The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

hi all, i've been trying to get cubase and an1xedit to run midi 
simultaneously and have gotten as far as dl'ing hubi's midiloopback 
and installing the driver.  i can get both programs running so that 
when i press keys in an1xedit, the midi lights in cubase go on and 
off but that's it.  i cant send anything to my synth (ie. voice 
changes in an1xedit).. can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong with 
my midi setup or other reasons?

Most if not all messages goes as SysEx - have you turned off SysEx 
filtering in Cubase?

Hello justinkk,
There are a few 'how to' articles posted in the Files section, under 
Tips & Tricks, contributed by Gary G. that contain a great deal of 
information on using An1xEdit simultaneously with other apps. You'll 
find explanations on using AN1xEdit w/ Hubi's along with Cakewalk and 
Cubase here:

Hope this helps,

Jon

yeh i wasn't sure the cubase article applied to me since i have a 
soundblaster card and different version of cubase.  anyways, i tried it but 
am not sure i followed directions correctly due to these differences.  have 
also tried different setups from what was prescribed in the article.  for 
instance, i've setup
-an1xedit ports to in:none and out:LB1
-hubi's ports to in:LB1 and out:various including lb1, lb2, creative synth, 
midi mapper (midi out and midi synth wont work, it says "device already in 
use"; midi mapper causes an1xedit to malfunction and even crash my whole 
system)
-cubase mme setup as specified in the article (lb1 lb2 enabled inputs, lb3 
lb4 enabled outputs etc) IN CUBASE, all inputs enabled lb1, lb2, midi in, 
etc; sysex filter unticked, sysex thru filter ticked..

please bear with me as i am a midi novice so i probably dont fully 
understand what im doing here.  (tho i thought i did at first)  what am i 
missing here?!?!

Hi Justin,
Okay, let's get one thing straight up front - I user Logic Audio on a 
Mac and I've no hands on time with Cubase for Win or Hubi's. That said, 
here's what I'd try:

1) Have you established basic communication between your AN1x and 
AN1xEdit? Can you relaibly send and recieve voice info (sysex) between 
the hardware and software?

2) Have you established basic communication between your AN1x and 
Cubase? Can you relaibly send and recivee MIDI info (note events, 
program change and/or control change messages?) What about SysEx? Have 
you tired to transmit or receive a .MID or .SYX file between Cubase and 
the AN1x?

If all the above is working then we can be certain your MIDI Interface 
is working correctly and you have a legitimate configuration in place. 
Your using a SoundBlaster, correct? The built in MIDI Inteface on these 
cards don't have a sterling reputation so by making it thourgh steps 
one and two we can eliminate that as part of the equation.

3) I'd reread this article:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AN1x-list/files/Tips%20and%20Tricks/
tt_plg150an_cubase5.htm

substituting 'AN1x' for 'SW1000'. This would at least give you a 
starting configuration to troubleshoot rather than be all over the map 
with a dozen different set-ups.

Question: Have you tried any of the Cubase resources (mixer maps) 
available from the Files section? I wonder if these would help achieve 
similar results as an alternative to what you're trying to resolve with 
AN1xEdit + Cubase.

regards,

Jon

In answer to your first two questions, yes.  I can run midi on cubase with 
my an1x, and also on an1x edit with my synth.  so nothings wrong with my 
soundcard.

i have everything setup like in Gary Gregson's article without xg edit and 
replacing "sw1000 #1 synth" with "awe64 midi out" for the hubi output.. i'm 
not sure how sw1000 #1 synth or sw1000 #2 synth translate to my 
soundblaster.  here's what happens:

-if i have cubase running and then open hubi midi loopback and try to select 
awe64 midi out as the output, i get "MMSYSTEM004 specified device already in 
use..."

-if i have hubis midi loopback on with midi out selected for output already, 
and then open up cubase, i can NOT get any sound when midi is transmitted 
from cubase nor from my keyboard through cubase (even thought midi in and 
out on cubase flashes on), but CAN get sound when keys are pressed in 
an1xedit which goes through hubi to midi out.

does this make any sense?  i think i need a multi-client driver for my 
soundcard, i think the problem is that my awe64 midi out can only take input 
from one program at a time.  perhaps someone who owns a soundblaster might 
shed light on this?
