Using anything with a MIDI feature.

I have an MBox 2 to record in my studio and recently bought a keyboard that has a MIDI feature. I'm using Record/Reason software and I want to use my keyboard to MIDI some features within this software. Do I need to download anything on the computer for the MIDI to work on my MBox 2?

If the keyboard has a MIDI connection using DIN sockets (round, 15mm in diameter and containing five small sockets in a semicircle) you should be able to connect it to the equivalent socket which I assume the MBOX has; whether this will connect automatically or you have to set up the MIDI connection in Audio-Midi Setup is something you would have to look up in the MBOX manual.
If the keyboard has a USB connection it may very likely work straight off, depending on how its designed - some keyboard may require a driver to be loaded. If the keyboard's spec says 'CoreMIDI' it shouldn't require a driver.

  • Using MainStage with multiple MIDI inputs (two keyboards!)

    Hi Guys,
    I use two keyboards for my live gigs, and am thinking about moving all my sounds over to MainStage. Most of my recording uses Native Instruments and Logic's standard AU instruments, and then I have to find similar sounds on my Korg and Kurzweil for live...
    My question is... can you use MainStage with two MIDI controllers? I'd obviously want to set up the presets in MainStage so that there are different instruments being controlled by each synth.
    Would love any advice on whether this can be done, and a quick pointer as to how...
    Thanks heaps in advance,
    Mike

    Easily done (I'm using two USB controllers on a gig now). Just set them up in Layout mode, then be sure to select the input of choice for your specific channel strip(s) in each patch. Or of course you can set things up at the set or concert level as well.

  • Can you use UIButton with toggle a feature ??

    I'm experimenting with Interface Builder and Xcode but am new to Object-C and I understand MVC and IBOutlets/IBActions and have gone through the iPhone101 tutorial and introductory guides on apple's developer site, which is excellent BTW.
    What I would like to know is: If I create an *iOS View-based Application* in Xcode and then add a UIButton to the *ViewController's xib file* in Interface Builder, then:
    1) Is it possible to make the button behave like a toggle switch (i.e. tap once to highlight/enable it then tap once again to de-highlight it) and if so, how does one code it ? (I know you can do it with separate image files using the setImage:forState: instance method, but I want to avoid that)
    2) What is the purpose of creating an IBOutlet to a UIButton that sends an IBAction when it's touched ? (The *View Controller Programming Guide for iOS* isn't very clear about it...)
    I understand that the UIButton class inherits from the UIControl class and therefore inherits the properties enabled, highlighted, selected, state, etc from it, which I assume are part of the solution.
    Thanking you in advance.

    Excuse the delay in replying...
    Excellent! - thanks for that xnav
    It work even with the delay set to 0.0 on the iPhone Simulator, but not sure about on an iPhone though.
    I think I need to read up about @selector and the performSelector instance method.
    I found today another possible solution (but have not tried it out though):

  • Is it possible to use iMessage with restrictions turned on?

    Is it possible to use iMessage with restrictions turned on?
    To be more specfic is it possible to use iMessage with the camera feature block via restrictions?  It appears that iMessage cannot be use with the Camera restricted, but I want to verify my experience with the community.
    Thanks

    Other users have reported the same blocking.  This one gives a good explaination.

  • I use Apple TV's screen saver with a file in my photo library.  If I install newest update - will that change anything with my using this favorite feature?  I have just under 4000 photos in that file.  What is the total # of photos it can utilize?

    I use Apple TV's screen saver with a file in my photo library.  I believe it is first generation or second Apple TV - not the newest one.
    If I install newest update - will that change anything with my using this, my favorite feature?  I have just under 4000 photos in that file. 
    And, what is the total # of photos it can utilize?  If I keep adding photos - is there a limit to the # it will utilize?

    Thank you Alan and  know you are right. I really can do all I need with my netbook and ereader and do not need the ipad. I think I just wanted something new and felt I may enjoy using it a lttle more than the netook. But it would be a waste just to buy one when I donlt acutally need it  And, donl't think it is worth the extra money for me the get the 4g wireless capability since I doubt I would really need it often.
    I may treat myself to the Ipad for the color, touchpad and fun to use but it is very expensive considering how little it will do for me no more than the things I want it for. It woudl be and expensive luxuray, I can do without. I actually  need t learn how to use more of the function avaiable first.  Maybe I should take up playing games and learning to take digital pictures so I can at least load them. If I could learn to do that and take a decent picture, I could start selling back all the "stuff" I have purchased on ebay. haha - I do have a nice doll collection, I would like to sell. I just do not have room for anything else. That was the primary purpose for the Kindle Ereader I bought and enjoy so much,
    But, I will hold onto the thought for a while and see how it goes and what other comments I get, If I think I cannot live without it, then I will have to rethink which one to buy, I coud get the 32 g if I did not have to pay for the 4g wireless. And, if I knew I could get help to teach me how to use and enjoy all the functions, I would give it more serious consideration. My granddaugther got one for Christmas and that was what got me interested in it. I love the size of the screen and it had good color and was fast. She even had an application where she could write her notes and it would convert into typed words. That was a neat feature, If you could print it?
    But thanks again for your comments and I will check later to see I get any other feedback.

