Default Re: Moderate Latency with MIDI Keyboard

I reinstalled LoopBe1 and magically got it working without the MIDI loopback error. I swear I set it up the same way.

It seems the KeyBoard wants to always mimic one of the Instruments (Voice) of the Staffs that's playing.

I had chose another Tune that was a Church Oragan and I didn't realize it until 1/2 hr later that the KeyBoard was now staying a church Oragan. Exactly the same one the Staff was playing.

I had earlier tried to set all Staffs (of tune with Paino) to some random instrument (no Pianos) but the KeyBoard still tayed Piano (01). But when I brought up a tune that had no Piano and only organ, I got Organ on the KeyBoard immediately.

This is an amazingly powerful way to learn.

My goal is just to learn basic accompaniment (typically reserved for left hand) but I'll use both hands.

My main instrument is fiddle. But this sure is fun. Perfect intonation, kind of depressing actually, compared to how much work it is to get a nice tone out of fiddle even after 4.5 years. Ugh.

LoopBe1 MIDI Feedback Errors are back.

The reason it worked is tune dependent.

I went back to the first tune I was playing with and MIDI Feedback errors immediately returned.

I tried deleting some of the Staffs that were already muted and it would go longer before getting feedback, but still eventually fail.

Then I pruned it down to 1 staff and it still got feedback after a while.

I attached the two tunes.

Angeline the Baker.Not will immediately get MIDI Feedback Error

Music for a Found Harmonium.Not will play fine.

Hi,

If you're using LoopBe30, try turning off the "detect MIDI feedback loop." There are some files that apparently trigger a bug (being fixed for the next release) in Composer by sending out multiple MIDI cc commands, which tricks LoopBe into thinking there is a feedback loop when really there isn't.

You mentioned earlier that you'd tried this and it worked. I'm pretty sure this is the issue, and the workaround for you.

ttfn,
Sherry

Yes, LoopBe30 worked but I was curious if I had something setup wrong and tried LoopBe1 again. I also thought it wouldn't hurt being free as well if it worked

Buying LoopBe30 has been totally worth it. I'm now using 4 Connections

After this Forum hooked me on Hooking up Notation to other DAW's I decided to shop around a bit.

I ended up buying Reason 6.5 and a Novation SL MK-II 49 KeyBoard and I'm just blown away by the instruments in Reason. The Organ's and Piano's are awesome.

I've decided to learn a little bit of KeyBoard to broaden my Musical understanding. It's helping a ton.

I've tried VST's before and I tried it again this time around and I'm never satisfied with the bang for buck on one instrument. Reason has like 6 Piano's I like (each can be tweaked to death) and I like 6 Organ's.

I sure hope Notation Composer has some subsequent releases.

Hi,

Virtual instruments can be a ton of fun, especially when you can get great sounds for instruments that you can't play (yet ) or don't have access to the physical thing. Glad you're enjoying it!

As for subsequent releases, there are good things on the horizon

ttfn,
Sherry

Where are the available MIDI Devices to mapped Stored or "Cached".

In the Setup - > MIDI Setup... -> Port -> Select Ports...

I have a boat load of devices that no longer exist.

I've uninstalled, unplugged etc. everything but Notation Keeps them cached somewhere.

I'd like to clean this list up.
