Help Setting Up Midi In Dp4 Options

[Chris Fitzgerald]

Hello everyone, my first post on the new forums - glad to be here! I've been using DP4 as an audio only program an a G4800 in my music room for some time now, so I've never had to try to set up MIDI on OSX until now. I just installed the program in my upstairs office, and can't seem to get the MIDI hooked up properly. I'm trying to hook a keyboard controller up to the input of a MOTU Fastlane, then out to a Kurzweil PC2R. In the "Audio MIDI Setup" window, I made these connections, and the "input" arrow of the fastlane icon lights up when I test it. However, nothing registers on the "MIDI Monitor" in DP4.

Any suggestions of what to do next would be greatly appreciated.

I have experienced a similar recognition problem since switching to a G5 and PAnther after no problems with DP3 and a G4. Everytime I open a new file I have to run the MIDI test in order for the connections to be made. Only then will one control light up in the MIDI monitor. The other controller never lights up but works properly anyway. The auto setup is useless because it insists on interpreting my S80 with one connection as 14 MU-80's ! MOTU support only says "be sure you have the latest MidiExpress update" (Which I do)
