now have all of the movieclip instances the same one on each keyframe, and the first keyframe has:
loadMovieNum("firstanimation.swf", 1);
followed by on the second:
loadMovieNum("secondanimation.swf", 2);
and so on.
What's happening now is the first and third SWFs are playing at the same time and the second one isn't at all. Is what I'm doing wrong jumping out at you?
Thank you

Recording from a MIDI device

Hello,
Is it possible to record from a MIDI device? I connected my keyboard via an M-Audio USB UNO interface. I used MIDI-OX to confirm that my Windows XP PC was able to input and output a MIDI signal. But I do not see a MIDI input option in Soundbooth's Record dialog box. And when I check audio levels, nothing shows up in the dialog box. I checked my Recording Control dialog box and MIDI/Synth is selected.
Jeff Sengstack

I think you need Adobe Audition. Soundbooth I believe is strictly Audio waveforms capable.

MSI P4M900M2 - MSG : MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device not manage Install

Hi,
I just Re-install my PC to Windows XP and all the drivers had installed. Only have problem with this : MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device unable to install. Any one had come across this issue, please kindly advise.
Thank you very much.
Desmond

Do you got sound at all?
Does the Audio Controller is enabled in BIOS?

Which midi device is better to use in windows (soundblaster X-FI)

there are 3 MIDI devices to select in windows:
1---sint SW wave GS (windows)
2---SB X-FI SYNTH A [E800]
3---SB X-FI SYNTH-B [E800] (default after installed creative drivers)
personally I have selected (sint SW wave GS) because is louder but I'm not sure if is better than the other 2
can anyone explain a bit the difference between these 3 or which one is the most accurate for playing DOS games using DOSBOX
thanks

I don't actually remember where specifically I found that SoundFont. This place seems as good as any, though:
http://www.schristiancollins.com/generaluser.php
Either the FluidSynth or SoundBlaster download options should be suitable. Clearly I'm using the FluidSynth one.
Loading it up has to be done through the MIDI control panel for your X-Fi. It's been a while since I've owned one so I'm no longer 100% certain of any of this, but the program you're after is the one that looks like a small piano keyboard. That should give you the option to set your SoundFont cache (it'll need to be at least as big as the SoundFont you're trying to load), along with selecting which Synth you're trying to set up and finally loading the SoundFont itself. I can't really be more accurate than that, I'm afraid, so there's going to be a little bit of T&E on your part there.
MUNT is a project run alongside DOSBox and SCUMMVM, designed to be a software alternative to a real MT32 or CM32 - neither of which is easily obtained anymore (or easily connected). If you're using a 32-bit OS it can be installed as a stand-alone driver or else you'll need to find a version of the aforementioned programs which support it. SCUMMVM I believe has it as part of the main package, but you'll need to use a version of DOSBox such as Taewoong/Ykhwong's to get MT32 going there.
http://ykhwong.x-y.net/
Note that Roland still owns the licensing for the MT32 and CM32, so you'll need the appropriate ROMs to use it in either SCUMMVM or DOSBox. The only legal way to obtain these is from the physical device, but they are available online (I cannot direct you to them for obvious reasons).
The likely issue with Gabriel Knight is that it's MT32, not General MIDI. Most of the games which run through SCUMMVM are, as are a lot of old Sierra games (Jones in the Fast Lane, Quest for Glory 1 and 2, etc) and a few other earlier ones (Indianapolis 500, Hero Quest, Gods, MechWarrior, Death Track, Fire & Ice, etc). This means all the instruments will be out of order if you try to play them through General MIDI (Jones sounds like a Celeste and a Piano, for example). Some people have tried making SoundFonts to mimic MT32 but, frankly, I haven't found any that even come close to sounding right.
Do note also that you'll likely need to manually configure almost all of the MT32 games to actually run in MT32 mode, as well as DOSBox itself. Some will be easier than others in that they'll have a configuration program, but others are a little more old school. Batch files can be a real lifesaver here, such as what I use to run Indy 500 (comments after the semicolon are added for description and don't actually feature in my file):
@ECHO OFF ; Stops what's being run from being shown on the commandline. Optional.
mididevice MT32 ; Sets DOSBox to MT32 mode.
INDY.EXE /R ; Actually runs the game. /R is required for Roland mode, as opposed to /A for Ad-Lib.
mididevice Win32 ; Sets DOSBox back to General MIDI mode.

MIDI Device in Garageband Not Working? No Results!

So I've been REAALLLY wanting to buy an electric drumset, and record drums using that. The only way I could do so, is by getting one with a MIDI output and triggering the signals using my favorite kit on Toontrack's Superior Drummer.
Welp, guess who finally bought one!
Awesome, now I have problems....
So this drumset is plugged into my MacBook pro via USB cable. This IS a USB MIDI output. I'm in Garageband, and I turn on my e-set. Garageband welcomes it with a "1 MIDI Device input detected". Great! Then what? Nothing. No sound, no feedback, nothing. Garageband detects my device, but nothing else. It does not detect a single hit or stroke. The flashing blue LED on the bottom of GB (that usually goes on when a MIDI device is in use) is not flashing either. It plays nothing.
I tried going into my Mac's Audio MIDI Device Setup application, and it detects my instrument! But no results. No sound. Nothing. And it's ******* me the **** off. When I go into "Test My Device", nothing happens when I use the kit. What the **** is going on?
It's a Simmons SD5X Electric Set.
Need all the help I can get here folks.

