CreamWare Midi In/Out is lost in Logic

As the subject says... in Cubase it is visible and working, but in Logic it is not? Any Logic gurus here?

go check in win.ini file, find a section logic, all port which are NOT set to 1 are disabled

Have you connected the physical midi input to the sequencer midi input in Logic's "click and ports" page in the environment?

peace

I am having the same problems since I upgraded my DAW. Every time logic is started, in the beginning 2 error messages are displayed saying that scope midi is not installed and midi will be disabled.

In my project midi is available.

Btw my setup is:
Motherboard asus P4PE (SATA, Gigabit lan)
Intel P4 2.6
512 MB DDR RAM
64 MB Geforce Mx 4 video card

Software:
XP Pro release 2002, incl servicepack 1
SFP 3.1c
Logic 5.2
Soundforge 6.0

Is it maybe the motherboard? Never had this problem in older boards.

Hi,

I think its only a software configurationproblem !!

Please check in the devicemanager how many midiports are enabled.
If it is set to `2` you have to load 2 times the sequencer midisource and dest- modules into your projectwindow.

Now open the win.ini and search for [logic].
Set all cw - midiports to =1.

Should work !!

I tried this but no results. Midi is still disabled in logic.

This is really weird.

Jems, upgrade Logic to 5.51, see if that helps

Alright friends,

The midi problem is solved. It has something to do with XP service pack 1. Somehow Microsoft managed to fuck up the midi path of logic, thats why it fails to lock with creamware midi devices.

And yes upgrading to logic 5.5 helps too, thanks for the tip Paul.

But I am switching to Cubase SX, got a great deal.

Thanks for the help all.

Jem, I hope you are still here

WHat exactly is the problem with XP service pack 1?

I get a MIDI drivers not installed on my second Pulsar 2 card every time I open Logic, for some reason. I can do MIDI just fine. I just wnat to get rid of the annoying message when I start up Logic.

I don't think it's just a Logic problem. Periodically my midi port "disappears" in Gigastudio using a Creamware Pulsar 2 card, Windows XP Pro SP-1, SFP 3.1c, Gigastudio 2.5x (I tested 4 different versions on two different machines with similar results). When this happens, The audio outputs are also grayed out and no audio will go out. Sometimes a series of reboots will fix it, sometimes not. Also, when this happens, SFP's "midi monitor" module shows no midi coming in. IMHO this is a Creamware bug which I am able to reproduce on two different machines (P4 and Athlon). What really bugs me is that support@creamware.com doesn't respond, not evven an automated response.

Hi Guys,

got the same problem. But when I installed XP fresh, everything worked fine. So somewhere along the way this problem occured. The only way to get around it, is the deinstall the pulsar card from device manager. Then reboot and XP finds the new hardware and looks for a driver. I put in the path of my sfp dir and XP installes the card new and then it works. But after rebooting it doesn`t work again.
Don`t know what the hell that is, but it can not be a SP1 bug cause after a new install af XP with SP1 it worked for two month.
Hope that helped
