no midi in-out

spawn · Post by **spawn** » Thu Apr 14, 2005 3:57 pm

hello
first of all i want to tell you that i am not a musician, i am an system admin, wich take care of a studio computers, so please be patient with me

now my problem:
my employer use a creamware pulsar 2 with an asus p4p800 mb, scope fusion 4 , and for midi a korg pa1xpro keyboard

now, everything is ok except the midi in-out
they( sound people ) say that they use the routing in scope corectly, but is no midi in or out..nothing
we put the korg, and route a monitor on the midi-in input..nothing
i instaled w2k in "raw" mode..meaning standard pc, no power management, no irq shared, no other device.. everything in bios set down if unused( onboard sound card for example)
we checked the cables, everything is ok
i have to say that this creamware worked well on other pc, lower than that..( some p3...)

maybe is some software setting they don't do well, i do not know how to use the scope soft, and if you can give me some advice please tell me like i am a stupid low iq annoing whatever you want..
maybe i am

thanks a lot for your patience..

You may find a quicker answer to your problem if you post in the Problem Solving forum

I can't really offer any advice to this one, although I should point out that modern motherboards should be installed in ACPI mode.

And read the bit in the manual about physical midi source/dest and sequencer midi source/dest if you haven't already.

please tell me more about :
"make sure you loaded the fitting midi source midi dest I/Os (not luna, not scope but pulsar)
In 4.0 i think its scope project (not home not professional)"
maybe this is my "bug"
thnx

Stardust points to a possibly faulty install, as there are three types of (main) Creamware cards, from basic to max.
As the midi-in port worked on another pc, I would try a decent re-install of the Pulsar2 software.
It's a weird problem tho

i've heard some rumours that there's problems with voltage on midi-interface which is still is not in standart, so some devices may be incompatible, try another keyboard or use Thru-function of some device, it will help

i don't wanna look like somebody that started a discution and run in the middle of it, but this week there is a lot of work at the studio and there is no room for "that freak computer guy"

next week, at the end i established to study the midi problem and i will tell you the results
