MIDI support

Last week I purchased a MIDI controller and downloaded a plugin which allows a midi controller to control Lightroom https://sites.google.com/site/dorfl68/
I tried it and loved it! After a while it seemed so obvious, that I was thinking "why didn't Adobe think of it".
However, mappings of all the sliders have changed for LR4 RC2 for some reason, and this plugin doesn't work properly. When I touch Exposure on my midi controller, it actually moves vibrance. Now this isn't Adobe's problem per se, but I since this plugin seems so vital to me (I process large amounts of photos and any speed up in my workflow is a huge plus) I wish Adobe would keep the mappings as they were in LR 4.0 which works fine with Paddy. So I really wish the final 4.1 will again work with this plug in.
Even better, please add a Midi support of your own and possibility to map all the keys, knobs and controllers as a user wishes!

Well, MIDI data is just data, so yes you could work with MIDI
data, but getting that data into Flash is still the sticky
problem.

  • For 'Reason' if you get the message "Failed to Open MIDI Support Library"

    I tried to open Reason 3.0.5 with an MBox 2 on my new MacBook Pro (Leopard) and I got this message: 'Failed to Open MIDI Support Library.' When I went to my 'Audio-MIDI' setup on my Mac, nothing loaded properly...
    I found the solution to this problem after looking around online, and figured other people might be having the same problem, so here it is...
    First, create a new folder on your computer desktop and call it "Old MIDI Drivers" (or something similar), then go to Macintosh HD>library>audio>midi drivers, and move all the drivers (that you don't plan on using) from that folder into your "Old MIDI Driver" folder on your desktop. For example, I moved all the drivers out except for my MBox 2 driver.
    After you do this, you may have to restart your comp. (I didn't) and Reason should run.
    Hope this helps...

    (No biggie, but if you mark your own post as 'Answered' then people searching for answered posts will be able to find it more easily…)

  • "Failed to open midi support library". What is missing? And if so, how do I get it back? What to do?

    I own a new Macbook pro 15" quadcore with OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4
    When trying to start software Reason 7 I only get the message "Failed to open midi support library".
    What is missing? And if so, how do I get it back? Reinstalling Mountain Lion did not solve anything.
    What may I do? Is there separate MIDI-drivers or else that Macbook needs to be running audio at all?
    My audiocard Apogee Duet 2 is´nt working well either and I cannot even open the MIDI-window in Mac,
    so that road is blocked. I´ve seen more ppl having problem but found no explaination.
    Some say to remove midi-drivers but that folder is empty (or hidden?) when opening.
    Also, Garage Band cannot open. It´s no problem with graphic apps, only with audio/midi.
    My 2011 Macbook pro13" with OS X Lion runs like a charm. So how can this be? It really puzzles my mind.
    Have thoughts on having OS X Lion on the new Mac as well but will not do it until I know where the real problem is.
    Hope there is an easy fix to it. Thanks in advance.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • Can't load 3.0 project? No midi support? Can't burn CD? bummer ...

    I have used this product and every upgrade since CoolEdit (before Pro). I would consider myself one of the faithful.
    I don't want to downplay the significant enhancements to Audition. Increased performance of the product (speed and reliablilty) was/is a prime desire for me. I have awaited this product release for years. When ProTools (no hardware specific version) came out (I use 3 Presonus Firepods for multitrack recording and input Alesis HD24 projects for Live recording), I considered switching, but held off because this release was promised.
    I don't want to spit sour grapes. There are some significant enhancements in this release. All the performance stuff "would" make me very happy. I have a 8 processor CPU and 12 GB of memory, and want it used. Watching 5.5 immediately come up after clicking the shortcut without hesititation was gratifying by itself.
    But ...
    1. I anxiously awaited an update to AA3 anticipating midi support, finally. I've very dissappoited it is not developed into this release.
    2. Lack of ability to open my 3.0 projects with 5.5 is a HUGE turnoff and frustration for me. I can't imagine why Adove would consider it optional that the software open projects people have or are currently working on.
    3. No longer burning an audio CD from my project is also a huge disappointment. I almost NEVER use anything else to burn my audio other than AA3.
    4. Pitch Correction is gone? Don't use it a lot, but when I need it, I NEED it!
    5. All the Scientific Analysis tools not all there? This is a HUGE loss. This was one thing that put AA above everybody else. You neglected a huge asset here.
    I applaud the huge effort to bring a much-needed update of AA to the market ... it has long been coming. I am a software/db developer and have an appreciate for tremendous effort involved here. But, as a user, I am moderately to severely impacted by the shortcomings listed above. I am afraid what else I might discover. Right now, I am glad AA3 is sitll running on my PC.
    Thank you for your hard work. And I bought it. But, my workflow will be severely crippled until you correct these issues in a future release.

