Multiple midi interface issues

I have two Edirol MIDI USB interfaces hooked up to my system
One interface is connected to a Yamaha MU15, the other interface is connected to a string of older synthesizers on their own MIDI channels.
If I change a MIDI tracks output interface, it changes for every track -i.e. i want to send some MIDI tracks to one interface, other MIDI tracks to the second
What should I do to make this work?

Sorry, newbie question alert.
My Focusrite Saffire LE is a MIDI and audio
interface. It has a single MIDI in and out. I have 4
synth units I want to connect. Can I just go ...
in > thru > in > thru > in > thru > in > out
Theoretically, this should work and is the reason that
they are there. Now in a real world applicatioin you are
going to have to find out if in fact it will work. There
are a number of things that could be a problem but
I dont want to get you worrying about things that
might not happen. Just make sure you have good cables
and set up all your stuff in the Audio/Midi setup. If you
run into any problems try removing each device one at
a time to see if it is one piece that is causing the problem.
Have fun

Using multiple midi interfaces

Hi,
I'm running LP7.2.3 / PT7.4cs2 on a PPC g5 2.5dual.
I have 1 unitor 8 & 2 mt4's all recognized by audio midi setup.
Individually all the outputs work fine, the problem comes when trying to run midi simultaneously through same numbered ports of different interfaces. ie: a 16s sequence playing on port 3 of unitor & mt4a will not run, the notes cut each other off, but running the same sequence out from port 3 of unitor & port 4 of mt4a is fine.
This is slowly driving me insane.
Anyone have this, or an answer?
Many thanks

I had the 2.3 driver already on my system, and when I went to install this one, it said I didn't need the update, for some reason.
After verifying that 2.5 was indeed in the installer, I used Pacifist to manually extract it overwriting the existing driver, and all is good...
Good that the ol' magic hardware is still being so actively supported so long after being out of production... these are probably the most rock solid interfaces you can get on OSX...

Audi MMI multiple contacts interface issue

Last week i traded in my Torch for a Q10. A good move, until I tried to interface the phone with the car. I have extensive contacts in the 1000s through Linked In. When I try to use the phone book I have a largely useless list going as far as 'C'.
The simple thing to do was to turn off the LinkedIn contacts through settings. No good...so I removed the LinkedIn account completely and re booted. Still no use...they re-loaded, heavens only knows how. I have my contacts set as my work email only which is all I need.
My IT guy is baffled having removed the LinkedIn contacts file from Outlook. This phone is so smart it still finds all the contacts and their details.
Any ideas? The Torch never did this, so it is not the car.

Hi,
I understand it doesn't help but how did you manage to even get the contacts on?
I connected mine just now and all it shows is the BlackBerry CD under media/source selection. When I cancell the installation of BlackBerry link on my phone all it shows is unreadable content..
Thanks

How to record multiple midi channel data to multiple midi tracks in Logic?

Dear All,
I have an electric organ from Yamaha, and it has 3 keyboards, upper keyboard, lower keyboard, and pedal keyboard. They are all running in different midi channels:
i.e. upper keyboard: midi channel 1
lower keyboard: midi channel 2
pedal keyboard: midi channel 3
When I try to create 3 midi tracks in Logic to listen to the 3 keyboards, I found that their midi signal just mixed together. Meaning, all 3 midi tracks can listen to all 3 keyboards...
Please noted that I am using a single USB Midi interface (1-in, 1-out) to connect the electric organ with macbook.
Can someone give me a help here? I suppose I can setup 3 midi tracks in logic to listen to 3 keyboards signal separately.
Thanks,
Eric

Be aware that the Settings are song specific, compared to Preferences, which apply
to all songs. Set your controllers to send on specific MIDI channels and set the same channels in the inspector of your tracks.
I have a 2x2 midisport however, so I don't know if you will have an issue because you have only 1 I/O.
If so, you might have to learn about 'Multi instruments", I haven't had the need.
Yes, this is correct. We have two recording stations with ESI M4U 4x4 midi interfaces. We are recording 4 instruments at the same time and they all send their data on a different channel. I created midi instruments for all of them in Environment just to have them more easily available in the Arrange window. Also make sure you have the correct midi channel set per track in Logic.
When the option to "auto demix by channel" is set and you are recording, it may seem that Logic is recording only on one channel (only one region being created). But as soon as you hit stop, it will expand to multiple channels.

