Re: [xl7] NO sound output from P2500 while playing keys through xp 60 keyboard.

2003-04-29 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

We checked the sound output from the P2500 module through the AUDITION 
button  and it was playing fine without any problem.  After connecting the 
Keyboard XP60  to the P2500 module (XP60  MIDI OUT  -  P2500 MIDI IN), and 
while playing the  keyboard there is no sound output from the P2500 
module. But we can get sound output from the P2500 itself  by presssing 
the  audiotion button  only .

>>>Can you see the MIDI in indicator lighting up on the P2500 when you 
press a key on the XP60?  It should be at the top of the module's front 
panel on the right side. <<<

Why is it that we can get the sound output from  P2500 while pressing the 
audition  button., and not from the keyboard xp60     ( MIDI out of xp60 
keyboard  going to midi in to P2500 module).

>>>Some more things to check:

- Are they both set to the same MIDI channel?
- Is there a Preset selected on the that channel? The default Preset will 
not sound, so you need to make sure one of the factory Presets is 
selected.
- Is it possibly a bad midi cable? <<<

Thinking that the o.s. might be the problem.We tried to upgrade the P2500 
o.s. ver from 1.31  to  1.32 and  2.0,but no luck we could not upgrade the 
P2500 module. We have selected the download request o.s ver 2.0 and also 
target device selection midi in 1  and midi out 1 ,inspite of this  under 
status : it still showing  :  waiting for download request ,No file 
selected ,no target selected. Why is it so ,are we missing something 
,please let us know 

>>>Wow, that's a strange one!  It sounds like you're doing everything 
correctly, my only guess is that somehow E-Loader did not install itself 
properly?  I'm sure you're frsutrated by this, but maybe try re-installing 
E-Loader 1.1 again?  I can't think of what else could be casuing this, 
unless the Midi interface is having troubles and not seeing the P2500 in 
OS receive mode.  Do you have the latest drivers installed for the MTP?<<<

Your help is needed urgently. Waiting for your reply ASAP
