Resounding note with a MIDI keyboard in GarageBand

Hi everyone!
I am having a problem with a resounding note with a MIDI keyboard in GarageBand. I am running the following:
GarageBand Version: 10.0.2
Keyboard: Korg PA50
Macbook Pro 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB of RAM
OSX 10.9.4
What happens is when I am recording, one note (could be an Eb, could be a G, the note changes each time) continues to sound after I have stopped recoding and taken off the sustain pedal and my fingers off the keyboard. It happens for virtual instruments that don’t even sustain using the sustain pedal such as an organ. The solution to this is to select a different virtual instrument and reselect the one I was using. This is not great especially in the middle of recording.
If anyone has any ideas, that would be much appreciated! If you need any extra info, please ask!
Thanks for your time!

To anyone with this issue, I have resolved it. I was using a third party USB-MIDI cable. I bought a new proper one for $65 (NZ Dollar) and have had no problems since. Hope this helps!

How can I build a drum pattern in Ultrabeat with my midi keyboard?

So I was just wondering if I was able to build a drum beat in Ultrabeat with my midi keyboard, kinda "on the fly" as it's replaying..... For example, if I want to add some percussion in the pattern but while it's playing. Is there any way that Ultrabeat can just record in items I want via the midi board instead of clicking on the part with my mouse? It would just be much easier this way.... Thanks!

It's a shame you can't record into Ultrabeat's sequencer in realtime using a MIDI controller.
But, as CCTM says you can record into Logic's Arrange and other Editors. One to use may be the Hyper Editor. Not as pretty to look at but very similar in functionality to UB's seq.
If you need to manage your recorded sequences you can always add the recorded region to your Apple Loops Library.

HT4106 How do I use a midi keyboard on GarageBand with my iPad? When I try it says the device cannot be used as it requires too much power. However, I have given the midi it's own power source.

How do I use a midi keyboard as an input device on garageband? Its an oxygen 61 board. I'm using an iPad camera connection kit and a separate power source for the midi but each time it says it cannot use the midi as it requires too much power.

I have the same problem with my iPad and 61. Sometimes it says device not supported and sometimes it rants about power - any solutions anyone ?

LMMS not working anymore with my MIDI keyboard

Hello,
I used to play to my MIDI keyboard with LMMS, but I don't know why, it doesn't seem to work anymore.
I looked at the the preferences box, and something shocked me:
I can't put "ALSA" in the MIDI Interface section, and if I launch lmms in a terminal I got that too:
[david@laptop ~]$ lmms
"Cannot load library /usr/lib/lmms/ladspa/imp_1199.so: (libfftw3f.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"

[b]Couldn't create MIDI-client, neither with ALSA nor with OSS. Will use dummy-MIDI-client.[/b]
So if someone knows how to fix this, well I'm open
Thanks !

Car 1: 2010 - VW Jetta TDI (Turbo Diesel) w/ Non-Navigation Audio BT Connection
Car 2: 2009 - Ford Escape w/ a Microsoft Sync Stereo system - No complaining about Microsoft here...Apple doesn't make a stereo ...but this is one of Microsoft's better product offerings.
Black MacBook - 2 gigs/ram, 250 gig HD, intel processor, etc...
Iphone 3GS - OS 4.0
Prior to the OS 4.0 upgrade my blue tooth phone book access, blue tooth music access, hands free phone use, was just fine....pretty much in both vehicles my iPhone 3.1.2 worked just fine....
Now with the OS 4.0 - Not so much. My iPhone will only connect the hands free phone component with either of my car's stereos. I can not get either vehicle to accept an Stereo Audio Blue Tooth connection so I can listen to my music and control it from my iPhone.
On top of that prior to the upgraded OS I had an iPod/iPhone connection cable in my Jetta and it worked fine in the past. (At times I would use it instead of Blue Tooth because I would charge my iPhone using the adapter) Now my stereo will work for for a few minutes but eventually locks up and will not allow me to switch between artists, albums, playlists, etc...it will only let me continue to listen the current selection of music. Now I get a message on my iPhone that says this device may not be supported...it never had an issue in the past.
So I feel that most people are coming to the same consensus that the new OS has altered something in the blue tooth handshake/coding....I have already read a few of the "Apple does no wrong postings..." please don't respond...your opinions are obviously biased because Apple is far from perfect...and you input rarely does anything to help. As for anyone else who has some ideas - other than downgrade you OS, I would appreciate hearing something.

How do you connect a MIDI keyboard to Garageband?

Hi. I have a Yamaha PSR-172 keyboard that I would like to connect to GarageBand. Today I bought an M-AUDIO Midisport Uno. I have it connected to my USB port on my Macbook Pro and to the Midi In/Out on the keyboard. I've been trying to make the keyboard connect to the computer for almost an hour, and have tried everything. I even watched several YouTube tutorials, which I tried to mimick, but still no results. Please help.

1. Does GB tell you "one midi device detected" in the Preferences under Audio/Midi? If not, you need to update the driver for the Midisport from M-Audio's website.
2. Did you connect the midi out of the keyboard with the midi in of the Midisport? That's a very common mistake people make.

Switching MIDI instruments with my MIDI keyboard

I was wondering if it's possible to assign a certain key on my MIDI keyboard to cycle up or down a list of instruments like you can do in Mainstage.

I think I found my answer through another question. I was able to set up different MIDI channels for each instrument and switch those channels with my keyboard. I was also able to map different parts of the keyboard to different instruments. VERY USEFUL!! This has been a big problem for me and now I am glad to say that it seems to be solved. Thanks for your suggestions!

