well, with this one, I think I might graduate as the idiot of the year, but I can't help being chased by this question, which, believe it or not, I haven't fully answered so far:

WHAT IS MIDI REALLY FOR?

OK, I'm sure this must be simple, but I don't know how to do this. I am running Cubase SX and I also use Finale alot. What I want to be able to do is use Finale and write parts there for marimba and have it play back with marimba sounds that I have recorded myself.

Alright, here's my problem. I can't get my drum machine into Pro Tools via the Digi 001. I have no idea what the problem is. I have the out of the drum machine to the in of the 001, and vice versa, but nothing is happening. The drum machine is a Alesis SR-16 (if that matters). Can someone please help me with what I need to do to get my MIDI to work in Pro Tools, with my PC? Thanks.

Hello folks,

I just got my MIDI keyboard, finally, a Radium 61 connected via USB cable, and I'm
completely happy with it. I'm using the latest driver from M-audio.

Hopefully someone can tell me why Steinberg does not give support to its registered users.They just don't give a sh.. .I asked several times for help giving them my serialnumber and e-mail but no answer.Anyway, my midi event masking function does not work and I do not know why. All the software is legit and registered.Please help?

Hello guys! I'm from Argentina and thrilled to be here for the first time. I've got a question regarding some noise I get when I connect an electrical piano via MIDI to a synthesiser which in turn is connected to the computer so as to record all intruments from it.

Has anyone experienced this before using a MOTU MTP? I have no problems w/ midi data, just the midi clock distribution. So for the time being, I've substituted using the midi I/O from my Layla card. Ended up having to daisy chain everything that uses midi clock, which was no problem. Has anyone run into this senario yet? :?

I am looking for a hardware midi mixer with which I can quickly change the midi channel my keyboard transmits from and also the midi channel my software (Garritan Personal Orchestra and Cubase SX) recieves on.It should also have a few effect contols such as modulation wheel which my keyboard does not have and reverb depth etc.

I have a Yamaha WX5 wind MIDI controller using a Yamaha VL 70-m tone generator, and a Roland A37 MIDI keyboard.

I will be recording with the Roland SI 24/RPC PRO Studio Package.

Can I record both on separate tracks, but played in simultaneously?

I just got the Tascam FW-1884 last week. I hooked it up to my computer. I use Digital Performer (version 4.12) with it. Previously, I had a M-Audio Midiman 4x4 that did my MIDI. The computer is a digital audio G4 with 2x533Mhz proc's and 1.1 GB of RAM. It has MacOS X.3, but was upgraded from X.2. (X.2 was a fresh install however)
