TheGun Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 My midi keyboard (ReMote 25 original) suddenly stopped working today on my desktop. It still works with Logic on my laptop. On the desktop there is simply no in or out midi on the transport bar. The usb cable is brand new and as I said it works fine on my laptop. I recently installed Komplete 8 on the desktop computer and also changed my audio interface from an mBox to a Fireface 400. The midi keyboard worked fine after this at first, however Logic started behaving strangely, f.eks. it doesn't shut down properly, I always have to force-quit. Should I re-install Logic on the desktop? That seems like a headache, is it pretty straightforward or to I have to do a complicated un-install? Logic is version 8 on both machines. My desktop is a MacPro 3,1. Interface is a Fireface 400 Midi Keyboard is a Novation ReMote 25 original Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Do you know if that keyboard requires a driver? Or is it a core MIDI class compliant device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGun Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 It's core midi compliant. I never installed a driver and there isn't one available on the Novation website. It worked fine on the MacPro yesterday, didn't do anything today other than starting up Logic but it's not working today. No midi in or out. It works fine on my laptop.. I'm at a loss..

David Nahmani Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Are both machines running the same version of OS X? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGun Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 No, the MacPro is Snow Leopard but the Macbook Pro is Leopard. It did work yesterday on the Mac Pro on Snow Leopard though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 It did work yesterday on the Mac Pro on Snow Leopard though.. Anything happened on the Mac Pro between yesterday and today? You could download MIDI Pipe to see if any kind of MIDI data is reaching your Mac Pro at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 You could download MIDI Pipe to see if any kind of MIDI data is reaching your Mac Pro at all? Hey, David. I think MIDI Monitor would be more appropriate (easier, really) for this task. Regards, J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGun Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 Thanks for the tip. Downloaded the MIDI Monitor and it seems that no, midi is reaching the Mac Pro at all. What could be the problem? Nothing happened with the Mac Pro between today and yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Check this thread, someone was having (or is having) similar problems as yourself: http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=388774&sid=7033956507e35b8dd691a1347634acb5 J.

Jordi Torres Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Try deleting the Remote's icon and clicking rescan in Audio MIDI Setup before you try other things like reinstalling the RME's software. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGun Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 Thanks again, ok.. I read the thread and think we are having the same problem. I was running off a usb hub but I've now connected the ReMote directly into a USB port on the Mac Pro. It's still not working though! I deleted the ReMote icon from the audio midi setup window (it was there but grayed out when I looked) and tried a re-scan but it didn't see it. Tried re-installing the Firecface driver and re-scanned again and it still didn't find it. I connected a MIDI cable into the Fireface and the Mac Pro started seeing MIDI! So, I'm at a loss because I've been using the hub for years, since 2004 or thereabouts and never had a problem before. It's working now with the midi cable but it's annoying that it's not working via USB. Thanks a lot for your help, at least I can make music now! Do you think there is a possibility of the USB working again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Well, it's good to know that at least it's working with a good ol' 5-pin MIDI DIN cable... Do you think there is a possibility of the USB working again? No clue... try each and every single USB port on the Mac Pro? Regards, J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordi Torres Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Actually MIDI Monitor is what I meant. Thanks Jordito. Yeah, I thought that's what you meant. But Midipipe has something for monitoring also, it's called the "AList"... J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
