Everything gets stuck on 127. Any ideas why?
      #602297 - 10/04/08 08:31 AM
Dear Anyone.

I'm disabled, have to use a notation program to write music because I can't play a keyboard.

Got Voyetra Music Write - great piece of software for notation - Reason, Virtual Piano and Kontakt. All legally bought. I'm using MIDI-Yoke to connect Voyetra to the other listed packages.

It links through fine. However, once Voyetra is connected to any of the others, none of the controls work. Doesn't matter what you set anything onto, sound/velocity/everything else goes to 127 and stays there.You can slide/ wiggle/rotate everything to zero and the sounds are still on full blast. Full harshness. Just like having the mikes WAY too close to the instruments.

BUT. If you set the controls in the package you're outputting the MIDI signals to BEFORE you link Voyetra up, that becomes the new maximum. You still can't change anything once Voyetra's been MIDI-Yoked across, though. Which means if you want to change volume etc., you've gotta close down both packages, reopen the destination package (Kontakt etc) change the settings, save em, close everything down, reopen everything and re-MIDI-Yoke - a right, royal pain in the butt just to alter something a few points.

If you put Velocity on zero in Voyetra, the note goes off. If it's on one or anything higher, the note's back on full blast - 1 equals 127! Volume doesn't do a thing. So we have Velocity acting as note-on-note-off. Don't know if that helps anyone, but it might....!!

Thing is, the onboard Windows Wavetable sounds work fine. They're bad sounds, true, but they obey all the volume/velocity/panning commands Voyetra dishes out to them. They can't help being bad, but they're obedient!

I have an AMD Sempron system, 1GIG Ram, 250 gig hard drive spare, an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 soundcard. The system's going at nearly 200ghz, overclocked.

Anyone got any ideas? Feel free to ask me anything you like that could help you.

Yours pathetically

Chrisulrich.

Is there a chance Midi-yoke isn't multi-client compatible? Have you tried controlling just one other program, rather than hooking them all up at once?
Could be a drivers issue?
