How do I set up multiple midi-input devices:WX5 wind & keyboard controllers

Hello,
I'm trying to setup my system to utilize two midi input devices.
1. Novation Controller Keyboard connected through USB
2. WX5 wind controller connected via VL-70 tone module with midi out cable to channel 1 of my Motu midi interface.
As it is currently setup I am able to play both my Wind Controller and MIDI Keyboards fine, but for some reason whenever I finish playing the Wind Controller, the MIDI Keyboard no longer plays sound (it plays midi fine according to the transport, but no sound is created until I load another patch of the EXS).
What am I doing wrong? Should I be switching between inputs in Logic somehow? How can I setup my system to be able to jump back and forth between my midi keyboard and wind controllers? I have done no setup besides cabling the devices in the AudioMidi setup (outside of Logic).
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

This is just a guess, but if the last thing your wind controller puts out is a volume message of zero (as I think it would do as you stop playing the last note) then you would need to send a volume message to the sound module to reset it to the desired volume.

How do I set up an external MIDI input on the new MacBook Pro? Mine won't read it.

I've been trying to set up my TASCAM US-600 on my new MacBook. I've never used a Mac before so I'm not sure what's wrong. I tried installing the drivers and when I plugged in the interface, it wouldn't read the device. I now have the interface plugged in through a USB hub. The Mac now reads TASCAM software but when I go to the system preferences, the Mac won't read the MIDI input. So all in all it's been a big pain in the ***. Are there any Mac experts that may know what the problem is or how to help? Thanks!

are you sure its mini display port? MDP and thunderbolt are the same port.
for referenece, this is mini DVI (obsolete)

MIDI Inputs on AUDIGY 2 ZS Platinum Pro in Vi

Ever since the Vista install, I have no MIDI on this card. I have cleaned all drivers and reinstalled several times. Still, no MIDI. Can anyone please help?
Larry

I don't understand. First of all, the MIDI inputs work with the XP drivers (but the sound card doesn't), so I know the hardware is able to be seen by the software. I understand that MS removed MIDI support from the OS, but shouldn't the drivers recognize the ports on the card and use them? I also believe that the MIDI ports worked under Vista when I first did the upgrade. They only stopped working when I upgraded the mother board and CPU in the PC. So what gives?Larry

How do I select a midi input device and record midi?

I have several midi input devices connected to my computer. I use them regularly with Digital Performer. I am trying to record a single midi track in Garage Band using an Oxygen 8 keyboard. In the preferences GB says that it sees 7 midi devices. How do I route midi with Garage Band and how do I tell Garage band which midi device to record from? When I create a midi track (well...I think that it is a midi track) and I try to record I do not see any midi notes being recorded.
Searching the help file for midi provided surprisingly little information. I am sure that this is simple stuff...perhaps so simple that I am missing something obvious.

Yes, if the controller sends the right MIDI messages
What do you mean by "the right midi messages"?
I have a virtual instrument (with for example) a delay effect knob. I would like to turn a knob on my midi controller and adjust the delay in the virtual instrument (as I can in just about any other sequencer). Can GarageBand do this, if so, how?

Selecting one of multiple midi inputs in Garageband

Hi,
I've connected an M-Audio Midisport 4X4 to my powerbook G4 and am trying to control the synths in Reason Adapted at the same time as a synth in Garageband, in order to play them together.
Does anyone know how to select the midi input in Garageband? At the moment it only acknowledges that there are 4 inputs and all controllers set off the synths...Reason is fine, you can select which midi input you want...I have Garageband 2...does version 3 have this option or have I overlooked something in 2?
Thanks for your help,
Alex Taylor

Can you use specific Core MIDI inputs in LE7?

In various other MIDI applications on OS X, you can see a list of the current Core MIDI inputs and outputs, usually for the purpose of telling the application which input(s) and output(s) to use. For instance you might want to use something like MidiPipe to modify MIDI messages in the chain before a software instrument like DrumKitFromHell or VSamp. To do this you can set MidiPipe to use the input from the MIDI controller and then set, say, VSamp to use the output from MidiPipe as its input.
Is there any way to do this with LE7? I want the MIDI path to be:
1. My MIDI controller
2. MidiPipe
3. LE7
There seems to be no way in LE7 for me to say: Use MidiPipe as the MIDI input. LE7 just seems to take over the physical MIDI input, bypassing Core MIDI altogether.
Does anyone know any way to tell LE7 to use a specific Core MIDI input?
Thanks!

If it supports the Makie protocol, it might work... but I wouldn't purchase one on that basis without trying it first.

