Using Multiple MIDI controllers at the same time

It seems that there is no way to record from 2 different midi controllers at the same time without the data getting summed together. I'm trying to record a midi keyboard playing a piano sound and my roland v-drums at the same time. The result i get when i record enable both tracks is that both the keyboard and the drums each play both sounds. I'm using a MOTU midi express xt usb and have each of the devices on seperate midi ports and the drums are on channel 10. Is there anyway to keep this info seperated on it's own port? I've read through the environment chapter about 1000 times and there is no mention of this senario at all. Should I have saved $700 and stuck with MOTU DP4.6 which works just fine? Is there anyway to get some REAL help from Apple?

Have you tried: file/song settings/recording/auto demix per channel if multi-track recording?
hope that helps.

  • How to use 2 midi controllers at the same time?

    Hi all,
    I have an Oxy 8 usb keyboard and an old Roland drum machine hooked up through the mid in on my Firebox. Right now they control the same track (in Logic 7 Express) but i would like to use them to input midi to different track simultaneously. Would someone be kind enough to point me to the right page in the manual or, if it's not to much trouble, clue me in on how to do this?
    Thanks for your time,

    Sorry for the double post....
    I really don't remember which model is the Roland 505: for sure I know the Roland and Boss drums series.
    In my life I've had only one (maybe 2 but I remember only one) drum machine and it was a Sequential Drumtrak: it's dynamic was HUGE!
    Now I enjoy the iDrum, the Reason' ReDrum (it's very similar in concept to the Sequential).
    I find the interface of my new Ultrabeat (yes I'm on Studio, now) very ugly and the Ableton Live Impulse little useful.....
    I have again a very old Yamaha SY77 synthesizer and some of its sounds are good for today music but I prefer VI: they are lighter, more flexible and stay in tune (if you want!).
    So enjoy your TR until it's good for you!
    cheers

  • How to choose witch window will open external links when using multiple Firefox profiles at the same time?

    I am using 2 firefox profiles at the same, one for working and another for reading news. I start them with "firefox -no-remote -P profilename", so there are 2 firefox processes running.
    It works well, but when I click a link in an external app (like in Google Talk), the link is opened in the first firefox process I launched. I mean, if I ran the "news" firefox first, it will always open the external links.
    Is it possible to change this behavior? I'd like all external windows to be opened in the "news" firefox, never in the "working". Of course I'll achieve that if I open it first, but if I first run the "news", then the "working", then I close the news for any reason, now links will always open in the "working" until I close it.
    I running linux (opensuse 11.3).

    '''traysh''',
    Profiles '''''period''''' are "unsupported" by Mozilla. Profiles are "there" but the developers want no part of non-developers using them or fixing anything related to Profiles that has been suggested in a Bug report, or documenting much related to Profiles. Profiles as we know them now are going to disappear from Firefox in the near future, although no specific version number or date has been fixed for that to happen. It is up to us user's to share our experiences with Profiles with other user's. I'm a relative noob to Linux, and all my experience with running multiple Profiles and -no-remote is with Windows OS's.
    '''cor-el''',
    So are you saying that on Linux external links will only open in the first Profile that was opened if multiple Profiles are running?
    And that external links won't open a Profile that isn't already running - if any Profile is already running?
    ''I wish the differences between Windows and Linux as far as '''-no-remote''' and running multiple Profiles were better documented for "us" Linux noobs over at the MozillaZine KnowledgeBase - hint. Unless I am not looking hard enough in the MZ KB for that information....''

  • 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.

  • Can I use multiple sa-ns500 on the same network?

    Is it possible to use multiple sa-ns500 speakers on the same network?  they seem to want to have the same name on the network and therefore only 1 will connect at a time?  Can I rename one somehow?  Thanks!

    Hello Brian,
    Welcome to Sony Community.
    Please check for the Secure Link option in the Home Theater System or A/V Receiver. This will help isolate the connection to the different Network speakers.
    Yes, you can use multiple Network speakers on the same home network.
    You can change the Device name using the Setting screen on the browser.
    Follow the steps mentioned on the page # 34 and 35 of the User’s manual to start up the browser of the Network speakers and change the Device name.

  • How do I view multiple inbox folders at the same time in Mail?

    I want to configure Mail to show me multiple inbox folders at the same time. I want to be able to split the screen and show in the top section unread messages, then messages I've marked with label A, then messsges I've marked with label B, then everything else in my inbox (like using the multiple inbox feature in Gmail). Is this possible?

    Just figured it out - I can select multiple messages as you suggested when I am not in full screen mode.
    So once I come out of full screen mode - then the multiple windows open.

  • Problem running multiple folder actions at the same time

    Hi,
    Does anyone have some experience running multiple folder actions at the same time?
    I've written a Applescript folder action that processes some files. When adding some files, the script starts and all goes well. The processing of each file takes a few minutes, but all files are processed correctly.
    However, when adding some new files to the dropfolder, while the folder action is all ready processing other files dropped a few minutes earlier, the process that is all ready running immediately aborts and the folder action is relaunched on the new files, leaving the old files for what they are...
    The same problem occurs with multiple folders, each having a folder action attached. When dropping files in "Folder A", the script starts processing. But if someone droppes files in "Folder B", The script of folder A aborts, and the script of folder B starts processing. When adding more files to the folders, the result is the same. In some casses, when the last dropped files are processed, the os continues where the operation was aborted on the previous files. But this not always happens. To make things worse, when you remove the items from the folders afterwords, the folder actions starts running again on items no longer present in the folder !!!!
    Does anyone know how I can prevent the folder action being aborted when new files are dropped and placing the new files in "Hold", until the previous files are processed? How can I prevent a folder action being aborted when a item is dropped into another folder?
    I've written a small script to test this behaviour. Just create one or more folders and attach the script below. Drop a item into the folder, wait a few seconds and drop another one in the same or another folder. To monitor what happens please check the console.
    on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
              set FolderName to this_folder as string
              set ItemName to added_items as string
              repeat with theIncrementValue from 1 to 15
      delay 2
                        do shell script ("logger \"Folder: " & FolderName & "  -  Item: " & ItemName & "  -  Step: " & theIncrementValue & "\"")
              end repeat
              do shell script ("logger \"Folder: " & FolderName & "  -  Item: " & ItemName & "  -  Done...\"")
    end adding folder items to
    Thanks for any feedback.

