Looking at your picture, is there any reason you have USB Audio Device (2) plugged into USB Audio Device? This might be causing the loopback.

Hi Jason, Yes, dashed lines represent connections that are mapped, but could not be connected (the MIDI port symbol should also be "greyed out"). This usually means that your MIDI interface is not multi-client capable and some other application has got the ports open. Are you running any other MIDI applications at the same time? It also looks like you are running an older version of MIOS Studio, does running one of the newer versions make a difference? - Adam

I've got no problem downloading and running the latest Java for MS (98 through to XP) or Linux...

You no longer have to use Perl to convert the *.hex file to SysEx. MIOS Studio allows you to directly upload a hex file and do the conversion automatically. - Adam

I think I've made my thoughts clear about Apple's support for Java before. Apple's page says it best: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/java/ Still only shipping with 1.4 after how long? Pfff....

Yep, unfortunately this is normal behaviour. As I said when it was released, a few things have been taken out as they need improving... this is one of them. I am working on fixing it at the moment. Cheers, - Adam

Sorry, I'm not sure of the status of Java on earlier Mac releases. Perhaps some other Mac users can chime in??

Maybe set a firm date and also a link for those who aren't sure how to donate. - Adam

If I remember correctly, Java on Linux still uses OSS for sound instead of ALSA (I assume pmidi uses ALSA). It's been a while since I've played with setting up OSS backwards compatability in ALSA, but you might wanna look into your alsa.conf/.asoundrc file. I'm using an M-Audio Quattro on Linux and am not having any problems, but that only has one MIDI In/Out port, not two like the 2x2.

Interesting, anyone else noticing this problem?

Hi Michael, What do you mean by this? Do you mean that when you re-open MIOS Studio, the window positions aren't restoring to their previous state?? That shouldn't be happening, has anyone else noticed this problem? Cheers, - Ada,

Hi Fluke, Thanks for the info, I've fixed the filtering problem and will be releasing a minor update this week to address a few problems. Could you explain your MidiSport problem a bit more? Has the same issue happened in previous versions of MIOS Studio? Do both ports work with other Linux programs? A screen shot of the Routing Window might be helpful if you could post it for me. Cheers, - Adam

Do Palm pilots support Java applications? I've recently started learning J2ME (Java for mobile devices) and some time in the distant future there is the possibility I might start writing small MIDI apps for mobile devices. Any suggestions on what might be a useful MIDI applications for use with mobile devices? - Adam

Good to know! I still haven't tested it on a mac myself, so it's good if any mac users can report any issues they find. If you could take a few screenshots of MIOS Studio running with the mac look 'n' feel and forward them to me it'd be much appreciated. Cheers, - Adam

Hi All, An updated version of MIOS Studio is now available which includes support for MIOS v1.9. It can be downloaded directly here: MIOSStudio_beta7_2 As well as support for v1.9 there are lots of new features, the website will be updated within the next week to list all the new features. Please note, this is a development version and a number of changes have been made since the last stable release. The documentation is out of date and a few features from previous versions have been removed to make way for improvements in future releases. Feel free to try it out and please post any feedback. Cheers, - Adam

What command are you using? You should be fine if you use: java -jar MIOSStudio_beta5.jar - Adam

Hi guatamaham, Not sure if it is exactly what you are trying to achieve, but I wanted my MidiBox to react in a similar way and you might want to check out this thread: http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=2888 Modifying the code will allow the LED to be toggled On/Off by both the physical button or by a Note On/Off message sent from the application (Ableton in your case). Cheers, - Adam

For moebius and anyone else curious, using Linux (FC4) 'file' utiltiy i get the following output: file /mnt/data/MIOSStudio_beta5.jar /mnt/data/MIOSStudio_beta5.jar: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract - Adam

The geekiest explanation I can give is that a JAR file is more or less a zip file with a few extras (you can open a JAR file with WinZip and extract all the files like a normal zip file). I assume that Windows/IE/Mozilla/whatever renames it because it assumes it is a zip file. - Adam

I am cleaning up the class structure and a lot of the code in MIOS Studio, once I am happier with it I will send it to you so you can try and implement this new feature. - Adam

Hi Thorsten, The easiest way to do it is to add the delay before it begins uploading. Did you mean < 2 seconds (you put < 2mS)? I have added a delay of 1.5 seconds before uploading and this works fine. I'll add it to the TODO list to try and get the second method to work. - Adam

Where did you save the downloaded file to? It may have been renamed to .zip instead of .jar. - Adam

Good to hear. I've been quietly working on MIOS Studio, among many other things the Virtual Keyboard has been vastly improved: The keyboard now has buttons in additions to knobs. The knobs/buttons/expression wheels can now be changed to send Control Change, Note On/Off, Program Change or Pitch Wheel messages. All settings/values are saved on exit and restored when opening MIOS Studio again. There are spin boxes for sending Bank Select MSB/LSB in addition to Program Change messages. - Adam

Hi Rowan, Does this mean you have MIOS Studio working with Java 1.5 and Plumstone? Cheers, - Adam
