MIDI Node: Limitless MIDI In 1

[Saucy CT]

I suspect that I am missing something simple here, but I cannot find anything about this other than the bit about MIDI into plugins in the 2019.5 Avid Plugin guide. I have LIMITLESS on a master insert and no audio is reaching it (I tried on individual channels as well and same issue persists). At the top of the plug window, above the DMG logo (so I am assuming this info comes from Pro Tools) it says: "MIDI Node: Limitless MIDI In 1"

I have tried everything I can think of and have searched for a solution. Perhaps someone can school me here?

iMac Pro running Catalina, Pro Tools 2021.12, Limitless v1.14
Midi Thru enabled/disabled doesn't cure
I have removed "Learn" CC stuff (how do I/can I see a list of these?)

thanks for any help here. very appreciated.

The message is simply telling you that if you want to send a MIDI signal to it, that's how it will appear in the list of MIDI destinations. Presumably, one or more of Limitless's parameters can be controlled with CC data or the like. Either that, or it can distribute MIDI data to other destinations. Is Limitless like Audreio, a plugin that passes audio to a network destination or something?

Limitless is a limiter. Midi should have nothing to do with it passing audio.

My question to the OP: was this master bus passing audio before you put limitless on it?

I have no idea if this pertains to your issue, but every now and then an audio track (I don't use midi) with a DMG plug (Equality) just won't pass audio. I delete the track and reinsert the plug and it works. Again, not sure this is your problem but sometimes this has happened to me.

So sorry, because I was so stupid.

I had been running the demo of Limitless and it expired, so it was no longer passing audio. I thought I had purchased it, however I had only purchased TrackLimit (was going to get both, but started with TrackLimit).

Yes, this was placed on the master buss, but also on tracks to try to figure it out.

Yes, you CAN pass MIDI to a plugin (From page 521 of PT Reference Guide v7.0):

"MIDI Node Display Shows MIDI node information for MIDI-enabled plug-ins. MIDI nodes are virtual connections from Pro Tools to software instruments and other MIDI-enabled plug-ins. MIDI nodes are useful for routing multiple MIDI tracks to different channels of a single virtual MIDI device. MIDI node numbers are also displayed in a track’s MIDI Output selector."

Thanks all for comments! Appreciated.
