Using a drum pad and MIDI keyboard - beginner question

Is there any way I can have my pad controller to be a dedicated drum pad? So no matter what insrument is selected, the pad just plays drum sounds? I have my MIDI keyboard and pad controller plugged in at the same time, and (for example) when I switch to a piano sound, the pad controller does too.
How can I change this?

It's up to the Keyboard, what does the mpk manual say?
Can the Pads transmit on a different MIDI channel than the Keyboard section?

Can i use a track pad and mouse at the same time

can i use a track pad and a mouse at the same time

If you mean can you have them both connected at the same time, then it's a yes. I have both connected and use the mouse for some functions and the trackpad for others... works a charm.

HT3131 I would like to darken my Mac Air screen, so I can use may external display and the keyboard on the notebook--it is possible on a PC-does it work on a Mac?

Sure it's possible.
Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo on the top left of the menu).
Choose "Display". There's a slider bar for the screen brightness. Adjust it and you're all set.

Just purchased a Track Pad. Can I use the track pad and my mouse at the same time?

Hello folks. Am new to the community. Asked a question but didn't go through.
Have just purchased a magic track pad for my desk top iMac. I have been using both the track pad and my mouse together.
It froze up after several hours. Is it ok to use both together? I find that fine movements are better on the mouse but the other
stuff is easier on the track pad.
Thanks for your help.

That is very strange..... haven't heard of that one. I guess I'd try the following: unpair them all and start over, one by one. I must say, my current mouse is not an Apple mouse - and it is USB, so it doesn't come into play in this scenario, but it is listed in the bluetooth devices and I do have the keyboard and trackpad.

LAPTOP TOUCH PAD AND NUMERIC KEYBOARD

I want to turn off the touch pad and I want the numeric key pad to work.

Hi Trevor6050,
I would like to welcome you to the HP Support Forums!
I see that you would like to turn off your touch pad and turn on the numeric keypad. I can help you with both of these requests.
For the touch pad here is a YouTube video that will walk you right through turning off your touch pad. How to Disable the Laptop Touchpad in Windows 7
For the numeric keypad, here is a document for How to Use the Numeric Keypad on Your Laptop with very straight forward steps on how to enable your numeric keyboard.
I hope this information helps, please let me know how it goes.
Good luck and have a great day!

How can i use an barcode scanner and a keyboard at the same time on Ipad

HI I am looking to find a way to use a barcode scanner and the on screen key bard at the same time, so far i cant seem to find a way to do it.
Does any one know how this can be done.
thanks

It is possible, I use multiple versions, however Firefox official policy is that you use firefox3.6 or 5 ; not firefox 4 which is not secure and not supported.
The easiest solution may be to use firefox portable http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36 although firefox 3.6 will itself not be supported for much longer.

Audigy 4 and midi keyboard soc

Hi, I've got a basic Audigy 4 soundcard, not the pro edition with the external box, but the pci internal card. I'm wondering if it's possible to connect a synthesizer which has midi input/output sockets to this soundcard. At first glance it doesn't look like it is as the card only has little jackplug sockets and I belei've for midi you need a multipin 'joystick' socket which isn't present. I know I could connect the keyboard through the mic socket and record the output as a sound source but I don't think this would work with midi music programs that produce a score when the instrument is played. Any data transfered this way would be just raw sound information. Thanks.

No, there is no connection for MIDI bracket so, you need to buy either
- USB MIDI interface (~$40-->) or
- some cheap PCI soundcard w/ MIDI controller onboard (~$8->) (disable the card and use the MIDI controller only)
- new good/excellent) PCI/USB/Firewore audio interface w/ MIDI I/(O) (~$00-->)
Some motherboards do have Game/MIDI connector/controller onboard so, have you checked this from your motherboard already?

Camera Connection Kit and MIDI keyboard: device not supported

I have a Roland RD-700SX stage piano and would like to be able to play sounds from my iPad 2 synth app (Sunrizer) via the real keyboard. Got the camera connection kit and plugged into the Roland, but the iPad tells me the RD device is not supported. How do I get it supported?
I've read that there may be issues with iOS 8 (I have 8.1.2). Is that truly the case?

After the original introduction of the iPad 2, Apple reduced to power levels of the 30 pin connector so as to severely limit the type of USB peripherals that can be used with iPads. There is no way, any longer, to use a USB device that draws too much power from iPad's that use the 30-pin connector.
I am not sure if that is still true of newer iPad's that use the Lightning type connector, but you can NOT use any high power USB device with any iPad OR any other older iDevice that uses the older 30-pin connector.
This is NOT an IOS issues or limitation, but a hardware limitation.

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.

I use an i-pad and my primary account email is aol. Is there a way to import my aol address book onto my ipad "contacts?"

I am using an ipad and the primary account email is aol. Is there a way to import my aol address book onto my ipad "contacts" app?