Multiple MIDI takes on the same track - can only find one in the editor?

After making several passes on an instrument track w/drum sampler on it I opened the piano roll editor to edit the data only to find only one of the passes represented there. I could only find the other passes when I moved the current one out of the track temporarily. There must be a better way to do this, can anyone hip me to the right way to edit all the data in the multiple passes at the same time? I can hear all the data, I just can't see all of it.
I'm doing this so I only have to instantiate the Virtual Instrument once in the session, CPU is always at a premium these days. I have done the bulk of my work in recent years in ProTools but I have found Logic Express 8 to be far more efficient with CPU load on my core 2 duo Macbook. I suspect I'm just missing something but I cannot seem to figure it out. Help?

I appreciate your comments but my issue was in editing the already recorded tracks. If you can find in those pages where it shows how to view all the data from the already recorded multiple MIDI tracks at the same time in the piano roll window and be able to edit them I'd be much obliged if you would point those out to me. I double checked your recommendation after reading your first reply, the answer I needed was not there.
Evidently you can only select and view one region at a time no matter how many there are in the same track. I have searched the LE 8 pdf manual and also searched thru an Apple Logic Pro Training series book for version 7 JIC it had some additional insight into this particular issue and came up empty, that's why I was asking for additional insight on this panel. I always go to the documentation first - RTFM is first call for me.
I've already figured the workaround and I'll know better next time to allow Logic to create its own multiple take folders so as far as I'm concerned this case is closed. Thank you again for your input.

Using multiple MIDI in and out ports... is there a any solution?

Hi Guys,
I've been using Logic Pro for about 3 or 4 years, and have always struggled with the fact that when using external MIDI instruments, there are not separate drop-down menus for PORT IN and PORT OUT, where I could choose which port would be used on my MIDI interface.
I was previously a Cubase user, and it had these two ports, so I could easily choose, for example: "MIDI IN: Port B" and "MIDI OUT: Port C", and MIDI would be routed to those ports.
Logic only has one drop-down for selecting ports, and that is for the outgoing MIDI signal only.
My problem is that when we want to record say two synths at the same time, each on its own MIDI track, the incoming signals are blended and played on both active tracks.
There IS a tick-box option in Project Settings, called Auto demix by channel if multitrack recording, but this only works when all the channels in question are armed for recording. If we are just jamming ideas (but want to have MIDI set up ready to record... therefore local is off on each synth, etc...), it appears there is no way to separate the incoming MIDI signals so they only go back to their respective ports.
This issue has now compounded with the addition of two new synths in my studio... suddenly it's even more crucial to be able to easily separate the MIDI ports for each of the four synths.
I have never delved into the Environment, but was chatting to the guys in the music store I go to, and they were saying there might be a way of setting up the specific MIDI routing I am looking for, in the Environment.
I would love any assistance you could give me. This has become such a frustration that I have even looked at moving back to Cubase (but the way it handles lots of tracks at low latency on Mac is stopping me, at the moment! The trial version showed this up as a real issue, compared to Logic!).
I am of course secretly hoping that Logic Pro 10 will have a re-thought MIDI setup, with simple in and out port drop-downs for each MIDI track. But that's a long shot, and Logic 10 could still be ages away!
Any help an experienced user can offer me would really be appreciated.
Cheers,
Mike

Which is the best MIDI interface to use with Logic 7 ?