This has already been discussed here numerous times. You should do a search on the forum and read the Logic for Garage Band Users pdf. When you open a midi file in Logic, the tracks are not assigned to virtual instruments like in GB, they're only midi tracks. If you want to hear sounds, you have assign them to an external sound module, to the QuickTime synth available in Logic or you have to create audio instruments tracks and move you midi data to those.

Scanning for a newly plugged in MIDI device

Hi all,
I'm currently using javax.sound.midi in my project and I have to implement a feature where the program detects if the user plugs in a new midi device during runtime.
This is a bit of a problem as mentioned here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3752352/java-sound-api-scanning-for-midi-devices
Basically javax.sound caches the providers list for a minute, and I did what was suggested in the thread to set the caching period to 1 second. Unfortunately, this did not work for me (I'm running on Mac OSX). I can see that the providers list are new objects but it still doesn't detect the new plugged in device. However, it does work on the PC. So my question is, does anyone have any suggestions on how to getting this working on all platforms?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Monitoring 2 External Midi devices at playback

Hi, I'm a "Newbie," I have a MAC G5, Logic Express 7.1, a MOTU 828
(first generation) and 2 external midi devices (Triton Extr, and a Roland JV 880) I
can only monitor one of the devices at a time at playback - wichever channel
I have chosen in the MOTU preferences.
I know it was a challenge to set up Cubase to monitor both at the same time.
Is it possible in Logic Express?
Thanks for any help that might be had out there!
Borgy

Couple of things I don't understand about your question.
Are you running Vienna Ensemble on a separate computer? If not, why not use it as an AU plugin? If you have it installed on the same computer as Logic there would be no need to treat it as an external instrument. If you are running it on a separate machine double check the audio and MIDI hardware connections, drivers for both interfaces, Apple Audio/Midi Utility settings, environment, and finally the settings on your ext instrument (in the track.)
You mention being unable to hear VE when bouncing, but then you also mention that there is no signal from those tracks showing on the master fader. Is this specifically a problem when bouncing, or are you basically unable to hear and see signal from your VE tracks while recording, playing, mixing?
If VE runs smoothly from another computer (presumably to ease the burden on your main cpu) and you are able to hear it and see it at the master outputs just as you expect, and you ONLY have a problem when bouncing, then your solution is simple. Make sure that you bounce in "realtime" mode when including external instruments or fx. "Offline" mode will not include them.
Sorry if I'm covering stuff you know and have already tried; hopefully some portion of this info will help you.

Delete a Midi device controller - Logic Pro X

Hello,
I got problems with Midi device controller. I've installed (manually) the driver of the Axiom 49 (2nd Gen) which is not working well. I decided so to change with the Impulse 49 by Novation. The problems I got is that I cannot delete the Axiom 49 device from the ; Logic Pro X > Controller device > settings >Delete.... nothing happens. furthermore at each start of Logic, I got a warning that the device is not connected.
I tried to reset all settings Midi drivers in the preferences of Logic Pro X but even with no success.
Thank you in advance to give me a way to get rid of this problem.
Regards,
Thomas

Feet1st.....
Typically you should do your research before you start throwing subs
Ummmm... maybe you should take your own advice?
I've seen this happen several times and in every case it relates to a specific driver installed and how it was installed..
It doesn't happen with other drivers.... which leads one to realize its probably not specifically a LP issue as such but more likely related to the specific driver itself....or a file/folder/User permissions issue..
Example.. I just went and deleted all my surfaces (various different HUI/Motu/Korg devices via the CSS GUI and each one deleted without issue.... and remained deleted...
Then I installed a Novation Impulse driver... tried to delete it and it didn't correctly delete.... I also re-installed a Logic Remote and Transport drivers and they all continue to delete as normal...
Again, this only happens with certain drivers and not all... so my suspicions are its more likely driver specific related (maybe permissions related too) than LP related though of course there is a possibility it is both.....
I'll post up screenshots in the following post....

Setting Up a Midi Device

I got an Akai Mpd24, Just need to set it up into Soundtrack, anyone know the basics of setting up a midi device?
Like setting it up, setting sounds to it, recording me playing the midi device etc. ANY little bit of help is much appreciated thanks.

You can't. Logic or Garageband can.

USB midi device not showin up/installing

hello.
thanks in advance for anyone that can help me out here.
after many late nights trying to install the nana pad2 on my imac and failing...i've run out of ideas.
imac 27" OSX 10.7.5
2.8 core i5
12G ram.
i have the latest drivers (got them last night...again)
installed and re installed and manually deleted them and tried reinstalling several times.
no matter what i do the korg will not show up in
'UTILITIES' > Audio MIDI setup. nothing shows up in there other then my presonus audio interface.
i go into studio one and with the nano plugged in (via new usb cable) i can get midi "info" data to show up in the
'MIDI monitor' when hitting the pads...but no instruments are able to be triggered by the pad.
i've followed the install instruction for adding devices in studio one. but the main issue here is its not showing up at all in my imac "utilities".
i see some on the forums have got it working...but dont actually show or say how.
anyone out there conquered this??
thanks.

this is what i was looking for.
if anyone else has this issue:

Leopard's Audio Midi Configuration doesn't detect my Korg microKontrol, Novation Remote Zero SL and my Evolution MK-249C2 MIDI keyboard. Firewire MIDI device is detected (RME fireface 800).
Using the "latest" drivers - Novation Automap Universal 2.0.1178 driver, microKontrol 1.0.7 driver, Evolution keyboard doesn't need a driver.
installed Leopard yesterday, but I think I'll switch back to Tiger...

USB Hub was faulty!
