Moderate Latency with MIDI Keyboard

[Sherry C]

Hi,

If you're using LoopBe30, try turning off the "detect MIDI feedback loop." There are some files that apparently trigger a bug (being fixed for the next release) in Composer by sending out multiple MIDI cc commands, which tricks LoopBe into thinking there is a feedback loop when really there isn't.

You mentioned earlier that you'd tried this and it worked. I'm pretty sure this is the issue, and the workaround for you.

Yes, LoopBe30 worked but I was curious if I had something setup wrong and tried LoopBe1 again. I also thought it wouldn't hurt being free as well if it worked

Buying LoopBe30 has been totally worth it. I'm now using 4 Connections

After this Forum hooked me on Hooking up Notation to other DAW's I decided to shop around a bit.

I ended up buying Reason 6.5 and a Novation SL MK-II 49 KeyBoard and I'm just blown away by the instruments in Reason. The Organ's and Piano's are awesome.

I've decided to learn a little bit of KeyBoard to broaden my Musical understanding. It's helping a ton.

I've tried VST's before and I tried it again this time around and I'm never satisfied with the bang for buck on one instrument. Reason has like 6 Piano's I like (each can be tweaked to death) and I like 6 Organ's.

I sure hope Notation Composer has some subsequent releases.

Hi,

Virtual instruments can be a ton of fun, especially when you can get great sounds for instruments that you can't play (yet ) or don't have access to the physical thing. Glad you're enjoying it!

As for subsequent releases, there are good things on the horizon

Where are the available MIDI Devices to mapped Stored or "Cached".

In the Setup - > MIDI Setup... -> Port -> Select Ports...

I have a boat load of devices that no longer exist.

I've uninstalled, unplugged etc. everything but Notation Keeps them cached somewhere.

I'd like to clean this list up.

Hi,

There is currently not a way to remove this information, but we're working to make that an option.

I thought perhaps this was buried in the registry or in C:\Windows\INF and you didn't want to delve into that (which I perfectly understand). But once I found it, which was no easy task, it's pretty easy and harmless to "Reset" Notation Composer's "MIDI Device Cache".

Just Delete C:\Users\Public\Documents\Notation\Composer\MidiDe v.cfg (this is on Window 7 it will be in different location on XP, search for it)

I had real mess trying different MIDI Virtual cables, and a few Keyboards.

By the way I did manually remove a couple drivers from C:\Windows\INF and that may have helped not re-find some of them. You have to know what you doing if you go into C:\Windows\INF but I'm not sure if that was required.

I don't consider this a bug or a problem and I like the way Notation Composer deals with MIDI devices that come and go.

Your support has been nothing but superb.

EDIT: I just cleaned my laptop and all you need to do is delete the MidiDev.cfg file no need to touch the C:\Windows\INF folder.
