Using the BCF2000 midi controller in FCP5

I have succesfully assigned the controller to work in soundtrack but am unable to make it work in FCP. Does anyone know how to asssign the faders to the audio mixer or should it as in soundtrack just recognise the mdi device.

Hi,
Just done this myself,
first goto the tools menu and select control surfaces and hit + and select the control surface.
then you must have to have the audio mixer open to use the control surface.
FCP assigns the channels itself.
Best of luck,
Tim

Req any examples of how to use a USB midi controller/keyboards with Labview TIA

Hi,
To access the MIDI ports you will need to call the Windows SDK. To send MIDI commands is relatively easy, here is an example that shows you how to send data to a MIDI controller or keyboard.
As far as input goes, this is the hard part. There are a series of functions that you need to call to open up the device, set some buffers and and possibly a callback to get notifications on the incoming data.
Reading MIDI data will not be an easy task, your best bet will be to implement this in a DLL and call that DLL in LabVIEW, there should be some code available o the web.
= "http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/multimed/htm/_win32_multimedia_... is a link to the Windows multimedia functions that you could use for MIDI input.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

How to use a specific MIDI controller to control instruments loudness?

Hi, I just started using Logic, so it's possible I will find the answer to this question by myself over time, but maybe somebody can point me to the answer right now...
I want to control the loudness (volume) of a software instruments over time, for a given note, using a MIDI controller channel. The note velocity only controls the loudness of the attack.
Of course this is not applicable for an instruments such as the piano, but it is quite important for string or wind instruments where you can attack a note very softly but keep playing louder on the same note.
The MIDI controller to control that could be after touch. In my case, it would be CC2 (breath control), as I use a wind controller.
My experiment so far is that Logic sees the value of CC2 correctly, but whatever its value, the loudness of the note sound never changes.
I understand that the answer to that question might depend on the instrument under consideration. Then an example would be of great help.
Many thanks.

As it was suggested you can try CC11 or you can transform your existing CC2 to CC11. Patch a transformer between the Physical Input and the Sequencer Input in Click & Ports Environment layer and make the next settings in the transformer:
Conditions
Status=Control
Data Byte 1 (= 2)
Operations
Data Byte 1 (Fix 11)
It this scenario your incoming CC2 will be transformed into CC11 and you can control the Expression (CC11) of a software instrument if it responds to that controller at all ( some software instruments must be mapped previously to have such respond ). Note you will be able to control only the selected track this way.
You can try to use the Controller Assignment dialog and learn CC2 to control the "level" parameter of an instrument or its channel strip level fader, gainer plugin (which can be inserted in the top plugin slot) etc as well.

What is the best MIDI controller for Logic, and is Axiom Pro the only line with "Hyper Control?

What is the best MIDI keyboard/control surface to use with LOGIC (Studio - which I assume is the latest & greatest version) and is Axiom Pro the only line that has Hyper control? I already own the Axiom Pro 61, but prefer more keys, and though I like much about it, the keys aren't very easy for playing more complex material, and there is an obvious delay regarding attack response (esp. noticeable at faster speeds). There are other issues as well I've read of regarding key sticking (though I consider myself lucky mine do not, there is nontheless a sluggish clunckiness issue which neither helps agility/acuracy nor the delay factor.) and the unit not lasting very long before it breaks and needs repairing. And lastly, I am no fan of Avid and care not to support them in the least.

Sorry, but is this an iPad question? Axiom Pro 61 is not an iPad-compatible peripheral, so perhaps you mean to post in the Logic forum?

Using the xbox 360 controller in my java application

Wanted to know if there is a way to get the xbox 360 controller or the nintendo wii to work with my java application. Has anyone been able to access either controller using java.
Thanks
GradStudent

nope. you can use jinput to use game controllers... but only game controllers
that can be plugged in and have a driver.
i dont have any game systems, do the controllers have a usb attachment and computer drivers?

How do I use the Xbox 360 controller

Hello,
As everyone knows the XBOX 360 controller is the definitive controller for Windows gaming.
I'm working on two projects now. One in Flash and one in Unreal Engine. I thought,"Wouldn't it be great to work on three projects at once."
So the idea came to me that a comedic style hockey game could be made in Flash. Flash is great for action games, and the P2P networking(thought could have been done better) is just sufficient to make a good multiplayer experience.
I do not however want an action oriented hockey game without analog sticks. I've gotten the XBOX 360 controller to work in C/C++ in a Tekken Style Open Wolrd Game, and it was great. Where do I get the XBOX360 code to integrate them into a flash game?
,Jim

The GameInput API's for Actionscript 3.0. You can get when you download and install the Adobe Gaming SDK, after that you would need to import the SWC.