Hi folks :o)
Firstly, thanks all for any advice you can give. I'm a pro user, but right in the middle of a major upgrade (G4/OS9/CubaseVST32 >> G5/OSX/CubaseSX3/Logic7) & feel a huge learning curve coming on!
The situation is this:
I have a Steinberg Midex 8 midi interface, plus a MOTU MTPav in the cupboard. The Midex took place of the MTPav because it had much better midi timing under OS9 with Cubase... The Midex8 drivers for OSX, however, are still beta & a pile of rubbish. (It keeps losing communication with the G5.) I'm fed up with how bad Steinberg have been sorting (not!) these problems out (not to mention the fact that Cubase SX3 can't recognise my 'studio' created in Audio Midi Setup either.. arghh!), so I'm considering jumping ship & going entirely to Logic in one hit, plus whichever is the best midi-interface for this software & OSX.
As food for thought, I'm currently thinking of tracking down a 'Unitor 8', having made the (perhaps wrong) assumption that it'd work 'best' with Logic seeing as it was made by Emagic. BUT, despite a lengthy search in Logic 7's manuals & this forum, I can't find any mention of Emagic's 'Active Midi Transmission' protocol & whether or not Logic 7 supports it; AMT is the only reason I'd buy the Unitor. (I've got all the other bases covered with the MTPav.) I'm also concerned about the long-term support issues regarding drivers for the Unitor 8 & OSX; ****, I'm having enough problems with Steinberg & their Midex 8 (which is still a current product in theory!) without throwing Emagic & a midi interface that's no longer manufactured into the pot...
So..... What do you folks feel is the best midi interface to use with Logic 7 as regards tight midi timing & system reliability? Can anyone out there with a big midi setup categorically say "I've got one (or more) of these MIDI interfaces, it works beautifully under OSX & Logic 7, & the MIDI timing is rock-solid, even when put under heavy midi 'duress' " ??
Many thanks again in advance for any feedback!
Your new Logic Pro virgin ;o)
Jason

Thanks for your reply folks. It's good to hear a number of you are having good results with your MTPav - I guess I'll pull mine out of the cupboard in that case!
As an aside, it's been interesting to note how difficult it's been to get a clear answer from companies (be it shops or Apple) as to whether or not Logic 7 supports 'Active Midi Transmission' on the old Unitor 8 MkII..... (The reference manual has one mention of it in the index, yet points to a page that doesn't say anything about AMT at all!)
If anyone here DOES have a clear answer about AMT with Logic 7, I'd be very interested to hear about it... thanks.
Kind regards,
JC

Strange MIDI Destination issue.

Hmm, how can I even start by explaining my situation. Please bare with me
I started a song two years ago when I still had a Virus and an Oxygen 8. I had those set as External Instruments. Under the External Instrument pop-up box, under MIDI Destination, I had created the Virus & Oxygen 8 under GM Devices. It somehow replaced GM Devices or perhaps renamed it? Anyway, everything worked fine for the past 2 years until I got rid of the Virus and Oxygen. I plugged in my old microKorg hoping the MIDI notes that I drew on the instrument line for the virus would just play the sounds from my microKorg. There it seems to me that the MIDI notes I drew aren't triggering back to my keyboard.
Now, though I can record what I'm playing on my microKorg to the track where my Virus use to be, but it won't play back the notes I recorded.
I'm guessing somehow I need to get rid of my Virus and Oxygen in my MIDI Destination list and bring back my GM Devices list? The song I have is much too layered for me to start a new file.
Any help would be great. Thank you.

Logic has no clue what instruments are connected via midi, it's just sending out notes on ports and cables you have chose to label Oxygen and Virus. You can label your instrument Elton John's CP70, and Logic doesn't know the difference.
I'm wondering if your current keyboard is the problem. Have you checked the midi settings? Is the keyboard set to the correct channel? Is it a local on/off issue? Or a bank select issue? or a Multitimbral issue, such as solo turned on, multi off etc. Is the keyboard plugged into exactly the same interface and port as the virus was 2 years ago? Is the little light on your interface showing data going out to the keyboard?
Try this troubleshooting method:
1. Set a loop in logic to repeatedly play a section with midi notes from 2 years ago. Solo that track. Check the meters in the mixer to make sure something is happening on that track.
2. Watch your midi interface. Is the little light flashing to show midi data being received?
3. Set your keyboard to multitimbral OFF. Check the channel number on the solo track in Logic. Set your keyboard master channel to that channel.
4. Check the channel volume settings on your keyboard. Once in multitimbral OFF does playing the keyboard still make a sound?
5. Find an old gm module lying around and plug your midi out from interface cable into that module instead of the keyboard.
6. This will sound stupid...but can work. Switch your in and out cables on both the keyboard end and the interface end. You know the one going into the interface works, but maybe the other one went kerploooey.
Remember, logic can route out to many ports and cables, which need to be set correctly by hand. But midi in is automatically accepted on all ports and cables (theoretically.) So it's not surprising that midi in is not giving you troubles, but midi out is much more finicky.

