Rogier Tuinte Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 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 Rogier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasL Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasL Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogier Tuinte Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogier Tuinte Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 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).
