MIDI Express XT Weirdness
Posted: Sun Sep 10, 2017 11:58 am
For some reason, each time I startup my iMac, I have to perform a Rescan in order for any of my MIDI data to pass through my MIDI Express XT (late 90s model) onto the computer. I used a desktop app called MIDI Monitor by Snoiz and saw that the only data comes through on the Sync port when I press keys on my controller (which is actually connected to port #8). After doing a Rescan, data shows up on port #8 as it should and everything is fine. But this has to be done every time I start my computer Here's what I tried so far:
-connect directly to computer bypassing USB hubs
-connect to a different computer
-update driver
-perform factory reset (disastrous results - read on)
None of these helped
Also, there's a problem with Clockworks where the configuration I saved didn't load correctly into the interface. Before performing a factory reset, I saved my configuration in Clockworks. I had to make new connections in AMS, but after testing, the results were still the same. I still had to rescan in order for data to pass through other than the sync port. I then tried to reload my configuration and the interface went berserk. I had to recreate all my configurations all over again from scratch.
Has anyone seen this behavior? If so, how did you resolve it?