    The performance fixes is a biggy for me, though the other missing
    stuff I use makes me have to use both versions for various things:
    "but they seem to be committed to another release/version."
    Well ... now that's the rub. I would actually welcome this intermediate version to play with (even with the cost of upgrading) if I could rely on it to be finalized into 6.0, full featured, without it taking as long as it has to Upgrade from AA3.0. I would say it was a VERY smart move to give us a preview of 6.0, if I felt in, say, six months they would provide us the fully functional update. But, HOW many years has it been. I felt screwed over while they played around with Sound Booth.
    I was with you for a minute in most of what you said, until your credibility went down a couple notches with me on the statement trivializing midi functionality. I though that was a very clueless statement:
    "but I have no need for a midi controller and if I want a drummer to keep perfect time I'll get a drum machine."
    It does make some of your other statements suspect, tho I won't take it as far as therealdobro's "what's your stake" question.

  • Please get midi (.mid) support back in to Quicktime 10. It's a must have for music artists.

    The possibility of playing midi (.mid) files is possible when you install an older quicktime version 7.6.6. but thats not handy at all.
    Why is it ditched in quicktime higher than that?  Please apple bring the functionality back!!

    Go to  http://apple.com/feedback  and complain and keep complaining.  Apple discontinued midi support in Mountain Lion.  They don't listen to the forums, they do listen to feedback.  Keep at them until they fix it.

  • Midi support on Nokia 5000

    Hi all!
    I have a collection of midi files from which I like to pick my ringtones. However many of these files will not play (apparently mostly the ones larger than 20KB in filesize). Can anybody tell me what restrictions apply when playing Midi on the Nokia 5000? Or is there a way to make these files playable?
    Cheers,
     Edmund

    Hi,
    I think that there is no Messaging support for Nokia 6155. (Maybe you should get contact to Nokia and ask them to add it..)

  • What has happened to audio/midi support in the Quicktime plugin?

    I have a six-month old iMac running Mavericks (10.9.3) with Safari 7.0.4. I use midi a lot when I'm trying to learn a new piece of music, which is often. I don't want to have to download a midi file into another app just to audition the file.
    Why has the support for audio/midi been removed? (again)
    What can I do about it without spending money? (again)
    I seem to be in a cycle where over a period of years, additional software is needed for some time and then the feature reappears with an update to either the system or Safari, only to again be deleted. Is it just me?
    The outrageous thing is the cost of the Quicktime Pro which in Australia costs AU$37.99 which is more than the cost of the entire Mavericks or Mountain Lion operating systems. I'm sure I've bought this before, but junked it because the feature reappeared, and now it's gone again. I don't want to have to buy it again, particularly not at this price.

    Apple has ended support for MIDI in browser playback but they can still be played with QuickTime Player 7 once you download the file to your machine.
    QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later
    The free version is all you need and MIDI files are tiny and quick to download.

  • Why did Apple take MIDI support out of QuickTime 10?

    MIDI may not be a prevalent standard, but there's still quite a lot of music written in it.  Why would Apple drop it?  It seems like a giant departure away from Apple's usual philosophy of "everything just works." If I wanted to use an OS where I had to download an entire application every time I needed a new CODEC, I'd still be using Windows!  This was just a bad idea.

    Understood, but that seems kludgy and seems to fly in the face of the entire Apple "simplify" philosophy.  There's no reason for Apple to drop a standard that encompasses billions of existing files.  The whole point of MacOS and iOS is that they just work.

  • IAC MIDI Support Please!

