Dear list,
I am trying to connect a midi fader box to my notebook through the 2x2 midisport. The faders go in In-A (in-b not used), and to the computer through the usb output. The system is windows xp, pd .35 t26. The purpose is to set up an improvising patch, to act on a concert next Saturday (rehearsals begin thursday!).
Until now I tried the connection, and windows detected the device correctly and installed it - but only when it is phisically present, or it won't show up in the configuration. Windows says the hardware didn't passed their tests fully.
What I couldn't do was make the connection between the midi input and pd. I have both midi yoke nt 2.5 and midi-ox (until now only used yoke to connect a virtual keyboard to other applications, never worked with hardware). But nothing appeared in the inputs or outputs menu in yoke. (unfortunately couldn't make a pd -listdev while with the device, but doubt if it would be detected)
Has anybody set up a system configuration like this one? Are there any test programs for midisport? I couldn't find anything on the cd.
Thanks as usual,
João Miguel Pais
