M-Audio Uno midi interface

[Rogier Tuinte]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to connect a M-Audio Uno midi controller to a Watchout input.

I installed the drivers in Windows 7 SP1 64 bit

Using the midi-ox tool, i receive midi note and control messages from the Uno controller.

In the Watchout production software i enabled the Midi show control option and set the correct Device ID.

When I click the learn button in the Midi controller input dialog, Watchout is not receiving a midi input....

Am I missing something?

 

Kind regards

Hello Roger,

 

MIDI Note is not MIDI Show Control. Two different things/protocols and codes.

 

For WO Production to read/learn the MIDI Notes, enable TCP/IP Production Computer Control.in Files > Preferences > Control

abd

Ensure that your MIDI Controller is sending to MIDI Port 1 because, if I'm not wrong, Watchout will only listen to inputs from that port.

 

Hope that works for you,

ThomasL

Apologies, correction.

Enabling the TCP/IP Control is not required in the case of MIDI Notes. Merely ensure your MIDI Controller sends out via port 1 and Watchout will respond.

Oops. I thought the midi interface was the only interface connected to the production machine but i forgot the sound card with midi interface. So the M-Audio Uno interface was on port 2 and the sound card on port 1.

Thanks

It seems to me that a option for selecting the midi input device ID in Watchout is a must. In windows 7 it's difficult / not possible to change the id's of the attached midi devices. In our system for example we've a sound card with midi input and a external usb midi controller. By default windows assign ID1 to the sound card. I'm not able to change the ID. So the midi input from the sound card is id 1 (which Watchout use).
