Hi. I have a VFXsd and would dearly love to use it as a controler for my Mackie Traktion 2 software. I can't get the software to recognize the existence of my VFXsd. I am practically brain-dead when it comes to midi implementation. Is there anything you can tell me that might help me get this done?

Sounds pretty basic ... If you want to get into this you might want to educate yourself a bit about MIDI. Try Google with "MIDI tutorial". One of the first figures e.g. in http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tutr/whatmidi.htm shows how to connect your equipment. You didn't say if you got a PC or a MAC. However, you need a MIDI interface and a pair of cables. More specific qestions and some details what you've tried helps to get answers. RTFM helps too.

Hey, thanks Hans. I have a P4 2.4 GHZ with 2 gig of ram. In Traktion 2 there is a menu for creating midi controller mappings. I'm not sure, but I think this is supposed to recognize my connected VFXsd as a controller> It doesn't. I just thought maybe I was ignorant of the correct midi settings on the VFXsd. If you or anyone else know about this, or something else that might help I'd appreciate it. By the way, I don't have a manual for the VFXsd.

Actually, if you wouldn't mind describing this for a Mac as well, I (and perhaps others) would be most grateful. I'd like to control ProTools from my VFX-SDII, and there's supposed to be a similar way to create mappings or older non-represented keyboards. --- john brusseau <jnbrusseau@...> wrote: --------------------------------- Hey, thanks Hans.

Your VFX won't show by name in your PCs (or MACs) MIDI setup. What you should see are named MIDI ports for MIDI-In and MIDI-Out. I havn't seen Traktion but don't confuse controller, as a keyboard, with controller meaning a special type of midi messages. There should be settings somewhere to define the 'MIDI device'. As for MIDI-In they should refer to physical MIDI ports you have in your PC, e.g. one named MPU-401 might refer to the MIDI connection made through the game port of your sound card. Depends on the type of MIDI adapter you have. Internal? External? USB? ...�RTFMHans-----Urspr\ufffdngliche Nachricht-----
