Hi, Ghost midi pickup on MF guitar : Midi volume wiill not increase progressively. Look at data input in computer : controler 7 data from 0 to 15 = no sound then at 16 sound will be audible but already strong then if I roll up midi volume potentiometer then volume will increase and stop at 43 (maximum on this Ghost system). With another midi guitar GK3, controler 7 : from 0 to 127 progressive from no sound at 0 - perfect crecendo up to 127 (3 times louder then Ghost system maximum midi volume output). My tech just change the midi volume pot but it does the same thing... Any ideas of what could cause this ? ... If you like extreme midi guitar virtuoso playing check: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deoOaiqab6Q (On this video is the guitar with the problem above) Thanks in advance, Claude Lassonde recording artist for Universal Canada

A Gk3 cannot be connected directly to an electric piano or synthesiser. The 23 pin DIN connector connects the GK3 / GUITAR to a Roland guitar synthesiser which produces the synth tones . This unit can be connected via midi cable to any external keyboard or synthesiser...to produce different or varied tones from the external synth ........provided the devices are able to communicate with each other...see the midi implementation charts for each device for information....

by using a midi editor, midi data cannot be changed while traveling through the cable there are 127 different options for midi, and it needs a digital platform to funtion correctly for paramaters.

Hi, from what I can tell you cound plug your CX3 into the synth module with a 1/4 inch patch cable and run the audio through it, however I think you will be quite limited in what you can do to modify your sound.

Where the synth really works well is when you feed it digital input data. For you to be able to do that your CX3 would need midi outputs and while I don't have one, I looked it up and can see that the CX3 is too old and does not have midi capability.

Midi (musical instrument digital interface) is a common language that allows musical devices such as your fantom to communicate with other devices. A keyboard with midi running into a synth is in essence just a control surface, a way for you to input data into your synth module, it is making no sound itself, but rather outputting digital data into your synth which in turn generates the sounds you want it to. There are allot of keyboards out there that are only for this purpose and are simply controllers. For example, M-Audio Oxygen 61 - 61-Key USB MIDI Controller. I'm afraid your CX3 is just too old to be able to do this, however, I imagine some of the sounds that thing makes are very vintage and good, and modern synthesizers often times just cant reproduce that (though they are getting batter all the time). Hope that helps :)

I had this same problem. Pressing the panic button restored full volume, but again only for some seconds. I went to the 'midiscope' feature (in the global menu) to show any midi control messages that could be the cause. Indeed, it showed midi control message with volume, even though I did not touch any controls and no external midi devices were connnected. The midi scope in my case showed message was coming from midi channel 1, controller 11, which didn't mean much to me. I moved all knobs and sliders, like the pitch wheel and volume sliders and saw similar messages in the midiscope, but all on different controller numbers, not #11. Then I thought it could be coming from the external controller connectors on the back. I connected a foot pedal to them and found #11. With finding it, and by doing so, maybe cleaning or moving something in the plug connector, the problem disappeared and did never reapper.

Are you connecting to the laptop and using it as a midi controller? You can record midi notes from the keyboard and send them to your laptop via USB using any midi sequencer program (reason, logic, etc). Create a midi track, select the input of that track as your keyboard, then hit record to play some midi notes. To hear what you record, you have to set the output of the midi track to whatever midi sounds or instrunents you have installed on your laptop.

If you are trying to record the actual audio sound the keyboard makes, use an audio program such as cubase, sonar, audacity, pro-tools, and either mic the keyboard, or connect one of the other audio outputs (1/4" TRS) to an audio input on your DAW, and record an audio track that way (as opposed to a midi track).

The short answer is NO... One COULD build a special MIDI interface to replace the footswitch inputs that was controlled by MIDI signals... would NOT be that hard, but would be special. One company makes a MIDI interface that is small. Use this and connect some relays to drive the foot switch inouts and it can be done.

try a midi loopback device or a viruual midi cable such as sonys virtual midi cable: http://www.johnrofrano.com/tutorials/virtualmidirouter.htm

i dont know if this one will work, you could also search for loopb1 and hubi's midi loopback device, one of these should work.

what you have to do is use one of these programs, or something similar, to connect your midi input to the soundcard's midi wavetable or to your midi/synth/sequencing software's midi input.

also, the drum machine should be set to output to midi channel 10. make sure that your software is set to recieve on midi channel 10, if applicable.

Since this has no audio output it will depend upon your computer to generate the sound using the audio system in the computer. You will need the driver software for the M-Audio to talk to the sound hardware in your computer and configure that to accept the MIDI inout from the M-Audio.
You will need to OPEN the volume and mixer controls for your sound board, unmute it, and enable the SYNTH channel and select "general MIDI".
As a test, download VanBascoe's Karaoke thing and play MIDI files to make sure your synth software is working. Then assign the MIDI source to teh USB input from the M-Audio.

how can i play .bup file in computer?

ok here is the solution!!!!!!!!

• we should have a mic pin and audio cable as shown in this pic
• 
connect these cables,and connect big pin to the piano and small pin to the computer (mic or input jack)

now take windows movie maker (start-all programs-windows movie maker). click on narrate timeline (as a mic icon below windows movie maker).

now click start narration on the pc and play your song on the piano. you can see input level highlights. now your song is recording. when your song completes click stop narration and save to the pc. walah if you can't understand this say to me. i can add video. sry for my worst english

I'm not at home right now where all my manuals are so I'll try to explain with out. You will have to set it so that the keyboard is the slave device. Try setting it to Omni receive. It has to be able to listen for all midi channels at once. You have to write a sequence on your computer and hook it to your keyboard by using midi out on the computer to midi in on the keyboard in order for you to use the computer as a controller. If you need the keyboard to create the sequences then you have to hook the midi send on the keyboard to the midi in on the computer play/enter your notes into individual tracks in your software then assign channels, voices etc to each track and save the sequence. Then when you hook it up the other way the sequence will play just like an audio recording except the sound w2on't be there. What you have recorded by creating a sequence is a series of midi messages that the keyboard will receive if you have it set properly and hooked up ptroperly which it will translate into sound. This is a minimalist explanation at best. You will have to have a better understanding of not only your keyboard but also your software and midi in general. There are some pretty amazing things you can do with midi. For instance if you have a lighting controller that is midi capable you can i,mbed all the lighting scene changes for your song in order on one track. You can also control your guitar effects pedal to change effects automatically while your playing. Once you get a handle on it you are only limited by your imagination and your budget. Hope this helps in some way.
