Yamaha Midi Keyboard - Windows XP SP2 - Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro
Trying to record new MIDI creations using... Yamaha Midi Keyboard - Windows XP SP2 - Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro and Adobe Audition. Plugged the Midi KB into the front panel, which has the Midi in and Midi out option plugs all looks fine, but no sound results. Tried various settings; ran DirectX diagnostics (all tests) everything works find except the Midi Keyboard.
What am I missing? Here are some of the links that I've explored.

Creating Wave files using the keyboard creations and microphone works as an interim solution, though, as you can imagine not what I want; having to do noise reduction and other filtering to make them usable.
I'm sure I'm missing some basic setup issue or just not getting the Midi interface issue.

Callandor --> Tee hee. I've been writing and creating music for 'fun' the last 40 or so years; but only the past couple of years digitizing them and working to improve them. I love/create all kinds of music - folk, classical, rock, R&B and so on. It's a blast, and most intriguing. Borrowed my brother's midi Yamaha KB, bought cables and can't get it to work whatsoever. I've not given up yet (hitting head on wall); but sure appreciate any insights you may have on MIDI. Use Adobe Audition 1.0 and lots of other software; but nothing creates any sounds so surely must be using incorrect settings.
Also sent a note to Creative Labs for the Audigy 2ZS Platinum soundcard and related SW packages in the hopes they can add some insights. Everything "appears" correct and should be functioning in terms of connectivity; my problems remains, it seems, in setting up the interfaces and correctly loading the Midi controls/drivers.

They did tell me, though, that:
Please note that you are using the Audigy 2 ZS sound card. There is no
Creative Keyboard in the Audio HQ. The Creative Keyboard is integrated
with the Creative Soundfont Bank Manager.
Which presents me with a tiny little imbeded KB, which doesn't so squat for me. Not what I want to use.
I'm clearly missing something integral and "obvious". Seeing with eyes closed or mind blocked.

Just blew out one ear: LOL
The Adobe Audition instructions were followed, and "should" work, but doesn't.
Just tested using DirectX diagnostics (all tests for music pass) EXCEPT on the midi side .... MS Midi Mapper emulated, plays OK; SB Audigy 2ZS Midi IO (B400 Emuldated), zero sound comes through; BUT on SB Audigy 2ZS Midi I02 (b400 Emulated), the keyboard plays and goes crazy.
Any ideas?

Hmm. I have CoolEdit, which is the previous version of Adobe Audition. Are you able to record anything that is input to the soundcard? For example, if you hook up an mp3 player to the line-in, can you record what is played?
Ah, missed your post, which sounds like a DirectX/Audigy2 midi problem. So whenever you play on the keyboard, the Audigy is not understanding it?
ASKER
Don't have an MP3 player, but have taken old casette tapes and recorded wav files without problems as well as mp3 files in this fashion; records fine in Audition. Also, using microphone for voice from front panel and recording works fine as well as plugging in the electric guitar to front panel, all record fine. Only problem is Midi.
I think I have gone as far as I can with this, then - the problem seems to be the midi port or drivers for the Audigy. If reinstalling the sound card drivers was already attempted, then I don't have anything more I can contribute.
Hi Astaec,
My music composition PC isn't setup the way yours is, but here's a suggestion. Go into the Control Panel and check under audio devices and make sure you have the MIDI device selected that you want to use. It sounds like MS MIDI mapper is selected instead of the Creative SB Audigy.
ASKER
Great thanks to you both; will check this out when I get back there this evening and let you know.

Didn't find a solution there either. Maddening. Seems so simple, yet ????
Yes, that would be very frustrating... but... truth is... been there, done that... :wink:
Have you also checked what the MIDI mapped device is that is being used by Cool Edit... ummmm... I mean... Adobe Audition?
The other thing is that Audition uses GM (General MIDI) sound fonts and the Yamaha synth, like my Rolands and Kurzweil, use special MIDI fonts. I had to load the matching sound fonts for my synths into the SW I use before it would actually play correctly back through the sound card.
I wish I could help more, but I've only used Cool Edit a little bit for a couple of specific things. I use Sonar for composition and MIDI work, but the version I'm using isn't cheap.
Any more info you could give, I'll see what I can think of.
Good Luck...