ACS 5.4 multiple network interfaces support

In ACS 5.4 release note, it says:
Multiple network interface connector support
ACS 5.4 supports up to four network interfaces: Ethernet 0, Ethernet 1, Ethernet 2, and Ethernet 3. ACS management functions use only the Ethernet 0 interface, but AAA protocols use all configured network interfaces. You must connect the ACS nodes in the distributed deployment only to the Ethernet 0 interface. Therefore, the syslog messages are sent and received at the log collector's Ethernet 0 interface. Data forwarding from one interface to another interface is prohibited to prevent potential security issues. The external identity stores are supported only on the Ethernet 0 interface. In ACS 5.4, multiple network interface connectors are also supported for proxies.
But in the CSACS 1121 Series Appliance Rear View section, it still says on Ethernet 0 is usable. All other interfaces are blocked.
I am confused. Can anyone clarify for me if we can use multiple network interface in ACS 5.4? What about management interface?
Thanks!

We configured 2 interfaces in past within testing enviornment and it worked. ACS 5.4 supports multiple network interfaces on the UCS platform, on a virtual machine and on the legacy ACS 5.x IBM/CAM hardware. The ACS management functions use the interface eth0 only and the AAA protocols use all available network interfaces.

Include multiple sub-interfaces in Cisco ASA for VPN tunnel

I am trying to create a VPN tunnel between two Cisco ASAs where one ASA has multiple sub-interfaces.
Say, In Cisco ASA 5550(in datacentre), I created multiple subinterfaces with VLAN ID as below:
Inside, int0/1 : 10.1.1.0/24
DMZ, int0/1.100: 10.1.100.0/24 (VLAN 100)
Production, int 0/1.101 : 10.1.101.0/24 (VLAN 101)
Management, int 0/1.102: 10.1.102.0/24 (VLAN 102)
And another Cisco ASA 5505 is only configured with 1 x inside interface Inside, int 0/1: 192.168.1.0/24
So far, I have only been able to provide outside access to one of the sub-interfaces as NAT rule on inside interface didn't work for VLANs. Hence had to issue Global NAT rule to be applied on Production subinterface so that production VLAN can have outside access. I have managed to establish VPN tunnel between two ASAs on Production sub-interface only, Source interface = Production subinterface
Additional settings:
Have ACL to allow all sub interfaces to access outsite ( lower security level)
NAT rules is configured on Production subinterface with Source NAT Type as Dynamic PAT; when this was configured with source interface as inside, PCs behind various VLAN coun't access internet.
I want to establish a site-to-site VPN tunnel with multiple sub-interfaces of Cisco ASA 5550 to Cisco ASA 5505. Would you please suggest what I am missing in my configuration? I need to be able to access multiple VLANs of datacentre from remote site.

Snow Leopard Ok Except MIDI Driver Issues

I really like the Snow Leopard install I did this past Sat and all went well, speed increase, added HD space, faster Photoshop CS4. But I can't use GarageBand right now because my M-Audio UNO Sport MIDI USB cable won't work wth Snow Leopard. There is no driver update yet at the M-Audio for the UNO. I'm sure they are working on it, but I need to get my keyboard hooked up to GB.
I am reading many other posts here about others having no problems with the upgrade other than MIDI issues with their direct USB keyboards or their MIDI/Audio interfaces.
Hope this gets fixed soon.
Thanks Steve

It seems I have a similar problem. I use my Kawai Mp5 (stage piano) as a midi interface. It is connected to my Mac (see details below) using a USB cable.
In Leopard it worked fine. In Snow Leopard however I need to power on the Kawai before I start my computer! If I power the Kawai later it is not detected in the Midi Setup of MacOSX. However, in system info I can see that the USB device is detected!
So the Mac recognizes the device, but it's not showing up as a midi interface, unless it was powered before I started my computer.
Anyone else having this problem? It's really annoying to have to restart your computer everytime I which to use my midi interface..