Oops, I found the answer to my question. Great knowledge base! I had originally imported via the automatic popup dialog box that appeared when I installed TB, and didn't absorb at the time that there would be a way to do an import later, after TB install, too, and even for specific parts of OE (address book vs. mail messages, etc.).
I pasted the link to the "Migrate to Thunderbird" page that includes how to migrate just an Address Book from OE, but the following is all that pastes in: 9723729938

Using illustrator for iOS graphics and frame animations (beginner question)

Hey there,
Just want to get some opinions and advice.
We are developing a sidescolling 2D game and I am creating 2D graphics in illustrator, ...so far so good, at this point in time I have a few characters designed.
Now for the character poses, positions and frame by frame animations.... hmmmm.
I have been searching for examples of ways to create character movements and positions in illustrator but as of yet have not found any good examples or explainations.
Would anyone care to share (or point me to some examples) of workflows you use to create different poses and character postions using illustrator...
(eg. should I be importing my artwork into flash to use the bone tool? Or should I create each variation in illustrator by copying my character and manipulating)

Though the people I have talked to are using solely illustrator to do just that!?
Maybe the people you've talked to just haven't taken opportunity to familiarize themselves with Bones. The artwork for cartooney walking animations can be done fairly easily in a drawing program, using Blends, Transform Again etc. So in many cases it's just not a big deal either way.
What is the advantage of using just illustrator to create animations, I'm guessing that its because the drawing tools available are superior to flash?
To me, it's not so much about "superior" drawing tools in a drawing program; it's more about a more complete set of drawing tools and commands. Flash has a Bezier drawing tool that works fine, so you can draw paths with control. But creating Blends on paths is just more convenient to do right on the page, without involving a timeline, keyframes, etc. Brushes and Transform Effect make it easy to repeat a series of objects. Flash's continual on-the-fly autotracing and auto merging of overlapping unselected and ungrouped objects can be cumbersome while drawing.
See this example. Then click the Construction Notes link below it to view a 2-page PDF that shows how the majority of the artworks was accomplished with just two very simple ArtBrushes used in combination with pathBlends. That kind of stuff is often just easier/quicker to do in a drawing program, release to layers, and then copy/paste or otherwise import to Flash.
Using Blends in AI for things like this experiment can save alot of tedium and time, as compared to working only with Flash's drawing tools. (Notes here.)
Some things just can't be done with only Flash's drawing tools. Envelope distortions, for example, can be blended to create frame-by-frame shape tweens that would be difficult to do with just Flash's native tools, as in this experiment. (The animation is embedded on Page 11 of the PDF; you may have to click "Trust this host one time only" in Reader and then click the middle of the page to get it to play, depending on your OS version.)
But as a general rule whenever using a drawing program in conjunction with Flash, avoid using more than ordinary flat fills and stokes in the drawing program before importing the paths to Flash. If you want to involve grads, shadows, transparency, etc., you'll generally be better off adding those things in Flash. Such effects are not the same constructs in different programs, and will most likley become rasterized in Flash (as is the case in the last example, above).
So again, it depends on specifically what you are trying to do.

After charging my IPad, Iam trying to use my I pad and screen says that ICloud backup hasn't been done and screen is locked will not let me escape

My start up screen seems locked. and I cannot unlock it. Backlight will not stay lit longer than 15 seconds. What can I do?

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

My daughter used my I pad and down loaded something on her apple account . I can not get it back to my account to update or download any new songs or app's

Now every time I try to update my app,s it asks for the password for her account not mine

Sign out of her account and sign in with yours.

Connecting laptops to wireless APs using RADIUS 802.1x and certificates set-up questions

I am working at a small school with 25 laptops for a mobile cart. We upgraded to new dual radio APs and I want to set up the laptops to connect to the APs and validate user credentials at logon. The person before me made a generic username "Student"
on each laptop locally so they could start the laptop and then connect to the wireless with a password. This is less than ideal for many reasons.
I have configured NPS on the server and on the AP. When I login locally and then select the AP I am prompted for credentials and can log in. On NPS's eventlog I can see it granting full access. At that point I do not have internet access which is going to
be a vendor call. I can ping 8.8.8.8 successfully but not the local.domain.org address, nor the server ip 192.168.25.5 which is also the DNS Server. I am thinking that there is a NAT issue there.
When I try to login to the laptops with my AD credentials it is not connected to the AP yet and tells me there is no logon server available.
Is that where the certificates should be used at computer/machine level?
I want to get this setup correctly so anyone who has done this and has some advice for best practice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
According your description, we can ping 8.8.8.8 successfully. It means that we have connected to the network.
Due to we can't resolve the domain name, it should be a DNS issue. As you have mentioned, the DNS server is unavailable. Please check if there is something wrong with the DNS server.
If we want client to connect to AP before implement AD authentication, we need to enable single sign on. For detailed information, please refer to the link below,

I would like to AirPlay mirror my iMac and be able to use both my magic mouse and wireless keyboard, but the bluetooth range won't let me. Is there a way to extended its range?

I am buying an iMac to AirPlay mirror on my big screen TV with AppleTV (2nd generation). But my TV is located far away from my iMac and I won't be able to use my magic mouse or wireless keyboard via bluetooth connection. I know I can use an app to simulate both mouse and keyboard, but I really need to use the actual devices.
I wish there was a way to pair them to my iPad or iPhone, via bluetooth, and control my iMac via network. It is a cheap solution, as I wouldn't need to buy any other device. I believe all these devices, without modifications, have enough technology to be able to work as I've imagined. The only need was to adapt the software.
Is there a solution simple as this one, or do I have to buy a Bluetooth extender in order to use my magic mouse and wireless keyboard? If so, which BT extender do you suggest and what is its range?
Thank you!

If you are still under warranty, contact Apple to get it serviced. You can also visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it looked at.
