Hi,
My setup is this: Cubase 5.1R1, Pulsar 1 + SRB, Version 3.01.
I've installed Giga Sampler on the same machine, and connected GSIF to my mixer in Pulsar and Made the hardware routing arrangements in GS, but still.....no sound. Does anyone know what are all the steps i have to take to make this work?

More info needed:

What does your Giga hardware routing say about midi port inputs? Is it registering the Pulsar card's midi socket?

When you play the virtual keyboard, do keys go blue?

When you play on your master keyboard, does the green midi port light flash red? (I'm referring to Gigastudio, so this may not apply).

You might also try posting your query on the Tascam board for Gigastudio.

Chadwick,
Sorry for replying so late .


"What does your Giga hardware routing say about midi port inputs? Is it registering the Pulsar card's midi socket?" --- yes it does. I can pick between creamware midi outputs1 or 2.

"When you play the virtual keyboard, do keys go blue? " ------ no they don't

When you play on your master keyboard, does the green midi port light flash red? (I'm referring to Gigastudio, so this may not apply). - you were right - it is Gigastudio, and it does flash red

1. uninstal giga
2. make project with "gsif" connected to mixer and "pulsar 2 midi source" conected to "sequencer midi dest 1" - to be sure that you always have this project in background (while instaling and after reboot) you can temporary save this project like startup and default.
3. instal giga again
4. when you run giga first time you must do asociation for sequencer to cubase.exe.
5. load sound and play

now giga must work alone and with cubase

Shabisan,

As I understand it, you must be getting midi into giga because the red light flashes. The question is, why don't you get blue keys on the virtual keyboard when you play?

Is it possible that you're loading sounds into port two, but playing port one?

I had a problem once where this was happening and found that even though I had a valid midi interface assigned to ports one and two, the interface assigned to port three was not valid. Because there was one bad assignment the other two didn't work. Try removing the four port assignments in the hardware page, hit apply, then assign one valid input to port one - say creamware 1. Maybe that'll help.

What Sandrob says is the right way to make the connections.
