Toying with the demo of ReNoise and liking it all so far.
I had a pretty good look through the forums and realise I maybe should have placed this in beginners!
Righto - I have 2 contollers - an AKAI MPD24 and an LPD8 - they are plugged into a standard powered hub. So no true MIDI.
How do I get ReNoise to recognise both controllers?
When I go to Prefs > MIDI (and this could be a Windows thing) I see “USB Audio Device [2] / USB Audio Device [3]”. But these are not audio devices. Or are they?
Had a good play with various combinations and scanned the docs and played a few of the video’s.
The MPD24 seems to respond.
Coming from a Live background - I am used to seeing actual names (of the devices) in order to pick them.
If someone could point me to the right page or a previous post or a specific video it would be well appreciated.
Interesting - I just booted up Live - I can see the AKAI MPD24 as a controller - but no LPD8 (maybe Live don’t have files for it yet?) - but below - all the options refer to USB Audio Device…
I checked the AKAI site in case there was an installer - but I guessed that most of this gear was plug and play… (Akai have no drivers for any gear there).
Tricky.
I know what you mean tho (about installing drivers) - and it seems logical but there is nothing I can easily see.
BTW - in regards the Channel (see above) - I think that each USB bus on a PC has it’s own channel in regards MIDI - so if I plug into a standard USB port and plug a device into the USB hub - voila - they are now on different channels.
Which is a bit cheesy as I really wanted to have all my gear powered off one powered USB hub! Darn u Mr Gates!