How to deploy across multiple mid-tier instances

I was hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction. We have two portal/webcache mid-tier instances on release 10G AS 9.0.4.2. On the ias_admin home page I tried to create a cluster and add the two instances to a cluster but it won't let me do it for a portal type install. If that is the case, how do people handle deploying such things as portlet providers and data sources across multiple mid-tier instances? Here is the concern from our Portal admin:
As discussed, the inability to cluster the mid-tiers will cause issues in production as we try and keep deployed portlet providers with their required configurations and datasources in synch. While deploying and configuring 1-2 mid-tiers for a given portlet manually is do-able, the chance for out of synch components or configuration settings is amplified for each additional mid-tier. If we manually deploy 5 mid-tiers and accidently mistype the datasource for example, we'll have a random error that will occur once requests are attempted to be serviced by that mid-tier. This will make troubleshooting difficult. We really need some way to deploy and configure settings one time and have these items propagated to all the other mid-tiers.
What is the best way to handle this scenario?
Regards and thanks for any info,

Help with midi latency issue?

I'm using a midiman 4x4 with Logic Pro 7.1. and just recently on play back of a midi part to my Nord Lead 3 there is really bad latency between the audio in Logic and the midi.
When i'm actually playing midi there is no issue whatsoever, just during playback after i've recorded a part.
I'm using an M-Box by the way..
This problem has only arisen in the last few days and i've updated the drivers for my midi interface but this has made no difference.
Any ideas???

Please see your duplicate thread below for answer already provided.

Audio midi setup issue.

I want to create an aggregate device using audio midi setup, as I have seen can be done here for example, and yet I have the problem that my Audio midi set up does not look like this at all. I'm assuming I have an older version (i am using a macbook 3,1) is there a way I can either update my audio midi set up or create an aggregate device in the version I have?
Thanks, Joe

Hello, I am also having problems with the 10.8.2 Audio/MIDI set up. It shows all my MIDI devices but one-an Akai Breath Controller, when showing the info window for it there is no box for putting it online.
It is in the MIDI window and hovering over the icon shows that the breath controller[ which is plugged into the audio/MIDI interface-an Edirol UA-25 which does show up as online] is conected to the Edirol by cables both ways.
I wrote to Roland and was sent new drivers for 10.6 and up and they work I think, because I an hear the VSTi I am controlling with the Akai, but Logic shows no input while playing the Akai through the EDirol.
The link is broken and a search on this site for How to combine multiple audio interfaces brings up nothing,and this problem of mine is all MIDI.
When I playback a project the MIDI all sounds fine so I think the problem is Apples Audio/MIDI set up not the Edirol interface.

Multitimbral pluggins receiving midi volume issue

I can't get some third party pluggins (Stylus RMX or the East West Symphonic Orchestra) to recevie midi volume on multiple midi channels. The pluggins will receive midi note information on multiple midi channels, but the pluggins seem to receive all midi volume globally (the midi volume triggers the fader on the audio instrument instead of adjusting the volume "internally" before the fader). A workaround is to use a transfomer to filter out the midi volume from the audio instrument and use a channel splitter to route it to the aux's that the multiple outputs are routed to. Does anyone have a better idea?

In fact Logic needs a basic revision to conform the plug-in interface to the AU standard, ie. passing controllers #7 and #10 to the plug-ins.
That was something that always puzzled me a little. Why was Continuous Controller data kept in the Track Automation scheme at all (other than for MIDI devices)? It couldn't have been for song backward compatibility because automation from pre-Logic 5 songs was written in object-based automation.
It wouldn't have been for compatibility with generic control surfaces either, because that didn't appear to be a high priority.
I'm wondering now if it was something Mackie insisted on when Logic Control was being developed, so that the device would be more compatible with software other than Logic? (i.e. Mackie Control )
When the Automation Splitter function was added, I was somewhat surprised that CC events for just Vol and Pan were still kept. (it could have been made secondary for backward compatibility)
I would have thought that Logic 7 would have ben the perfect juncture at which to remove CC events from Track Automation completely and thus allow them to all be passed to AU plugins. But it didn't happen.
I have a feeling that the programmers may have somehow gotten into a compromise that is hard to get out of.
