Frustrations..
Posted: Sun Jan 11, 2009 7:47 pm
I'm having some serious problems running SL as an AU on a Bus in Mainstage.
It seems like sometimes I will do something, hit a controller pedal or something, and SL will just decide to stop listening to MIDI.
Last time I I hit the pedal I had bound for "pause" and the loop paused, but after that, nothing would work. Neither trig nor mute not pause nor record.
Here's my setup
I'm using MIDI Patchbay to set a patch from my interface device to the SooperLooperAU_in
I'm also using MIDIPipe (http://web.mac.com/nicowald/SubtleSoft/MidiPipe.html) to convert PC messages to NoteOn message to control some changes in Mainstage.
I'm using MIDI Monitor to monitor midi signals (http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/) and when I hit something on my controller. I notice that I get both the original PC message and the converted NoteOn message. Mainstage handles both; I use some PC messages to convert patches and then some NoteOn messages to change some settings around.
Outside of Mainstage, using Jack and MIDI PatchBay set to send my controller messages to sooperloper_in, everything seems fine.
But in Mainstage, everything will seem cool and then something happens and SL just stops responding to MIDI (or mouse messages...it's weird but I'll press "Record" with the mouse or "Pause" or "Trig" and nothing happens).
There seems to be some magic combination but I haven't figured it out but it's getting pretty frustrating. have a live show Friday ans was hoping to spend the weekend finishing up the touches on my show but it seems like I've spent most of the weekend trying to figure out why Mainstage and SL don't like each other
