MIDI into Logic with Travele MK3

Post by Arelli »

Can get MIDI into the MK3, but can't get MIDI into Logic via firewire. Have tried 3 controllers, and 2 MOTU interfaces, MK3 and an 8Pre.

First, have you installed the latest drivers from MOTU for your Traveler? That's probably it. Logic should automatically see any hardware interfaces for Core Audio and MIDI. They should be on a CD that came with your device. Otherwise:

http://www.motu.com/download
has the Universal Audio and Universal MIDI drivers for all MOTU devices.

But if that's not the problem...

In the Finder, press shift-command U.
In the Utilities folder that opens up, click on Apple MIDI setup.
In AMS's menu bar, click Show MIDI window if it's not already open...
...if AMS's MIDI window IS open, is the Traveler showing as a device? It should have automatically shown up, I believe...if not...
Click Add Device

If that's all there already (and it should be), then you need to find the menu in Logic called something like "setup" or "hardware" or "I/O"...it might be under Preferences/MIDI. Something's not telling it the Traveler is there.
