[samrisio]

figure out the midi settings..i am using a yamaha p200 keyboard and have a roland xv2020 hooked up thru a midisport 2X2...the module is louder than the yamaha piano when recording into PT...where should the midi channels be set? i have it on 1 with local off on the controller (yamaha) should sample tank be on 1 also? or 2? appreciate the help and i will payback if i can

samrisio,

Just to be sure, you're using the yamaha to control a sound in Sampletank & to control a piano sound in the Roland. You have the audio out of the Roland into an Mbox/002r? Are you clipping on the piano track? Make sure the Sampletank sound volume is turned up, default is 64, try 100 or so.

i have all on input...stereo in and out on the aux track...local off and midi channel one on the yamaha controller keyboard...midi channel on the roland xv2020 sound module..midi thru enabled in pro tools...record button on in midi track..aux track plug in has sampletank on it..what channel should the midi out be on for sampletank? what should it be in sync with? should my controller be on the same channel? help!

Let's just get Sampletank working for now, don't worry about the Roland yet.

Load a sound into Sampletank Channel 1, on the midi channel set the input to All & the output to Channel 1 of Sampletank. Record enable the midi track. Bring up the volume on the aux track with Sampletank on it up to 0.0. You should be hearing something...

again..what am i doing wrong?

[scottedog]

On the midi menu in ProTools do you have midi thru checked?

[scottedog]

Make sure your midi 2x2 is selectable as an input on the midi track. Other than that check your connection to the 2x2, midi cables, USB cable. If all that is ok then I'm as stumped as you.

everything seems set but does not read...who knows? the only question is all vs midi channel one? should the sampletank be set to a different midi channel than everything else?
