aml4 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I'm playing an old yamaha with midi I/O through an M-Audio Firewire Audiophile on Cubase SE (on a PC w/2GB of ram). I hit record and the midi notes register in the meter fine and play back with whatever instrument I select. But when I go to record again the the notes don't even show up on the meter and I cant make it work no matter what I do except to restart the computer. After I restart it, it work fines for only one track again. Does anyone have any idea about what could be the problem? Is it the keyboard? Drivers? I'd appreciate any help, its kind of hard to write a song when you have to restart your computer between every take haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Golly Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Just a guess, but it sounds like (possibly) you're trying to record multiple MIDI channels on a keyboard that's not multitimbral (or at least is not set in a multitimbral mode). In other words, you're recording a piano track on MIDI channel 1, and then you switch Cubase to track 2, and nothing happens when you play the keyboard or try to record that track. Is that about right? If this isn't a correct diagnosis, you'll need to provide more specific information about what you're using to generate the sound, how you've got it set up, and what steps exactly you're taking to do what you're doing.

Byrdman Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Will it play any other MIDI files using another program? (ie drop out of Cubase and play some MIDI off the web) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_Maestro Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I had this exact problem with Cubase SE when I was first learning it. What I did to solve my problem is to set the Out source in Cubase SE from Microsoft Midi Mapper to your sound card that your using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Horne Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I just saw the film Crash. If you really intend to shoot your computer, don't buy the bullets in the red box.

Your PSR keyboard is a home/consumer product, and does not support playback of multiple sounds (in keyboard parlance, it is not multitimbral). You will only be able to record and playback a single MIDI channel. Your only option is to record the audio from the PSR on the first track, then record the audio of the second track, and so on and so forth.

Mr. Nightime Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 The newer PSR models are not that expensive, and DO support multitimbral playback. And for the money they sound surprisingly good. Nothing I would take out on a gig, but sufficient for work in the house. You know, I had an old PSR way back in the 80s that had mini keys and no velocity sensitivity, but it was multitimbral through MIDI. Can't remember the model, but I taught myself how to sequence using that keyboard and a Commodore 64. "In the beginning, Adam had the blues, 'cause he was lonesome.
