Hi everyone
Im at my wits end here Im using 2 pieces of hardware and 2 pieces of software, so where to go and ask questions? I saw some good answers in here so I'll try my luck with you guys
Im trying to connect my Yamaha DTXplorer drumkit to my Mac (OS X 10.5.8) using a ESI MIDI MATE cable. The input is caught using MidiPipe and relayed to OSCulator, that will distribute it further later on.
When using MidiPipe to print out everything received from the MIDI MATE cable I get only "Program Change - data:192 1 (dec)" continuously (in the AList view in midipipe), whatever pad I hit or pedal I activate, the "Program Change - data:192 1" changes to "Pitch Wheel - data:224 0 0" this is the only thing I can get out of the kit.
I then turn on OSCulator, standard settings, OSCulator then shows up in midiPipe and can be selected as an output, seems fine. So input = ESI MIDI MATE and output = OSCulator:8000, But OSCulator never registers any events/messages? I have used OSCulator before and there is not much one can do other that "wait for something else to activate it".
Can it be that my drum kit sends out something wrong that neither midipipe or OSCulator understands?
/* annoying side note
I accidently started the Audio MIDI setup app from Apple (for the first time in my life) and this lead to another strange thing. When starting this application my ESI MIDI MATE cable shows up as a MIDI input/output and everything is fine, then I close Audio MIDI setup and play around with OSCulator and MidiPipe, after around 20 min. the ESI MIDI MATE suddenly becomes a MIDI output only! in all applications. Which I can't really use because there is no MIDI in on my drum kit. I then have to open Audio MIDI setup, delete my configuration, make a new configuration with some arbitrary name, have it rescan the MIDI and everything works fine again. This is really strange and not something I would risk if I where to use this setup live*/
I know it is a bit in the periphery of OSCulator related topics, but I see a lot of people in here with experience and OSCulator is the glue to so many other applications
Thanks for any suggestions and help You can give me
