Re: Editor - Error Initializing MIDI Engine
Hi,
I know this is an old thread but wanted to elaborate as I feel the Avid line isn't exactly the correct way to resolve this issue per se. It is true that creating a new user will solve this but it is also true that this is a 'sledgehammer to crack a nut' approach. We don't have time to migrate all these settings and preferences when the user account isn't the cause of the fault. The issue is due to the Avid midi setting that is created by default when you first turn on the Avid 11 rack. Quit pro tools, turn off the 11 rack and remove the 11 rack setting that is currently greyed out in your audio/midi settings. Turn on the 11 rack and you will see that it creates a new setting in your configuration window. In some cases, this will solve the 'Error Initializing MIDI Engine' when using the Eleven rack editor, a better approach is to create a new Midi configuration . Go to /Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup and under 'window' click 'show midi window' This will bring up your midi set up, on the left you have a configuration drop down which will probably be set to Default. Drop this menu down and create new, name the configuration. You will have to set up your devices again but when you start or plug in your USB devices it will create new settings. This will solve the 'Error Initializing MIDI Engine' error when starting up Eleven rack Editor. Hope this helps Thanks, Stuart

Re: Editor - Error Initializing MIDI Engine
Just an FYI that solved my issue when I received this error. I had the Eleven Rack plugged into a USB dongle that was plugged into the Mac. I actually just plugged the Eleven Rack usb chord directly into the Mac and it solved the problem.

Re: Editor - Error Initializing MIDI Engine
It's October 31, 2020 (the 11R Editor is waaaaay overdue an update; it's several OS's behind on Mac), and I couldn't get 11R Editor working all of a sudden on my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019). So I figured I'd add this post to help anyone else struggling in the 2020s.
I just followed the User Guide's specific steps on installing the driver (I just related the steps to a Mac OS). The key, I think, was leaving the USB unplugged until the computer restarted. Here's the exact process I got this to work for Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7: 1. Unplug 11R USB from computer 2. Make sure 11R power is OFF 3. Uninstall/Re-install 11R Driver (the one appearing in System Prefs) 4. Allow computer to restart after reinstalling 11R driver 5. Once the computer has restarted, turn on 11R 6. Plug 11R USB back into dedicated USB port (directly in computer, NOT a USB hub) 7. Restart once more 8. Launch 11R Editor and it should work. You’ll know it’s working if you see the Load screen running with the progress bar as it’s indexing the rigs. Sadly, I feel it's only a matter of time before the 11R Editor becomes obsolete. It would be nice to see someone else (like ToneLib) either take over the development or create a completely new editor design, even if it's just for the sake of saving/loading rigs & presets. Hope this helps someone else, Eric Beaty |

Re: Editor - Error Initializing MIDI Engine
So there's a new driver https://avid.secure.force.com/pkb/ar...n-Rack-Drivers
After installation & reboot, I don't get the MIDI error but I get a communication error. What's next ...?
