MIDI Out signals stop sending, restart when I unplug/replug cable
I have Protools HD on a G4 867. I send/receive MIDI signals to/from a Kurzweil K2600 keyboard/synth (via a Fastlane USB connector, thru a Midiman Thru 3x8)
Sometimes my MIDI signals out from Protools to the K2600 suddenly stop sending. For example, this morning I transposed MIDI data in a track, and then hit play and I got no MIDI signals out. Other times, I don't know what initiates the problem. I can see that the problem is in Protools/computer (rather than the K2600) because I see no flashing lights on the Midiman 3x8. I can solve the problem each time it occurs by disconnecting the USB cable at the Fastlane, then reconnecting it. How can I prevent this from happening? I get tired of disconnecting/reconnecting the cable!! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Thanks, Mike |

Re: MIDI Out signals stop sending, restart when I unplug/replug cable
Hi! I use an mtp Av usb with a G4 800 Qs, PT 5.1.1/OS 9.2. Soemtimes it does happen on here. I use the midi out front panel of my mtp to send SPP/beat clock to an xp80/Jw50. I have tested cables, checked everything I amaware of.
One solution is reboot everything... [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: MIDI Out signals stop sending, restart when I unplug/replug cable
Alecio,
By reboot, you mean restart, or shutdown and start? This usually solves the problem temporarily, but not for long. Prior to the last few days, this would occur only maybe once every week or two. For the last few days, it has been occurring several times a day. I just don't know what has changed to increase the frequency of occurrance. Thanks, Mike |

Re: MIDI Out signals stop sending, restart when I unplug/replug cable
I really need help on this now. I am getting NO MIDI signals out of ProTools/computer now, regardless of what I do.
I happened to have installed the Sony Oxford Dynamic and Inflator plug-ins the same day this started. Could this have somehow caused this problem?? ANY advice would be appreciated. I am out of business untill I can figure this out. Thanks, Mike |

Re: MIDI Out signals stop sending, restart when I unplug/replug cable
Alecio,
I have done all of these MANY times: -restart -shutdown cold and start -unplug/replug all cables -Try different memory allocations for ProTools and DAE The more I think about it, the more I tie it to the Sony plug-ins. It is too big a coincidence for this to have started occurring (except for occasional events earlier) on the same day I installed the plug-ins. However, having gone throught the time-consuming process to get them installed and authorized, I don't really want to take them off the system to test if they are the problem! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] Maybe I'll have to, though. Any other thoughts? Thanks, Mike |

Re: MIDI Out signals stop sending, restart when I unplug/replug cable
Mike,
What OS and Pro Tools version are you running? I don't think is related to the Sony plug-ins. If your on OS X check to see if there is an updated driver for the MIDI interface. You may also want to try creating a new OMS or AMS setup. If your using the interface on a USB hub try connecting it directly to the Mac instead. Also try removing other USB devices. Mike |

Re: MIDI Out signals stop sending, restart when I unplug/replug cable
ProTools 5.3.1 on G4 867 w/OS 9.2.2.
Is the MIDI interface driver possibly a problem with 9.2.2? It has worked fine since I went to OS 9. The OMS setup looks fine to me. Worth redoing? The MIDI connection goes: G4 keyboard to Fastlane USB-to-MIDI hub, to MidiMan 3x8, to Kurzweil K2600. I can't remove the Fastlane since it is my USB-to-MIDI converter. I can tell I am getting no MIDI signals from the G4 because I see no flashing lights at the Fastlane and the MidiMan. Any other suggestions? Rats, this is frustrating.

Re: MIDI Out signals stop sending, restart when I unplug/replug cable
It is weird. I don´t think it would be a problem with the MTP AV driver...
I bought mine in 2001 and have been using it until today with no upgrades...yes, also under OS 9.2/PT 5.1.1.