My comuter does not recognize my midi keyboard

how do i make it recognize my midi keyboard

How are you connecting the midi keyboard to the computer? USB? Firewire?
What type of midi keyboard are you using? I use a Yamaha MOTIF ES 8. On my keyboard, there is a setting for my midi out port. For instance, I am connecting to my computer via a USB port. I have to set my keyboard midi out to "USB". Additionally, have you installed the midi driver for your keyboard in your system preferences? You need to let the computer know what midi channels you are transmitting and recieving on.
You might try setting your global midi I/O to "omni". That will transmit data on all 16 midi channels. OR...
Many people default the I/O to channel 1.
These are just some thoughts. I don't know if they are helpful. Good luck.

How can I control the delay pedal with a MIDI keyboard?

Okay, I'm looking to perform the song 'Are You In?' by Incubus with some friends, and here's what I want to do...
I have my guitar plugged into a Behringer UCG102 Guitar Link
The link is then plugged into my MacBook running GarageBand
I have an amp preset saved in the program with the 'Blue Echo' delay pedal
While playing, I want to be able to use my external MIDI USB keyboard (Akai MPK25) to control the 'Time' and 'Repeats' knobs on the virtual pedal.
Otherwise, i'm gonna have to keep switching between playing guitar and clicking on the screen and then moving the mouse around frantically.
How can I do this? And is it even possible in GarageBand?
If not in GarageBand, is it possible to do the same in Logic Pro?
My Akai keyboard did come with a piece of software to control the keyboard from the computer. It allows me to save different presets and upload them to it. For the knobs on my keyboard, the software has the option to enter numbers next to each knob for 'CC', 'Low' and 'Hi'
Sorry if i'm not very clear or I don't make much sense, not really sure how to explain everything.

There are two types of sustain pedal... One's with + polarity and ones with - polarity
The sustain pedal you are using, has the oppostie polarity from the standard.. which means when you press it it acts as if it is not pressed and vice versa...
Unfortunately, unlike a lot of keyboards... the Launchkey doesn't provide a setting that allows you to correct this issue... which means that unless the pedal you are using has a built in polarity switch...(In which case power down your keyboard, unplug the pedal and select the opposite setting to what is set now and then plug it back in and power up your keyboard) your sustain pedal is the wrong type and is not compatible with the Launchkey....
Failing that, here is an example of a sustain pedal that has a polarity switch so you can use it with any keyboard....

Using the imic with a midi keyboard.

I'm trying to get my Casio to work with my mac, but the driver from Google code won't work. So I was wondering, could I connect my casio (from the midi out) to the iMic? Or is the iMic not midi compatible?

The iMic is not a MIDI interface.
You can use it to record your Casio's sounds as a real instrument (or you could just go from the Casio's line-out to the Mac's line-in for that). But for MIDI (to control GB's instruments) you need a MIDI interface of some sort.

Can't hear MIDI keyboard thru GarageBand (or anywhere else)

I have a year-old MacBook running Leopard, and a Midiman (now mAudio?)49 Keystation USB controller (keyboard). The MIDI setup utility recognizes one MIDI input, but I can't hear the keyboard in Garage Band 3 or any other app I use (Songworks II). I've tried different input settings in Garage Band preferences, System Preferences and in the Audio MIDI setup utility, to no avail. The same keyboard works fine on my iMac G4, running the same software. As I said, the keyboard is USB powered. Is it possible that the MacBook doesn't produce enough power to run it? I have some serious projects to do and would be grateful for help. Maybe I need a newer keyboard? Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. Turned out I needed new drivers.

Bass Clef C key not working on midi keyboard

The keyboard is a Novation Remote 37SL, this key doesn't work for any instrument that I select. All other keys work fine. I haven't had any problems like this before, but wonder if setting up my autoload yesterday might have led to this. Any suggestions would be welcomed, because I'm racking my brain here. Thanks.

Does it happen with another KB?
If only this KB then the is either dirty or faulty. Maybe this will help

How do I use my computer keyboard instead of a MIDI keyboard to enter notes? In Garage Band I simply go to View - musical typing but there is no such prompt in Logic Pro 7.

Ihave always used my Logic Pro 7 program with a MIDI keyboard for note entry. I do not presently have a MIDI keyboard and wish to use my computer keyboard for note entry. I know this is possible but cannot recall the command to set that up. Can anyone refresh my memory? I know that on Garageband on just need to go to view - musical typing but that is not the command in Logic Pro.

Hi,

Problems with M-Audio Keystation 49e midi keyboard after 10.4.7 upgrade

I've noticed a problem with my midi keyboard and GB3 after this most recent OS upgrade. You start playing the keyboard using some instrument such as Grand Piano. After a while there is no sound coming out. You must turn off/on the keyboard, then it starts working again. Sometimes its not as easy, and it requires shutting down GB and restarting. This morning I had to actually reboot the machine before I could get any sound.
This is really a pain in the neck. My son is trying to practice his piano and keeps having to power cycle the keyboard every 5 minutes.
Any suggestions? This has happened before the OS upgrade, but it just seems to be happening more in the past few days.
Thanks,
Alfredo

To clarify my early post, I don't care for the feel of the controller, I own one as a back up, it sits around and always works perfect (plus it takes no drivers!) every time I plug it in. My friend has had one for a couple years as his main controller and recently it has started to give some ghost midi signals while recording (unintentional pitch and mod animations while recording) I was at another place recently where we had one that would not respond at all, 1 mac desktop, 1 powerbook and 1 dell laptop. All around I see this keyboard everywhere and it works fine for almost everyone on every computer, plus the one I own is perfect. But I have had some mixed results in my personal experiences with the device. I would be surprised if this device has developed an issue because of the mac os update, that sounds like a coincidence in my opinion because the device is "class compliant" and does not require drivers; but that is my opinion and a SWAG (the term SWAG is property of hangtime and borrowed, I hope HT takes no offense)