Midi input is not working (..correctly)

Midi input is shown, and all is working.
But.. after some hits on my midi drums (guitar hero drumkit with wireless usb adapter and miditar hero software running)
the sound in garage band stops until i choose another instrument . Input light is still flashing when i hit the drums .
when i choose another instrument (sound) then it works , but not for long ... i always have to choose another instrument to keep it running.
What can i do?
When i play the sound with the keyboard of the macbook , the sound wont stop.

external hardware - USB - Wireless - Adapter - external software.
You have pretty much everything in your setup that could go wrong.
My guess that in any of the components before GarageBand something goes wrong, looses the connection/transission.
I would use a replace GarageBand in the setup with MIDI Monitor, to "see: how the MIDI signallooks like from your source. MIDI Monitor is a little utility (or use any other utlitlity) that displays MIDI messages. There you could see if your source is stopping the MIDI signal. If that is the case, then GarageBand is of the hook.
Hope that helps

Multiple MIDI Inputs Yet???

Can anyone tell me if LP8 offers multiple MIDI inputs? I use the step sequencer from my Elektron Monomachine for pattern creation and would like to be able to assign the external tracks from it to instrument tracks hosting either native or 3rd party plug-ins. Untill I can assign MIDI to Logic Instruments and third party AU Instruments from multiple channels, I am forced to use another app (Ableton Live at present) for song creation and only use logic for post production of said track. Would much rather keep it all in one app from creation to stage performance!!!

I have found an answer to my problem. In the following link I found this post that allowed me to play multiple instruments from an external step sequencer. I have been trying to figure this one out for ever and just kept giving up with the environment. Now I can finally use logic the way I always wanted to!!!
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1078171&tstart=30
Here is the post...replace "MIDI Keyboard" with "Sequencer Track" and you can see how this worked for me...
This method assumes that One MIDI Keyboard is sending on MIDI channel 1 and the other is sending on MIDI channel 2.
In the Environment, go to the "Clicks and Ports" Layer. My MIDI "signal" path is:
Physical Input-->Input Note (a keyboard)-->Input View (Monitor Object)-->
"to Recording and Thru"
(See p. 207 of the LPReference for more on the "The MIDI Signal Path")
What I would suggest is this:
Create a "Channel Splitter" object from the "New" menu. Then cable the MIDI output of the Input Note (the Keyboard object) to the Channel Splitter. This is a second MIDI output cable from the Keyboard, make sure the keyboard object remains connected to the Input View (monitor object).
Now create two "Alias" objects. In the Alias' Parameters box, set the "Reference" box to the Audio Instrument you want to hear when you play the MIDI channel 1 keyboard. (There are other ways to do this without alias objects as well.)
Now cable the MIDI channel 1 output of the Channel Splitter (second from the top) to the Alias of Audio Instrument (the one to be heard when playing the Keyboard on MIDI channel 1).
Create a second Alias, set its Reference to the second Audio Instrument and cable the Channel Splitter's MIDI channel 2 output to the Alias.
Now go the Arrange. Create a new track and Assign its output (click-hold on the name of the track) and select the "Input Notes" object (mine was under the "Clicks and Ports" submenu). Now when you've got the Input Notes track selected in the Arrange, the MIDI notes will be sent to the Audio Instruments based on MIDI Channel. You can record the notes on the Input Notes track. Later, you can "Demix" the notes and put the Demixed regions onto the tracks of the appropriate Audio Instrument.
End Post
For now I am using only one port on my AMT8 for input, the next step will be to try multiple port / multiple sequencer input scheme and see how that setup works...
Hope this is helpful to someone

Problem using Midi input

Hello,
I'm using java.sound to get MIDI messages from a "physical" midi input.
I get a rather strange behaviour, since some time, the "Midi input" get stuck, and I don't get message from the input.
To be clearer: everything works as intended : I open the device, I get incoming messages... and sometimes, the incoming messages are "lost". If I try to close the corresponding MIDI device, my program freeze... No exception are raised, my program is not CPU consumming, and I'm not able to determine the conditions that leads to this behaviour.
I'm using the last JRE under windows (XP).
I tried the MidiInDump example from jsressource, and I get a similar behaviour.
My problem now is that I don't know what to do to find out the problem. Is there a way to diagnose this kind of problem?
The MIDI interface I use is a "generic" one, that is, it used the standard MIDI driver from windows (no proprietary driver installed)...
Is there a way to size the incoming MIDI buffer?
Any clue?
Any suggestion to track the problem would be grealty appreciated.

Holly,
Have you opened the Audio MIDI Setup app on your mac? It's found in your Launchpad app (on your doc) and Other folder it should be in there. Make sure your MIDI keyboard is recognized and configured for the mac. Also look at your MIDI settings within Logic as well.

