new to max and midi – can't get max to recognize Axiom keyboard

jumento jumento 3 2	Jun 30, 2012 at 5:34am new to max and midi – can't get max to recognize Axiom keyboard I’m going through the midi tutorial and I can’t get max to recognize my keyboard. any help would be GREATLY appreciated. details: I’m on a mac [10.6.8] and I have an Axiom 49 keyboard. The keyboard works fine in Kontakt and Synthesia [so I know it's working] but no matter what I choose in the max MIDIIN menu, nothing happens. what am I doing wrong? thanks! #39820
seejayjames seejayjames 1 112	Jun 30, 2012 at 4:33pm You have it plugged in and working before starting Max? Sometimes that’s an issue, though I’ve generally had plug-and-play on OSX with MIDI devices (not on Windows though). Aside from that, might be a question for support. Anything come out of a [notein] object if you play notes? #140439
fizzle fizzle 2	Jun 30, 2012 at 9:03pm I have an Axiom 49 that works just fine with 10.7.4. Is the Axiom selected in your notein obect? And as seejayjames said, is there anything coming out when you play a note? #140440
jumento jumento 3 2	Jul 2, 2012 at 6:47pm seejayjames & fizzle thanks for the responses… I wonder if my midi configuration is set up right? I don’t have an Axiom device that shows up, but I do have an EWI connected to my Axiom that does show up. When I select the EWI [which I must not have been trying before], the keyboard sends info to the notein object! cool. something is finally working. what I really want to do is create a simple tuner for my saxophone. I’ve got a usb Yeti microphone but I can’t seem to get Max recognize that either. [I'm sure I'm doing something wrong!] would there be an existing tuner patch that I can modify or start with? thanks again! #140441

jumento jumento 3 2	Jul 6, 2012 at 1:59am I can’t seem to find the mic anywhere. are there problems with usb mics? how do you set them up? #140443
jumento jumento 3 2	Jul 6, 2012 at 2:00am actually, I’m not sure if I’m even looking in the right place. what is the audio status window? #140444
fizzle fizzle 2	Jul 6, 2012 at 2:50am I max: Options -> Audio Status You can see which devices you have enabled for audio I/O, drivers, etc… #140445
jumento jumento 3 2	Jul 6, 2012 at 11:10pm fizzle, thanks for sticking w/me! I really appreciate it. yes, “Yeti Stereo Microphone” shows up in Audio Status! now what? #140446
fizzle fizzle 2	Jul 7, 2012 at 4:01am Try a something like this to see if the mic is working in MAX. – Pasted Max Patch, click to expand. – Copy all of the following text.Then, in Max, select New From Clipboard. `----------begin_max5_patcher---------- 283.3ockQ1sSCBCEG+5xSAoWWILDHNeULFSgdx1YozRZKjoKymcosfiM0ndS O87+74ubNkPnM5ifkl9X5SoDxoDBIH4EHy9DZG+XqjaCoQkvHH6.GXdmxhwU CcnRBtPBatHpGb2p1ycs6Q0tWLPqKN16KxyxYSlZuYSwCdScYVd5yyEE6i60 dHVAEUS0tDEEg8R2b3tRpW5bRh+g8GABdiKZ+OrT7qrTTFLkUKu+LJVbmhKo rO+8cbUrlqPBTIpt8tE1Gu90vZ0Cl1kwE6FK8xFI.qCUbGpUqxo7pb1iBADB mOqzghd8zYvtv81rJ+MbMqBzxajP.i7u..uueDL14wFV1o6xAsw6VyBtnJ5F lJ0.i3R9UI9tcN4CfTDogC -----------end_max5_patcher-----------` #140447