  • Problem with Audio MIDI Setup using multiple accounts

    I'm having a problem with Audio MIDI Setup recognizing all of the MIDI devices on a G4 Tower with a non-administrator account. The main administrator account has no problem seeing anything, but the non-admin account won't see anything. Does it all have to be added in manually, or is there a preferences file to copy over that will take care of this. Failing that, is it a problem with file permissions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Don't know whether this of any help, but there's an identifiable issue with AMS and Digital Performer 5 where DP5 simply won't load with AMS setups configured with previous versions of DP. Which is probably irrelevant to your problem, but ...
    What I and other DP users have found we have to do is start with a completely new, blank AMS setup, and reconfigure our devices from scratch, and although this was kind of hit and miss and on the fly (don't really understand what the the issue was, exactly), I think the bottom line was if we used the new AMS setup with DP5 before anything else that might cause its data tables to change, we were ok.
    So if you can do it, it might be worth setting AMS to a new blank template, then connecting your interfaces, see how far you get. And always make sure you've got the latest drivers of course, though I'm sure you've done that.
    Never used Mbox or 410, but I've an Ozonic which I think uses the same M-Audio firewire drivers as the 410, and don't have any problem with that, FWIW.

    I've been using my personal hotspot between my iPhone and iPad, but I don't believe I've changed anything with my phone contract, will I be charged on my next bill?

    Depends on whether your carrier supports Personal Hotspot & how/if they charge for this feature. Some carriers include Personal Hotspot as part of your data plan, some require it be provisioned on your account. Contact your carrier & see what their requirements are. The fact that you have the Personal Hotspot setting indicates your carrier supports this feature.

    I’m having an intermittent problem with my midi controllers triggering Mainstage 3.
    I’m using a PreSonus Firebox audio interface.
    It’s been working fine for months, but now when I first turn on the computer in the morning , I’m not able to trigger MainStage from the keyboard.  I tried different midi controllers, different keyboards, different midi cords, and check midi preferences.  The audio interface is working fine and is recogonized, but the midi doesn’twork.  I re-started the computer several times and then finally it miraculously starts working again.
      I’ve been having to this every day now.  Any help or ideas is very much appreciated.

    I Had the same problem with a FireStudio. Try unplugging the FireWire plug and the power plug. Wait for a few seconds, then plug both back in. The light on my FireStudio was flashing blue/red which means "not connecting." I did what I just described, and everything works again. Hope it works for you.

  • Using Proteus X with a midi sequencer - VST work around

    I got Proteus X with the X-board 61. I've been trying to use it with Cubase. First it took me a while to figure out that Proteus X has to be used with a sequencer using VST you can't just select it as a midi device.
    Am I wrong here? I really can't believe it is set up this way and that more people aren't complaining about it. Maybe I just missed something and you really can use Proteus X as a midi device?
    When I set up Proteus X as a VST instrument in cubase there is a half second delay in triggering sounds from the X board. After the midi data is recorded in the timing play back is just fine. I did a little research and it seems that this problem is happening because the latency on my sound card is too high (I could be wrong here too). I'm just using the internal card on my laptop. I might think about getting a fancy external card, but I wouldn't want to have some other thing to drag around with my laptop and keyboard.
    Anyway my work around is this: I don't load Proteus X as a VST instrument, but just as a stand alone app. I downloaded MIDI yolk here: http://www.midiox.com/myoke.htm . (I also tried maple midi port but it didn't work for me).
    In Proteus X go to Options>Preferences>MIDI and for Ch 1 - 16 set it to "In From MIDI Yolk: 1" For Ch 17 - 32 set it to EmuXboard61(or what every your controller is)then OK
    Now you can load sounds into channels 1-16 in Proteus X.
    In Cubase for each MIDI track set the in to E-MU Xboard61 (or your controller) and the out to "Out To MIDI Yolk 1"
    This will allow both your controller and sequencer to control Proteus X at the same time without using VST. This work around also allows you to use Proteus X to play back any MIDI file from any windows application. Just go to the windows Control panel>Sounds and Audio Devices>Audio tab and set the MIDI music playback Default Device to "Out To MIDI Yolk: 1"
    Hope this helps somebody like it did me.
    It would be really cool if there was a way to set this up to use the additional ch 17-32 in Proteus X. I haven't quite figured it out yet. Anyone have suggestions?

    IMO FL is not wery good with MIDI recording.
    Insert #1 Channel --> select Proteus-X from the list. Set some patch on Proteus-X
    Insert #2 Channel --> select Proteus-X from the list. Set some patch on Proteus-X
    etc.
    I suppose you can use the MIDI recording functionality on FL (eg. select track to record add an instrument on it, press record button start with play button (you can set wait for keyboard, snap/step/..., metronome, etc from those tiny icons(light)).

    I use lightroom with the soft proofing feature for my printing. I used to make a copy proof, but all of the sudden something changed, and even if I'm on the copy in the developing mode it prints the original. Also, If i chose a file that was already in light room to print, even though I have the chosen file up in the developing mode, it will instead print the most recent file that I added to lightroom. If found a way to work around these problems, (check make this the copy in the soft proofing, and copy my settings and delete and reload the old files) but it's a slight hassle and it didn't use to do this. Not sure why it changed. Could I have accidentally changed a setting?
