Hi
I need help. I don’t seem to be able to get midi to the STM 16 S input. The midi monitor shows there is midi getting to the input but the midi light on the STM doesn’t flash when midi is sent. Tried sending midi from the internal keyboard, external programme, and nothing doing. Please tell what I’m doing wrong. Is there a midi Input on and off?
I need a fix fast as the card is going out for hire tomorrow.
Regards
Gary

do other plugs/mixers react on midi?
If so, try reloading the mixer in the project, or re-instal the mixer files by copying them from the install files.
I read something like this on Planetz

ignore the light
just right click the respective item and assign the controller - it works (at least here)
cheers, Tom

Hi
I have tryed reloading it on 2 diffrent cards. If you have STM 16 S, try it. What I want to do is mixer preset changes using programme changes from another programme.
Let me if you manage to get it working.
Regards
Gary

I know you're doing serious live work with your setup (or plan to do).
According to your problems and what showed up on my system I would not recommand it for critical use.
I normally don't midi automate that stuff and just did a few quick settings that weren't remembered reliably, so something crucial might be overlooked (by me)- yet midi and presets in general seem to bear a potential for messing things up if certain conditions don't meet.
My system may not be representative, tho - 2 old Pulsar 1s on Win98, no sequencer.
I don't experience the infamous 'windows-midi-lockups' from 2K/XP and timing data and active sensing doesn't seem to be a concern (afaik).
But to be honest I remember situations where a project (that worked reliably for days) suddenly runs into hanging notes quickly (and probably other midi nonsense as well).
After a restart (or two?) all is ok again mysteriously...
I've always been very forgiving on midi items, as I assume it's probably a hell to program (for the developers) in it's current state.
cheers, Tom
