Oms And Pro Tools Free, Halfway.......... Options

[dirkx]

Hi there,

I just installes Pro Tools free on my G4 DP 867. It works for one thing, the midi.
I am using a Nord 2 and MPC 2000XL connected via a midisport 2x2 (USB). I made a custom set up in OMS, tried all channels but Protools is not receiving midi, the midisport does (lights are flikkering) Also the USB light is flikkering. Anybody any ideas?

Thankx

go in the protools 'midi input settings' page, turn the OMS inputs ON (default to OFF) ... enjoy!

Thanks for your lightning fast reply
You mean the windonw that says "Select inputs to enable"? They already were turned on. So no problem there.

yes i meant that page (from midi menu if i remember correctly).

Of course, ones correctly setup you must have a RECORD ENABLED midi track in your session to be able to see if the midi inputs works.

before investigating in PT, make sure OMS is alreay correctly setup: Use apple-T (Test mode) and play on your keyboard. if it works, you should hear a voice saying 'midi received', 'midi received' when you play. If not, the problem is in OMS

Ok you guessed, it works. At least i am getting signal in Pro Tools !!!!! Now i can go on, thinks it needs some fine tuning :-))
I installed OMS again and now it works, beats me.

Thanks for your input, the test function was a great idea.
