    “Live Jukebox” using MIDI to run MS Excell, (or word)

    It must have taken you a loooooong time to type all that --- unless you're as good a typist as you probably are an engineer... First of all, the answer to you question is yes, but not in the way you have it cooked up in your head. You are correct that midi fits the bill as a control protocol...

    Advice on Midi software for live performance

    Yep. Go to KVR and search for 'free host', 'can host' and 'VST' and push search. I did it just to make sure it worked as I thought it would, and the one I recommend you start with is Topten Software's free Cantabile. There's also a free app called 'Anvil Studio' that I've never used but looks...

    MIDI limits on cubase LE5

    You would need that to be handled within Cubase. It may have a built in Mackie HUI protocol but I can't imagine a cut down Cubase supporting the commands you're seeking from the controllers you're using. If I may make a reccommendation, google Reaper. It's full featured and offers a 60 day...

    Ensoniq kmx-8

    I don't think it's a power problem. Have you gone over the global page (or whatever Ensoniq calls it) for midi data filters, trasmission channel and such? If it will drive an external hardware module there's no good reason it won't send a midi signal into your interface. Keep looking. As far...

    Akai S3000XL Sampler

    According to my reading of the manual there are two pages involved and each one has a separate level column. Try turning down the level on the Mix page and leaving at 99 on the Out page and see if that works.

    Looking to emulate MIDI sound from old computer sound cards

    You're not looking for 'MIDI' emulation, you're looking for 'ChipTunes'. Here's a link to a Casio freeware VL-Tone Casio VL-Tone Emulator | PolyValens, And here's where I found it: VSTPLANET - VST Plugins Free - Virtual instruments and effects. No reason to spend anymore money or time on this...

    Cool. Glad it's working for you!

    Wracking my brain about Midi set up.

    No. It's $60 for a 'personal' license.

    Sending Bank and Program change messages with a Roland MC-500 MkII sequencer

    Try this - google 'MidiOx' and download it. This is the still best midi data manipulation tool available now and it's a least 20 years old. Go into your XV-5080 manual and see what it needs to see as far as bank/program change messages. Then it's MidiOx time. Set up the midi continuous...

    Ok, I'm a MIDI tard, and I need help.

    First of all, calm down. This is a simple thing and I'm here to help you thru it! Midi triggers drum sounds by sending out note numbers. The Kick is usually found at midi note 36 and the snare is usually found at note 38. There are disagreements among manufactures about what the location of...

    Wracking my brain about Midi set up.

    Try setting the JX8p to midi channel 1. Also, if there is an option to reset the midi channel on EZ Drummer to 1, do so. And in my experience as a Reaper user, clicking 'yes' to the 'assign multiple outputs?' question that pops up when you choose the EZ Drummer just complicates things as it...

    Mackie MCU (Original), Logic Pro 9, and power supply HELP!!!

    If the size and shape of the plug is about right, I'd feel confident investing another $24.99 to see if your Mackie MCU works. You may have found a bargain, but without a power supply you'll never know...

    Using Novation Zero SL Mk2 with Ableton (non-automap) help...!

    I think the driver software for the Zero SL Mk2 is built into the Automap app making it impossible for your computer to even see it without using Automap. You don't NEED to use any of the Automap functionality except for the knobs and sliders you choose within Ableton. Automap works - at least...

    Samson Graphite 49 (Mapping)

    First, if you haven't already, d/l the manual and the sofware update from Samson HERE. Then go into 'change' mode - or whatever Samson calls it - and try setting the stop key to cc 158 and the play key to cc 159. These are the Midi Machine Control (MMC) numbers. If those work in FL Studio, the...

    Newbie software question

    I agree. What you're asking for doesn't exist. If it did exist it wouldn't be freeware.

    Which MIDI Keyboard Controller?

    Of the ones you listed the two to consider are the Axiom 61 and and the Axiom AIR 61. The Axiom Pro series are already discontinued and there was some talk of problems with them. I use an Axiom 25 - the old one - and I really like the keys. They say in a NAMM vid that they haven't changed the...

    USB Midi Latency?

    He spent TONS of money on that custom-built computer. If he follows my recommendations he will spend a little bit more and have a fully functional setup that he won't need to monitor through headphones.

    Ok. Conversion question!

    Midi files are just triggers. A standard midi file is a series of triggers, but carries no sound. So, no, you're not onto something here. The KT drum trigger is set up as a detection VST for replacing existing drum parts, not for triggering single .wav files. There is a bullet-proof sampler...

    USB Midi Latency?

    The way to utilize the internal sounds from your cdp-120 is through an external mixer. Plug the outputs of the keyboard into the mixer and connect the mixer to your speakers - which you're tring to avoid buying, if I read your posts correctly. You'll need to plug the outputs of scarlett 2|4...

    Akai S3000XL Sampler

    Sure you can. Just plug the midi out of the mpd to the midi in of the s3000xl. Being a machine released in 1995, it's got a miniscule memory compared to today's machines, but if you stick with 16-bit drum samples you'll find the availble memory to be adequate. It's got a floppy disk drive so a...