Problem with midi input in Mainstage

Hi all,
I have a keyboard connected to my mac via USB midi interface.
When I'm trying to play midi instruments in Garage Band - it works very well, no significant latency and no other problems.
But in Mainstage the situation with the midi input is different. When I press a key on my keyboard, it plays the sound, then stops responding to other midi commands for about 2-3 seconds. And then after I press another key, it plays it, and stops responding again.
The "CPU" and "Memory" indicators at the top show a low load.
All in all, it's just impossible to play a midi instrument in Mainstage.
As the midi interface is working correctly in GarageBand and doesn't work well in Mainstage, I suspect that it's a Mainstage's software problem. But I haven't found anything like that on the Internet. Any ideas?
Devices: Macbook Pro 13" (2011), M-Audio MidiSport Uno...
Thanks!

I can input Chinese in Firefox, but there are
problems with the display of characters in input
fields for searches, etc.
Can you provide a specific example of a particular search box (url) and exactly what the "problem" is (TC or SC, characters involved, etc)? I would like to try and duplicate it. Perhaps the encoding in View > Text Encoding needs to be adjusted for that page for some reason (though normally that should affect all browsers).
Since Apple has nothing to do with FireFox, you might want to report the issue to the people responsible for that program (mozilla.org I think), since it may be a bug they can fix.

Is is possible to truly disable a midi input device in Logic 9?

If I remove all midi input devices from the Environment Window including the Physical Input object, midi tracks will no longer respond to external midi controller information (as it should be). However, if I open the Controller Assignment window and click the Learn button, Logic still reads data from all midi devices currently recognized by OSX. Aside from completely removing midi devices at the operating system level, is there a way to configure Logic to completely disregard midi information from a specific midi device as you can do in other DAWs such as Ableton Live...or is this simply a bug?
I am using the latest cut of Logic 9 with OSX Lion.

there is no such option- unfortunately. but you can trick logic by plugging a cable from the correlating port of the input object to eg a monitor object and just leave it there.
this way all midi arriving from that particular port will be sent into nirvana (midi to nirvana interface )

Why are drum pads not a valid MIDI input the screen controls pallet?

I'm slowly getting around to creating a Concert that represents my controller setup and realized that the drum pads have a different behavior.
When setting up my Korg nanoPAD as a drum sample controller, I have to map it to a keyboard and not a 2x6 drum pad group. If I do not assign it to a keyboard, I cannot associate it with a channel strip playing back an EXS drum kit. They keyboard drop down in the MIDI input properties for a channel strip will not list the nanoPAD as an input even though I have already associated the pads with their virtual counterparts in the Layout tab.
I can manually assign each pad to a MIDI note, but that sends the note event to all channel strips and I have no control over that.
What gives??
It looks really lame to have another keyboard widget in my concert layout when all want is a representation of the 12 pads on the nanoPAD.

In edit mode, you should be able to create mappings that effectively transform your incoming drum pad note into another note on a specific channel strip. You can create multiple mappings per drum pad in order to trigger different sounds on different notes per channel strip.
If you don't want a keyboard you can also use the "MIDI activity" object, it acts like a keyboard but takes up less space and doesn't display layers. It also glows to let you know that MIDI activity is coming in. Since all of the routing happens through screen objects, you need some sort of object there to do the routing -- either the MIDI activity object or the keyboard. The drum pads let you have additional flexibility since they allow you to make mappings (including changing patches, etc.), but the routing still needs to happen through one of the two routing objects unless you want to make each drum pad directly as I explained above.

Lost midi input button on score and matrix windows

Hello --
Here is a weird one. Does anhyone know how you can loose the midi input button for step input on the score window in screen set 1 but have it on screen set 2 and others. In screen set 1 I had the arrange window openned with matrix, score, events and keyboard input.
I dumped the autoload and create new windows and it seems to work now but how could something like that happen? I searched for some setting that might affect buttons but did not find one.
Mostely curious if something like this has happend to others.
Thanks,

can't say i have run across that scenario.

I just upgraded to GB'11, running OSX 10.6.8. Have an eKeys 49. OSX confirms keyboard as midi input, volume slider registers in GB but no key strikes show, thus no functionality of program for me. Please advise.

Volume slider is recognized by GB and nothing else. I have software instrument selected, not muted nor any other track solo. Midi input is recognised, but no keystrokes are heard as notes, nor are they noted as being played while recording. The keyboard and garageband used to work just fine. Please advise.

Also when I run garage band it thinks my USB wifi device is midi AND everytime I plug in my iPhone, it kills the USB internet connection.