USB MIDI CONTROLLER- LOGIC PRO 7- I CAN SEE THE LIGHTS BUT NO SOUND OUT?

I just got logic pro 7.2 so i am very green, garage band automatically recognizes the usb midi controller and i can hear it,
in logic it recognizes it i can see the lights for sound levels but no sound is coming out, ive been trying to figure this out.

Heck, if loneliness is your thing... more power to ya!
now why cant i hear the midi
MIDI doesn't make a sound. You either need to assign a software instument to it or use an external device, all depending on the track you chose. If you, perhaps elaborate a little more as to what you did (typing with your caps lock released), there's a better chance of getting your problem solved. If you're hearing your recorded guitar, then there's a chance you selected the wrong type of track to record to as far as MIDI tracks go (there is a difference in Logic).

How can I play the VB3 organ with my MPK 49 midi controller?

Good afternoon, I'm trying to figure out how I CAN USE MY MPK49 midi controller to trigger the notes on VB3 organ plugin in Logic Pro X. Can anyone help? Thanks in advanced!!!

Set the MIDI channel ON THE ORGAN CHANNEL STRIP within Logic to channels 1,2, or 3 for upper. lower or pedals.

Best MIDI controller in the $100-$200 range

Hello,
I was at Best Buy today toying around with some of the 49 key M-Audio controllers and I really liked them! I'm getting more and more into composition recently and figure I'll need a MIDI controller at some point, so what's the best MIDI controller in the $100-$200 range? For usage with Logic Studio applications.
Thanks!

Hello,
I have an M-Audio Keystation 49e and I love it. It's great for composing and its pretty cheap... if you're a serious pianist/keyboardist I would recommend getting the larger (I think its 61 keys) model, but my 49 works great for me.
Plug and play!! no installation of anything required... my Mac recognized it instantly and it works great with Logic Studio

K8T NEO FIS2R can't use the RAID controller....

I have this very strange issue.
As soon as I connect a harddisk to the Promise (378) controller of this board and assign it to an array, the system doesn't work like it should.
Symptoms:
- MS Windiag (a memory testing application) reports thousands of errors
- Memtestx86 causes a spontaneous reset within seconds
- I can try to install Windows, but the process never completes; during the installation everything works really really slow (partial XP installation takes over 2 hours!)
- Linux gives me a kernel panic while booting
My system specs:
- MSI K8T Neo FIS2R (bios 1.5)
- Athlon 3000+
- 2x 512MB PQI memory (tested with GEIL/Kingston/Infineon memory as well, the problem persists!)
- Radeon 9700
- Levicom PSU (34A RMS on 12V line) (also tried Enermax 460W and Antec tru power 480W)
- 2x WD Raptor 36Gb (RAID 0 array 1)
- 2x Maxtor Diamond plus (RAID 0 array 2)
- 4x optical drive
I just can't figure out what's going on here... if I don't use the onboard RAID controller everything is fine.... but I need it for my two arrays... (besides that, it should work, shouldn't it?).
Is this perhaps just a bug in the BIOS of my system? If so... MSI please resolve this issue, my computer is worthless for the time being.. :(

YAY! This memory tester seems to work correctly..!
If I put a single module (PQI memory) in DDR slot 1 I get loads of errors. In slot 2 and 3 they work just fine. When combining two modules, using slot 2 and 3, I still get some errors (32, all above 1000Mb)... but it's the best I can get out of my 1Gb.
Is it safe to assume that this is a compatbility issue that can be fixxed by buying some supported memory?

Connecting MIDI controller via USB

Does anyone know how to connect a Roland SH-201 to a MacBook Pro via USB to use as a midi controller in Logic Express 8. I've installed the SH-201 driver, however I am getting a warning saying it is not compatible with an Intel based Macbook.
Just some general guidance in connecting a keyboard via USB to work within Logic Express 8 would be good.
Thanks.

Well, if the synth's USB driver is not compatible with your laptop's system, there is nothing you can do about it I'm afraid. There is always an option to get a portable USB to MIDI Interface (price would be around $20-50, I think) and connect your synth to Macbook Pro through it.

