Pro Tools Update 9.0.5 Help! Midi Killed

[edisonmusic]

I updated to Pro Tools 9.0.5 yesterday. I am running OSX 10.6.8. Midi is not working correctly. I have a Yamaha Controller hooked by USB to the Mac. If I make an instrument track with the plug in and play the keyboard I see nothing (usually there's an indicator of midi activity). When I record on the track notes appear but the plug in does not react i.e. no sound. On playback the midi notes I just recorded play on the plug in.

I have trashed the prefs, downloaded the latest midi driver from Avid, tried removing plug ins (I did update a few that were causing other troubles namely Flux and Isotope). The Audio-Midi driver shows the correct midi setup including my interfaces. Please help! I need midi to work.

I have been seeing this in my studio lately too and it has been extremely annoying. I'm not sure where it came from. I am on 8.1.1, so it may not necessarily be a 9.0.5 issue.

For me, I find that I usually solve the problem by going to my Audio Midi Set-up and even though I will see my device there, it will only start working again in Pro Tools when I click on the "Rescan MIDI" icon. Then things seem to work again.

Let us know if that temporarily solves the problem. It still pops up on me quite a bit.

I'm having the exact same issue. VERY annoying. I just upgraded to 9.0.5. Must be a bug. Avid, any ideas???

Avid...are you out there?

I'm having the same issue. It seems to be a 10.6.8 issue based on what I'm hearing from you guys... I have a show on Friday and I'm about to not have midi tracks for it... very very bad...... Also, I have not been able to get it to play back at all.

Have any of you tried trashing the specific MIDI preferences per the info in one of the replies in the General Troubleshooting thread? What about testing from a different admin account?
