MIDI controlers disconnecting during the concert.... !
Hi,
This is the question for programers from Max team who are working on the midi on Windows:
From times to times Windows 10 disconnect and reconect USB port very quickly. It's happen during a few days or 1-2 weeks and after it's finish during 2-3 weeks.... and it's probably due to new fonctions in Windows to searching and installing updates etc... This fonction of Windows is impossible to regulate.
But if Windows 10 is able to reconnect the USB port and MIDI device, but the problem is that Max not and after the Windows reconnect the USB device Max lose it!!!
The result is that it's IMPOSSIBLE to use Max during concerts and installations. It's totaly crazy for software which is specialy for plaing live......
Question is: when Max will be able to don't lose the USB MIDI device ?
Is somebody works on this problem?
Thanks for quick answer - for the moment we had canceled the installations and concerts......
Bad to have to cancel installation and concerts.
You have to get better control over windows OS.
If You want to use Win PC for any kind of live situation,
plain Windows installation will not get You anywhere.
Starting from Power Management which indeed can put USB devices to
sleep after period of inactivity if one does not configure it differently.
One should trim the system down for live use.
There is nothing on Windows that can not be controlled in some
extent.
So I would suggest to get that sorted out first.
Hi, thank you for your answer, but seems you don't realy use windows adn you didn't read my message in details.
1 - Windows 10 has automatic updates and installations - impossible for anyone to do something to stop it (I see you don't know but, there are lot of things you can't control on windows 10 !)
2 - during thess updates there are the problems with disconnection usb midi
3 - this problem we have since more then one year !!!! - why we cancel alll events - for us it's a ctastrophic event!!!
4 - we use windos regulary a we know lot of things about it, we did all changes for the usb, economy energy, and lot of others..... not enough place to write it all here...
5 - we didn't have any problems with windows 8
6 - like I wrote - windows 10 can reconnect usb device - but Max did not
It's why I write here and hope there is somebody from Cycling team who wil read this message !
Maybe it's important for them to know that the Max software doesn't works with Windows 10 and they need to make a patch for reconnect the midi after deconnection and reconnection usb
I made by myself a little external programme to do it - I check the reconnection of USB and I try to reconnect MIDI on Max, but it's working only 50%.....
If somebody from Cycling make this kind of patch inside Max it will be working without problem - but somebody has to read this message !!!
thank again for you help and quick repply Cycling
run services.msc and totaly disable windows update.
I have windows 10 running since few years no updates or whatever
gibberish.
But You can do it only on better than Home edition
Your idea doesn't work - one year of testing.... ->
windows home, pro , ltsb....all services are disable, but how I told you - it's impossible to do forever!
Once more:
need somebody from cycling to do what I suggest - reconect usb midi devices!!!
Is there anybody from cycling ?!
Is this problem no interesting for you ? Max doesnt' work with MIDI on Windows 10 - what are ou doing guys ???!!!
Answer please!