    That is pretty much the way Folder Actions work, especially since AppleScript is not multi-threaded.  If you are using them as some intermediate step in a workflow, you might rethink the way you are handling the files (for example, use a droplet instead).  Other options would be using launchd to watch a path or a shell script on a different thread.

  • Multiple running queries at the same time

    Hi!
    I looked around (and RTM) for this but didn't find anything, so I'm asking here.
    I have quite a few long running queries (data loading and such things, warehousing stuff), and I need to be able to run multiple queries/statements at the same time. In TOAD I can do this, start a procedure and while it is running I can do SQL statements in another session tab (it supports threaded sessions - it starts queries in their own background thread/session).
    When I start a long running procedure or query in SQL Developer I can not do anything until the procedure execution finishes. Is there any way (setting/preference) to enable SQL Developer to be able to run multiple queries at the same time?
    I really would like to move away from TOAD, but this is a major showstopper for me.
    Thanx for any tips.

    Hi!
    This post is going to be a little longer, but I have to clarify things out.
    I did not mean to throw any wild accusations, because I did my fair share of RTFM and searching the help. I can tell you that if you put any of these in the help search box:
    session
    non shared
    non-shared
    connection
    concurrent <- I guess this one should yeld something
    multiple
    spawn
    you won't find anything usefull, the article that comes closest, is this:
    "Sharing of Connections
    By default, each connection in SQL Developer is shared when possible. For example, if you open a table in the Connections navigator and two SQL Worksheets using the same connection, all three panes use one shared connection to the database. In this example, a commit operation in one SQL Worksheet commits across all three panes. If you want a dedicated session, you must duplicate your connection and give it another name. Sessions are shared by name, not connection information, so this new connection will be kept separate from the original."
    It does not mention any spawning of non-shared connections from the current one, nor it does mention using a accelerator key combo. But since there could be written something about it, I guess you could call it a documentation bug, because it does not provide any clue to this functionality. The help is definitely of no help in this case. As you can see, I do not throw accusations without trying to find out something first. I guess if someone is not as deep into SQL Developer as you are, there is no way for him/her to know this.
    OK, I tried your suggestion, and (sadly) it does not work as I suppose it should.
    Here's what I did:
    - start a new connection, and enter the following code in SQL Worksheet:
    declare
    j number;
    begin
    for i in 1..1000000
    LOOP
    j := sin(i);
    end LOOP;
    end;
    As you can see, it doesn't do much besides holding the connection busy for a while when executed.
    - start a new non-shared connection from the first one using CTRL-SHIFT-N (as you suggested) and put the following statement in the new SQL Worksheet (with "__1" appended to connection name)
    select sysdate from dual;
    - go to the first SQL Worksheet and execute the procedure
    - while the procedure is executing, go to the second SQL Worksheet and hit F9.
    The sysdate is returned as soon as the first SQL Worksheet finishes and not any sooner. It may run in separate session, but the result is not returned before the other session is finished doing what it is doing. I guess the correct behaviour would be to return the sysdate immediately.
    I verified this behaviour repeating it 3 times starting with a new instance of SQL Developer, each time connecting to another schema and spawning the new non-shared session. The database used was Oracle 10.2.0.3 EE on RHEL 4 UPD3.
    The concurrent execution lacks concurrency. The statements might be executed concurently on the database (i did not went the extra mile to verfiy this), but the returning of results is just not independent of other sessions. To the end user this is as much concurrent as it is serial execution.
    I hope developers get this issue straightened out soon, as I said, I'd love to move away from Toad, but I'll have to wait until they fix this out.
    Is there anything else that can be done to make it behave correctly?
    Kind regards
    Alex

  • Free Goods (Use of Inclusive & Exclusive at the same time)

    Hi Gurrus,
    i have a scenario and i need your help.
    my company has started given free goods to the customers.
    Example,
    if a customer buy 4 PAC of material "A", He should get 1 PAC of Material "A"  and also 8 PAC of Material "B".
    That means I have to use Inclusive and Exclusive at the same time in one order for Material A.
    My requiremet is if the order booker enters 4 PAC of Material in an order so system should generate two sub item lines,
    1 PAC of Material "A" as "TANN" &
    8 PAC of Material "B" as "TANN".
    I have tried to capture this through VBN1 but system is only allowing me to enter either inclusive or exclusive condition record for one material.

    hi,
           ya, it is possible to create free goods for 1:n material for inclusive & exclusive for 2 materials.
    create a sale order  2 material with diff qty.& free goods for 2 diff qty for inclusive & exclusive
    Regards,

    OK great info!
    I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
    By "Plugable":  USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
    2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
    Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance.  BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
    One person commented: 
    This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
    Thanks for any additional comments.

  • How to use 10 touch points at the same time ?

    I want to project game which use about 10 touch points? How can I use all of them at the same time ?
    Please give me a sample code.

    Firstly you must know how many touch points can accept your device. For example iPad and iPhone can't handle more than 5.
    1. Enable touch input mode by
    Multitouch.inputMode=MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
    2. Use same method as for mouse input but instead use TouchEvent API
