Sedorikku Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Hi guys, I think I am going to turn crazy. All of a sudden, LPX 10.7 on Mac M1 decided to stop to show my audio interface (UMC1820) in the drop down menu whenever I want to use my hardware synth (V-Synth xt). What's silly is that it recognise it as my audio in and out and works perfectly doing other tasks. So I tried to plug another interface (Scarlet) and same problem happened. The strange thing is that, plug in the interface on my MBP using Catalina and PLX 10.5, things are working the right way... so frustrating! Did anyone else got the same behaviour with Monterey/LPX 10.7/M1? I have the feeling that the more I try to upgrade, the more I spend time fixing issue instead of doing music... Thanks for help.

David Nahmani Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 It seems that even though the interface's audio driver continues to function properly, its MIDI driver does not. Contact the manufacturer(s) and ask if they're aware of the incompatibility and/or if they have plan to fix the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedorikku Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 Thanks for answer David. I will contact them, but the thing is that I did not update anything since my last use. Hope they will have an answer for me. I was thinking about using a midi to usb cable out of the v-synth, it might be a workaround but since it is an old machine, not sure if it will be recognised...

David Nahmani Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 You could also (as a troubleshooting experience) create a new user account on your Mac and work from that account for a while to see if you can reproduce the issue there?

Sedorikku Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Thanks for the tip David, I created a new user and it works on the new account! This is crazy, I have no idea of what is going on... Anyway, that helps for now, thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Ok so then that could be a preference issue. You could try to trash your preference file in your regular account: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=159968&p=840185#p840185 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedorikku Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Not a preference issue, I trashed the file and tried setting my preferences exactly the same as the ones on my new user session, nothing changed. Maybe a new bug to add to Monterey's collection... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Sedorikku Posted January 29, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted January 29, 2022 Finally... After hours of web digging, I found a solution in a 6 years old thread on a forum from a website called... Logicprohelp!!! LPX no longer sending Midi Out to USB-Midi-Interface So, not only I had to delete my LPX preferences files, I also deleted the control surface preferences file, as suggested by mclight in this thread, and it worked! I dunno what the hell was going on, but anyway, now it works thanks to Logiprohelp and its users! Thanks guys and long life to Logicprohelp!
