Newbie with MBox2 Mini - Setup MIDI Ctrl
Good day DUC people!
I am new to Pro Tools (ver8) and have just done a few test audio tracks. Now I wanted to connect my MIDI kybd controller, which is an older one - Evolution MK-249C. However it has a USB connector, so does that mean I can just plug it directly into my computer USB port for PTools to recognize it? I have d-loaded and installed the kybd driver, rebooted, restarted PT... nothing so far. Am I going to have to get a MIDI interface? Thanks in advance for your advice and support. Cheers! Andy |

You should have received this document with your Mbox Mini. Note the section on setting up MIDI studio. You have tell PT what the control surface is you're using.

Re: Newbie with MBox2 Mini - Setup MIDI Ctrl
DonaldM,
I did receive the setup guide and I did go thru it, but thanks for the e-copy. I also d-loaded the manual for my kybd - a controller only - and it allows for resetting the USB port to send MIDI msgs. What I don't see is where I, as you say, "tell PT what the control surface is (that) you're using." However, I notice you don't list a specific MIDI interface in your gear list, and you also use the MBox2 Mini + PT8. Do any of your kybds plug into your PC via USB and get recognized in PT? Did you have to specify them to PT somehow? Do you use an actual "MIDI Interface" as opposed to the one on the kybd itself? Perhaps I just have to get used to all the jargon and play around a bit more...?! BTW - Thanks so much for your reply. These probably sound like stupid 'newbie' questions, right?! ...sorry! A |

If USB MIDI isn't available, you'll have to hook up via the MIDI out/in of your keyboard to your computer. And then use MIDI studio to set that up.

Thanks again for taking the time. I went and got a USB MIDI interface just in case, and I managed to get the ctl msgs going with that. I suspect it would've worked anyway - found the "Setup>Peripherals" page and it was already there... some testing to do, but having fun now!! =) Thanks bud! Cheers! A