    I am using Logic 9.1.1.
    But even b4 the upgrade, I've had nothing but problems with setting up the IAC midi to use with standalone plug-ins.
    I've tried everything, looked at every forum & watched every video.
    Followed each tutorial step by step and still...for some reason...whether it's an Arturia keyboard, the UVI workstation or ANY other standalone...it glitches!
    Some sort of minimal contact is being made between the host and the plug-in but after the first touch, it clicks, pops, freezes then after a couple seconds goes back to normal. Sometimes a sound will come out and freeze on that note & sometimes it doesn't.
    What the **** am i doing wrong??? Please tell me!

    Thanx chorleyman! Unlike others, your response was simple & respectful...appreciate that.
    Love SFLogicNinja! He's helped a lot of people. I have actually watched that video a million times but he left out some information that I just found on the web after weeks of searching.
    The guy from this forum (rimskykorsakov) gave very detailed instructions on how to make IAC work with a standalone....check it out:

  • 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

  • Music via MIDI ... anyone?

    I've created a number of MIDI projects in Java. These are fun
    music education games that kids really like to play. I want to
    rewrite them in Flash or Flex (obviously because Java’s Swing
    interface is pretty bland, and because Flash, Flex and ActionScript
    are so adept at creating elegant interfaces.)
    Unfortunately there are no MIDI methods in ActionScript!
    I’ve got some new Flex projects that would benefit from
    MIDI too, particularly this one:

    What people are saying here about MIDI and ActionScript is
    profound:
    https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-123
    If you have ANY desire to see MIDI support in
    ActionScript/Flash/Flex
    please voice your opinion in the discussion at the link
    above.
    As expressed by James Plamondon, MIDI itself may be a key
    element in cementing Flash Player's dominant role in the pending
    RIA 'format war.' And I believe he is correct. Indeed MIDI will
    benefit those who want to efficiently embed sound tracks and
    interactive sound, but it's impact will goes far beyond that!
    Here's what James Plamondon had to say
    I was *shocked* to discover that MIDI was not already
    supported in Flex/Flash/AIR as of Feb 2009. It is such a natural
    fit with Flash's low-bandwidth, high-interactivity objectives. I'm
    developing music education courseware, targeting AIR, and it had
    not occurred to me that Flex/Flash/AIR would NOT support MIDI.
    Although products such as Chirp (
    http://www.tanageraudioworks.com/Products/Chirp)
    demonstrate that it is possible to work around this deficiency, it
    is the purpose of a platform such as AIR to provide a single
    standard alternative to such work-arounds.
    I understand that Adobe must prioritize its efforts, and get
    the most bang for its limited number of
    programmer/tester/documenter hours.
    Please allow me to place this in strategic terms. In the RIA
    standards battle, either Adobe's AIR or Microsoft's Silverlight
    will eventually emerge with nearly 100% market share, condemning
    the other to a slow-growing niche. Adobe's primary advantage in
    this battle is the high degree of interactivity it gets from the
    tiny footprint of its Flash Player and SWF files. As has been
    emphasized above, MIDI plays to this strength. It fits beautifully
    with Adobe's overall strategy. (It would fit even better if Adobe
    were to acquire a sound and music creation tool firm, to flesh out
    the audio side of its "creative suite," but that's a whole
    different conversation.) Silverlight is weak in this area, and --
    given Microsoft's historic and current weakness in music and audio
    -- this weakness is very unlikely to be addressed any time soon.
    Therefore, by supporting MIDI in Flash/Flex/AIR, Adobe can
    pit its strength against Microsoft's weakness, which is the essence
    of strategy.
    For whatever that's worth.
    James Plamondon
    (formerly Microsoft's leading strategist in technology
    evangelism, according to documents filed in the public record of a
    number of anti-trust cases)
    Eloquently expressed James!
    Your vote for for MIDI is a vote for the health and longevity
    of Flash Player, and Adobe may fail to implement MIDI unless it
    hears some significant clamoring. "Yes we can!"
    The lack of MIDI support in Flash's "audio toolbox" is
    tantamount to Flash offering graphics support without vectors.
    Music and audio are so incredible important to multimedia
    presentations! The company that best implements MIDI in RIAs will
    likely reign. Music and audio saved Apple's butt a number of years
    ago; they'll surely make a huge difference for Adobe today and in
    the future.
    You may not need MIDI for music education RIAs, or for
    interactive projects that would benefit from a wide a palette of
    sound without the overhead assoicated with MP3 audio ... but
    imagine adding a 4 minute soundtrack to your animation for a mere
    16K, presently, at Flash's highest MP3 compression, that would cost
    you about 4MB!