Also, when you checked the MIDI mapping, did you do so for Windoze or for the SB Audigy. You need to set it specific for the Audigy output. You probably did that, but I've seen that so many times that it's what I keep coming back to... sorry...

Paste from the CreativeLabs response for the Audigy 2ZS Platinum card and MIDI question:
--------------------------
When you are having trouble with a MIDI keyboard and sequencer it is important to realize it can often be the keyboard or software setup causing the trouble.
To check if this is the case, there is a simple test that may be conducted that is self contained to the sound card itself.
Complete the steps below in order to avoid conflicts.
1) Hardware setup. Normally when connecting the keyboard you connect the output to the input and visa versa. To leave the keyboard out of the loop we just need to feed the signal directly back into the input port from the output.
Sound Blaster Platinum based cards can be connected directly via a single MIDI (male) to MIDI (male) cable. Just run the cable from the MIDI output port on the Live/Audigy drive back into the MIDI input port.
Other Sound Blaster Live/Audigy, Audigy 2 users may have a little more trouble making the connection, it requires a female to female MIDI style adapter. You plug the MIDI cable on to your joystick port just as you would normally. This time use the female to female adapter to plug the output cable to the input cable directly.
2) Software setup. You must now setup your operating system to playback MIDI files through the output port rather then synthesizing the signal itself. To do this you will go to the control panel and set the MIDI ports. For most cards this setting will be "SBlive MIDI OUT, [####]" or MIDI UART for Win2000/XP. For the Audigy 2 the rear MIDI
port is called SB Audigy MIDI PORT [####], and SB Audigy MIDI PORT 2 [####], for the port on the Internal and External drives.
Windows 95 or 98. The options to select MIDI playback device are located under multimedia in the control panel. Go to start, settings, control panel. Then double click on multimedia. There you will find the MIDI tab. There should be a radio button selected for Single Instrument. In the box below select Sblive MIDI OUT [####], where #### represents the IO range of the card. Then click Apply and OK. For the Audigy 2 the procedure is the same except
you will choose SB Audigy MIDI PORT, or SB Audigy MIDI PORT 2, depending on the port you wish to activate.
Windows 2000 or ME. Go to the control panel. This time choose Sounds and Multimedia. There will be and Audio tab where you can select the preferred devices for playback. The bottom one is for MIDI, set it to the SBlive MIDI
UART or SBlive MIDI OUT. Then make sure the check box for "use only the preferred device" is checked. Then click Apply and OK. For the Audigy 2 the procedure is the same except you will choose SB Audigy MIDI PORT, or SB Audigy MIDI PORT 2, depending on the port you wish to activate.
Windows XP. Go to the control panel. If you see a screen that says Pick a Category, look on the left hand side for an option to Switch to Classic View and select it. Now you can select directly Sounds and Audio Devices. After that is open go to the Audio Tab. At the bottom of the window you can set MIDI playback device for the Sblive MIDI OUT or UART. For the Audigy 2 the procedure is the same except you will choose SB Audigy MIDI PORT, or SB Audigy MIDI PORT 2, depending on the port you wish to activate.
3) Open the two software applications that will be used in this test. First, go to the Program files, Creative, SBlive (or SB Audigy) there you can select Audio HQ. When that is open you can open the Creative Keyboard. This application does not playback to the external port so you should be able to hear notes when you click on keys with the mouse.
If not, select a bank and instrument from the drop down menus and try again. Once that is working find and run the Playcenter/Mediasource software and open a MIDI file. There are usually some sample MIDI files in the Windows\Media directory. Or you can search for files with the .MID extension. If you decided not to install the Creative
Playcenter/Mediasource software you may use other programs such as Windows Media Player. However, Playcenter/Mediasource is more compatible with Creative Keyboard and will share the MIDI duties. Other software may generate playback errors such as "MMSYSTEM ### the specified device is already in use". To fix that you can try to close all background operations such as any sequencers or virus protection that may be open. You may even try closing Creative Keyboard while you open the third party software. If you can not get rid of the errors please install
Playcenter/Mediasource from the original installation CD.
NOTE: With the Audigy 2, the Creative Keyboard is integrated with the Creative Soundfont Bank Manager. To
access the program go to:
Start >Programs >Creative >Soundblaster Audigy >Sound Font Bank Manager
Now that all the hardware and software is set up, we can begin the test. Begin playback of the MIDI file in your media player, at this time you should hear no output. If you do, repeat step 2. While the file is playing switch back to the Creative Keyboard. Once active the keyboard may start playing, normally you just need to select OPTIONS button in the lower left and choose the MIDI input port.
NOTE: With the Audigy 2 go to MIDI Devices, in the Sound Font Bank Manager. Choose SB Audigy MIDI
PORT , or MIDI PORT 2 under MIDI in, and SB Audigy Synth A, or Synth B under SOUND FONT Device. With that done click OK and playback should begin as long as the keyboard is the active window. This will show that the MIDI input and output ports are both functional. If this is working, then the sound card is fine and you have two remaining options; That the program you are using to sequence or playback from is not configured properly. Such as I/O port selections or instrument/bank configuration. Or the keyboard it self is not sending and/or receiving the signal, thus needing to also be checked for configuration and cables. For either of these cases please contact the vendor of the appropriate device.
Don't forget to check out us.creative.com for your latest drivers, and updates, and Creative Products.
With regards to the issue you are having, I need you to run a keyword search for SID2448 from the link below on MIDI - General Information and Essential Troubleshooting.
--------------------------
Hopefully will get into this Sunday, but wanted to let you know I've gotten very good information to test and implement here as well from the CreativeLabs Technical Support Email query about my Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS card and my MIDI roadblock on 'recording'.

