  14. JSynthLib update

    in MIDIbox FM

    Posted · Edited by 'tini

    fuck it. can't be bothered spending another night poking around at this. i might just hack up a max patch for it, or just use my windows machine to edit patches..shame.

    thanks for your help fellers.

  17. JSynthLib update

    in MIDIbox FM

    Posted

    frank, thanks so much for taking the time with this. my music set up is something like this:

    * cakewalk um3g midi interface> hardware synths - connected via a usb hub to my macbook.

    * akai mpk49 keyboard> macbook - connected via usb hub

    * motu ultralite mk3> macbook - conncted via firewire

    i tried jsynthlib via both of these midi interfaces and experienced the same issues. in jsynthlib:

    * midi interface Input/output port – connected to sammichFM

    * Master controller – mpk keyboard

    when i tested the sammichFM shortly after building it, i only had a single midi cable connected to the midi in of the device. on my windows machine this was enough to test that jsynthlib worked and my new synth could be addressed by the windows machine. do i remember this correctly? i only need the midi in connected to be able to edit patches from the computer right?

    so my next steps are to independently verify that my midi out port on the sammich is working correctly, and poke around to see what midi messages are being sent/received.

    the built in midi monitor in jsynthlib was showing all the note messages as i entered them on the keyboard. it did not show any "patch editing" messages.

    also when the sammich midi out is connected, this monitor should also register things like sysex dumps and the like?

    and for the record, the latest jar as provided in this thread is the version i should be using?

    thanks again.

    Hi,

    So what this message is saying is that JSynthLib waited a while to receive some messages during the loopback test, but didn't receive anything. If you don't mind fiddling around a little bit maybe we can track down where the problem is.

    Firstly I've just run the midi loopback test on my PC to check that it does work - in at least one case ;). The loopback test worked which proves its possible although as I'm running windows it doesn't shed too much light on your problem.

    We can be sure that your problem is caused either by JSynthLib failing to transmit midi data, or by somehow failing to receive it. Perhaps we can start by trying to work out which one of these problems we are having. I suspect that as you are able to use the play sound button, the problem is not with sending midi data but lets be thorough and verify this.

    Is it possible to check that JSynthLib transmits something when you initiate the loopback test? For example, on my interface it flashes a light every time midi data is transmitted or received. Maybe there is some midi software on mac that can monitor midi ports, or perhaps you could connect your midi port to your xp machine and use midi-ox or similar on the xp machine?

    I'll have a think about ways we can test the receiving side of JSynthLib.

  20. JSynthLib update

    interface is fine. both of them. tried them individually with jsynthlib, no dice, same issue.

    no problem sending and receiving midi data in other programs. out of ideas really...

    no joy. went over everything again and followed install instructions to the letter, still can't edit patches, just the play sound button works. also tried the new release candidate...

    i do get this error on the midi loopback test though:

    The error was:

    null

  22. JSynthLib update

    in MIDIbox FM

    Posted

    Can I ask which version of jsynthlib are you using? And which version of java you have?

    I know that with older version of java/mac os you needed to use a midi provider (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsynthlib/files/CAProvider/1.1/) but I assume that with more recent versions of java, this is no longer required.

    Does your problem sound similar to the problem someone describes having here? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7749172/why-java-midi-synth-on-mac-stop-playing-notes

    Also, it could be worth checking if the problem happens with the release candidate for version 0.21 of jsynthlib ( http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9112508/distribution.zip )

    thanks,

    frankie

    thanks for the swift reply! i'll try and get you more details later when i sit down with the synth again..

    can anyone else confirm this as not working in osx lion? all i can get jsynth to do is play a note, it won't read/write patches at all. works fine on my windows XP machine...

    poo. the mac is my music machine, no editor for the FM will suck big time..