Alesis Midi Controller Keyboard setup with Logic Pro 8

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me... I'm a complete newbie!
Recently bought a Macbook with Logic Pro 8 and would like to get set up for some home recording. The keyboard I want to use as a midi controller is the Alesis QS6 which has been in the wardrobe for some time. I have a Midiman USB midi interface.
When I connect it all up, I can't get it to make any sounds from Logic, only from the keyboard itself, which I don't want. A friend suggested taking out one of the midi cables so now I have only Midi out from the keyboard running into Midi in on the Midiman. When I play the keyboard the notes register on the Transport bar and I can even record them but I cannot hear anything.
Can anyone tell me what settings I need to have on the Alesis? Should the Keyboard Mode be on Normal, CH Solo or Out 1,2,3...16? I read somewhere I need to turn General Midi off, does this sound right? Is it something to do with midi channels - I don't even know how to tell which midi channel is selected in Logic.
If anyone has experience with using the QS6 with Logic I would love to hear from you!!!
Thanks!

Run the Audio/MIDI Setup utility. Is your keyboard/MIDI interface displayed in there?
If not, OSX does not see your MIDI device. Install it's drivers if it has them. If it doesn't have any drivers, your MIDI config might have got hosed. What keyboard is it?
Unplug and replug it, directly, don't use a hub. Does it show up in the AMS utility now? Try powering it for an adapter, not from USB.
If you still get no joy, I'll give you some procedures to try...

M-audio axiom midi controller

just wondering if anyone out there can walk me through a couple things re: learning the axiom midi controller. works great with garage band but there are some things i'm having trouble figuring out.

GarageBand's control messages are non-standard (they would be, wouldn't they). These are the control messages you need to send for each transport function - the first is when the key is pressed, the second when it is released - possibly just the first would do.
All sent on Channel 1 (I think probably any channel would do):
RECORD
Controller 106 127
Controller 106 0
SKIP TO BEGINNING
Controller 107 127
Controller 107 0
SKIP BACK
Controller 108 127
Controller 108 0
PLAY
Controller 109 127
Controller 109 0
SKIP FORWARD
Controller 110 127
Controller 110 0
CYCLE
Controller 111 127
Controller 111 0
JOG FORWARD
Controller 24 1
JOG BACKWARD
Controller 24 127
The control messages for the channel level, pan, etc. are way non-standard - they use things like the breath control instructions - and I think that trying to use the Axiom to do mixing would be very difficult. The only controller that works well for all GB's functions is the iControl, designed specifically for it (but of course you still can't do automated mixing in any case, you can only do that by dragging the automation curves).

Problem with Yamaha PSR-550 as MIDI controller

Hi:
A friend lent me a Yamaha PSR-550 to use as a MIDI controller for Software Instruments, but I am having a few problems. My MIDI to USB interface is an M-Audio Uno 1x1. I have already used my Roland V-Accordion with no issues- it was plug and play. I assumed the same with the Yamaha and hooked it up but got no sound. Checking the 550's manual I saw that there were a few different templates for MIDI setup. The "Master Keyboard" looked right (using the keyboard strictly as a controller for MIDI data) but it gave me nothing. I tried the other templates too without success.
In GB help I read about Audio MIDI Setup, opened it, created a new device and connected the ins and outs but still got no sound from the keyboard and no indications in Test Setup. Then I downloaded a USB-MIDI driver for the Yamaha and installed that. Nothing. Reading some posts in the Discussions I swapped the MIDI in and out cables, although they specify "To MIDI In" &c. Still nothing. Finally I noticed that the M-Audio Uno is showing no activity coming from the keyboard. I tried all those templates again but am still seeing no signal from the 550. As an aside, I just noticed that when I click on the "New External Device" icon while in Test Setup mode the Out arrow from the Uno shows red and the Uno itself indicates that a signal is going out.
My question is whether I am doing something wrong in the PSR-550 setup, or if the MIDI out on the keyboard could possibly be bad. Thanks to everyone in advance for any help you can give me.

I am working without a net here (not at home where my Mac and Yamaha are), but I will TRY to lend some advice from my experience, and will try to confirm and clarify it tonight when I get home.
I go through the same problem every time I hook up my PSR-740 to my Mac. I too have a Uno 1x1. It usually takes some fiddling with all of the controls.
I seem to recall the main issue is within the Yamaha's setups and I don't know if the 550 has the same options as the 740. But, what I have to do is go into the MIDI Utility function on the 740 and make sure 2 functions are set a certain way - I believe one has to be External ('Control' function?) and the other may be 'Yes' to MIDI output?. Don't quote me on that yet and sorry for the vague answer. Hopefully I can set you straight later today.

Is there anyway to have an application use the output for Alerts/Sound Effects?

I am trying to set some applications to use the output designated for the System Alerts and Sound Effects, while other applications continue to use the regular Output? I am using the Audio MIDI Utility with Aggregate/Multiple Outputs.

An action can specify the resources that it needs, which will trigger alerts if they are not there. Assuming that the system resources are there, you can include actions in an application bundle - see the Installing Actions section of the Automator Programming Guide.