  • ActionScript 3.0 -- Sending MIDI messages

    I'm looking for ActionScript 3.0 methods that allow me to
    send NoteOn MIDI messages and MIDI continuous controller streams
    such as pitch bend.
    Last time I checked Flash had very limited MIDI control -- it
    could only play whole MIDI files! Does ActionScript 3.0 have offer
    more specific control?
    Anybody in the know?
    MIDI is the most efficient and flexible music delivery tool.
    It’s VERY powerful asset that Flash would be wise to support.
    When Flash/ActionScript supports MIDI, you’ll see what I
    mean. To date Flash has grossly underutilized the MIDI protocol.

    John Blasquez
    I believe this is an important point, so I'll try saying it a
    different way.
    MIDI is to digital audio as vectors are to digital artwork.
    It's great that Adobe leverages the efficiency of vector
    graphic into Flash. Imagine if animators could only use pixel base
    artwork in Flash... files would be huge, and flexibility and
    editability dramatically reduced.
    The lack of MIDI support in Flash’s "audio toolbox" is
    tantamount to Flash without vectors.
    I strongly encourage Adobe to expand ActionScripter by adding
    extended MIDI support. PLEASE give ActionScripters methods for
    sending MIDI messages, such as NoteOn MIDI and continuous
    controller streams such as pitch bend. And give us tools for
    accessing an array of available MIDI synthesizers. Ideally Flash
    Player and Flash Player plug-ins will host a flexible synthesizer,
    but in the meantime, allow us to access the synths in QuickTime
    player, QuickTime plug-in, WMP or Java.

  • Does M-Audio NRV10 support Logic? Tascam FW1082 better?

    Bear with me I'm a beginner...
    I bought the M-Audio NRV10 analog/Firewire mixer, but Logic has no dedicated control surface support for this hardware. Why is this? Will it come in Logic 8? And is there any workaround? (I'm not interested in MIDI, just audio).
    Like most Firewire devices, I can route Logic channel outputs to any fader on my M-Audio, and I can assign inputs into my mixer to any channel in Logic.
    BUT I'd like to be able to control track automation data such as volume, pan, etc with the mixer.
    Also, what advantages would the Tascam FW1082 give me over the M-Audio? It appears to have motorised faders, proper support in Logic etc.
    I'm very much a beginner, so any thoughts about these 2 devices would be appreciated.

    As a follow-up to clarify my question... is it simply the case that the M-Audio NRV10 is not a control surface at all and just a Firewire audio mixer? Whereas the Tascam is both? And therefore I will not be able to control track automation data? And is MIDI support the key to controlling track automation data?

  • Message: MIDI server can't be opened

    Helo all,
    I just got my new iMac yesterday. Today while loading Reason I keep getting the message; STOP failed to open MIDI support library.
    I tried to access the Audio MIDI setup and the following message appears:
    Audio MIDI Setup couldn’t open the MIDI Server so you can’t view or edit your MIDI configurations.
    If you recently installed a new MIDI driver, try uninstalling it and then open Audio MIDI Setup again. If Audio MIDI Setup works correctly after that, contact the driver’s manufacturer for further support.
    Any suggestions?

  • Midi in Safari gone after Mountain Lion update

    I have a site that relies on midi files being played in the browser. Right up until before I upgraded to Mountain Lion I was able to play files with the .mid extension, now they just download instead or if embedded give me the 'missing plugin' message.
    I have checked my installed plugins and I have quicktime 7.7.1 which doesn't list .mid as a supported extension anymore.
    I can play .mid files through the QT 7 player which lists itself as Version 7.6.6 (1709) but under this is Quicktime 7.7.1 (2599).
    So I don't know if the player is using something other than 7.7.1 or not. If it was just stock standard 7.7.1 then why has my .mid files stopped being played in the browser?
    Is .mid support really being dropped if so does anyone know of a plugin to get back midi playback?
    Regards

    Well - here from Denmark.
    Vi also need midi in our browsers.
    A simple yes or no to the question - Will it ever come back to Mac?
    Other vise we are going back to PCs in the future.
    Thanks
