Midi help needed... still
Instead of up-ing an already cumbersome thread, I thought it would be easier to follow a fresh one. I've gotten some good instructions from Uiop, but I'm still not able to record midi data. So far:
I've attempted to include my devices in the midi devices menu; however, my models weren't listed. The manufacturers were listed, but not the models. So I have 2 devices listed(DR770 drum machine & Yamaha PF1000 keyboard), chords connected in the diagrams, ect. I have midi in/out & out/in connected from PF1000 to 002 Rack. I have midi out from 002 Rack to midi in of DR770. I have midi out from DR770 to midi thru of PF1000. I have 1/4 cables from outs of PF1000 to ins of 002 Rack. I've created a midi track, set "in" to port 1 and "out" to port 1, all channels. I've created an aux track, set in to match the line connection of the keyboard and out to Analog 1-2. I've record enabled the midi track, but when I attempt to record, I only get a meter response on the aux track, not on the midi track. And no data is recorded to the midi track. My goal is to record midi data from the PF1000 into Pro Tools, edit the midi data, and finally transfer the midi data to an audio track using a PF1000 voice. When I get this to work, I'll apply all of your suggestions to recording midi data from the drum machine. Can you tell me what steps I've missed, connections, ect? Thanks

Re: Midi help needed... still
In the audio/midi set up have you connected the divices using the "virtuale" cables,,?,,Also clik on the icons of the divises and make sure you have enabled them to send and recieve on all 16 channels,,your 002 will probebly give you more channel options,,get this sorted and we'll go from there,,

Re: Midi help needed... still
a couple things to check
your midi cables as said , then rescan when you connect enable midi through enable beat clock for whatever is plugged to the 002 your I/O for midi when you setup your midi you should see that device in your midi in and out example roland d2 all channels 1 2 3 etc... when you setup your midi make sure you have all channels you need activated in more options |

JUST CHECKING
what operasting level you on ? is everthing configured in the hardware setup to the same level analogue outputs 1 & 2 are +4 while 3-8 are -10 might be the reason |

Uiop,
Yeah, I've connected the virtual cables and enabled all 16 channels.

Re: Midi help needed... still
Mersisblue,
What do you mean check the midi cables? To see if they're connected properly? Rescan? I do remember seeing the ability to enable midi thru. I'll make sure that I did that(I won't be in front of the machine for another 1 1/2 hours). I did enable the beat clock. I did see my devices in the midi in/out menu. I reported that incorrectly in my initial post. Port 1 should read PF1000. By the way, does it matter that my models weren't abailable when setting up the virtual devices? And in more options, I have 1-16 channels activated. Operating level? Not sure what you're referring to, so I wouldn't know if everything is set to the same level. Pardon the ignorance. This may be clearer I get in front of the machine. I thought 1-4 were the same and 5-8 were -10. Either way, the PF1000 is always plugged into 1 & 2, DR770 into 3 & 4. My set up is fairly simple. I almost always use inputs 1-4. When miking guitar/bass amps, I bump everything over 2 inputs, but... Everything worked fine when recording audio. Would that mean it's OK for midi?

Re: Midi help needed... still
"I have midi out from DR770 to midi thru of PF1000." I think this is part of your problem. Correct me if I'm wrong but, the thru is like the copy of the "in" going "out" so it's like you have a out going into another out. In my set up I have the keyboard out to the 001 in, 001 out to synth in, synth thru to sampler in.

Re: Midi help needed... still
Could be. Wouldn't that be irrelevant though? If I'm trying to record from the PF1000 and I have in/out & out/in connections between it and the 002 Rack, the thru from the PF1000 to the DR770 shouldn't matter...
But I'll disconnect it. I'll take the DR770 out of the picture for now. When I get the PF1000 to send midi data properly, I'm sure I'll be able to apply the knowledge to the DR770.

Re: Midi help needed... still
Anybody?
I'm actually in front of the computer so I can act on any suggestions as they're given. Presentissues: In the Audio/Midi Set Up, I have Clock selected. I'm not sure what to do about: Midi Time Code Features-->General Midi and Midi Machine Control SysEx ID As of right now, I'm not getting meter activity on the midi track. The aux track's meter reacts and I hear the keyboard, but no action on the midi track. On the midi track, I have all selected for in. For out, the only options are the 2 devices I've set up. I have the keyboard selected, but like I said, the model for my keyboard was not listed when I set up my device in the audio/midi set up. Mersisblue, I now see where Rescan Midi is. What should I be doing with that? I'm very anxious to record using midi. I know this will make editing much easier, and I need that. I haven't recorded anything since I've attempted to use midi. It's going on 2 weeks. I desperately need help. Thanks in advance.
