Have you checked the actual midi ports on the project tracks, make sure
they're not set to none or some other value? The best thing to do is go to
the midi track and select the ports manually, select omni for each port.
Also, has anything changed on the keyboard? Any midi output setting or
something that might prevent it from sending data over?
HTH, D!J!X!

Subject: [ddots-l] help with M-audio
Hello listers,
I am having an unusual problem and hope someone here has some ideas about
how to fix it.
I purchased an m-audio fast track pro from dancing dots to use with sonar
and cake talking 8.5. My korg synthesizer keyboard is connected to it via
midi in and out chords. The fast track pro is connected to my computer via
usb ports. I am running sonar 8.5, cake talking 8.5 with JAWS 11 and
windows 7. I don't think this is relevant but I also have JAWS 15 on my
machine with the new vocalizer expressive voices that I use when I am not
running sonar.
It was running with no major problems Tuesday evening. Wednesday evening I
tried to pull up a project to work on but I couldn't get any sound from my
keyboard. I did have sound coming from the mixer and I could hear
everything that was already part of the project.
First, I made sure nothing was muted or soloed, nothing was.
Next, I checked the physical wires to make sure the midi ports were
connected correctly, they were.
After that, I exited my project and went into a different one. The same
thing occurred, everything from the pre existing project could be heard, but
nothing could be heard from the keyboard. I loaded 2 more projects with
exactly the same results. I turned off my machine and restarted everything
with exactly the same results in all projects I tried to access.
Next, I went into the options menu found midi devices and made sure that my
fast track was checked, it was.
Friday, my sighted husband informed me that we were receiving a "TBIA
invalid data" error from windows that came up before JAWS even started
speaking. So I do not know how long I have been receiving this message. My
husband tried to research m-audio and learned that others using m-audio
products were having similar error messages about the drivers not being
compatible with windows. We tried calling them but they were away for the
holidays plus I don't know where the registration codes are and don't want
to pay for new ones just to get help.
More internet browsing taught me that problems exist when new sound devices
are added. I added vocalizer voices, probably not relevant, and my daughter
installed the latest iTunes, also probably not important. We learned that
one possible solution is to do a system restore. We tried that and the data
error has gone away, but the problem with the midi still exists.
Does anyone know some more ideas about how to solve this?
Thanks ahead of time.
Barbie