The continuing saga....
On the loopback, everything tests out 100% fine! Tested using their Soundbank, Media Player and MediaSource interface all spiffy as long as the loopback's hooked up.
Tested the KB on my brother's system (different setup and envrionment) KB works fine, doesn't have Audigy 2ZS, doesn't have Adobe Audition.
All tests are perfect until.... I reconnect the KB to my system then....... sounds of silence.
I just don't get it. Ideas?

Then it's definitely either the Audition SW or the Audigy setup. I've used the Creative SB cards from basic to Live 5.1 to Audigy ZS Platinum Pro without any MIDI problems. I don't use CoolEdit or Audition, so I can't comment at all on that. I would check the setup in the SB card SW. Can you use the same music SW that you're brother has to see if that changes things?
I'm not sure what to tell you at this point... Sorry...
ASKER
Bummer, that was a costly piece of SW (in a digital collection)... I love it for all other music types; but sure bites for MIDI. Found an article at Adobe after days of research on Audigy and they're talking about SMTPE for Midi using sequencers.
Here's the dumb question; would this Yamaha KB include a sequencer?
I'm leaning towards using the Microphone and key my music that way and filter out the room and mic noise. My Bro's setup is very different and it's his KB I was borrowing to create some of my music to MIDI format, but seems like a real PIA. Don't want to disrupt his setup and about to kick the KB to the curb. Anyway, not licensed for his SW.
Gonna whack away at it one more day, then close this.
Thanks for everything you've done so far to help me. I sure appreciate it.

The PSR500/PSR500M is not a General MIDI (GM) instrument, therefore, it is not 100% compatible with units or MIDI applications that utilize General MIDI voice mapping. There are no upgrades to make the PSR500/PSR500M General MIDI compatible.
NOTE: The PSR500/PSR500M can still be used in conjunction with GM compatible MIDI keyboards, tone modules or sequencing applications, with limitations in the area of voice/program change mapping as well as drum instrument channel and key mapping.
