MIDI Drums
A friend brought his electronic drums to my studo today. ATV aD5.
For the life of me I can't get MIDI information into Pro Tools. I tried to set up the aD5 as a MIDI Input Device, but it's not on the Pro Tools MIDI Input Device menu. It's connected by USB cable to a USB 2.0 port on my computer. I tried replacing the USB cable. I read the manual for PT and for the aD5. What other steps can I take? |

Re: MIDI Drums
Look into Audio MIDI setup of your computer.

Re: MIDI Drums
One of the first things I tell people when they're having MIDI troubles is to get some kind of MIDI monitor program. This would run standalone and tell you if there's incoming data and what that data is. With this it would at least let you know if the MIDI is getting into the computer.
And of course when it comes to USB ports on a Windows machine I tell people to check that any power savings measure for them is turned off in Windows Control Panel. Even on a desktop computer Windows by default turns off the USB ports after a while. |

Re: MIDI Drums
Is it set up under Setup>Midi>Midi Studio? That's the menu that matters
