Hi all,
Happy Saturday. I have run into a wall using LMMS using Windows 10 and an m-audio keystation 88es connected via USB.
I get sound using the keyboard. I see that LMMS works without a keyboard better. But for musicians, having to use a computer keyboard versus a music keyboard is a real bummer.
I'm looking for concrete information on the midi settings that need to be used to get my keyboard up and running past the connection stage only. I've read the manual cover to cover. I've looked at the quick set-up and the midi wiki chapter. Actual information isn't easily available I'm finding.
I connected the keyboard to LMMS just fine in the settings tab.
I downloaded a sample which plays across multiple keys just fine using the keyboard. However, I'm now ready to use the keyboard for the next track. And I've hit a wall. All I hear when attempting to set up another track is the sample from the first track. The sample plays and meters on the first track though I've enabled channel 2 on Midi input on a new track. On the new track, when I hit the keys in piano roll - the new sound plays/records. But when I use the keyboard, I hear the sample from input channel 1 playing.
I noticed that there is no concrete information about the midi settings that need to be used beyond how to get LMMS to recognize your keyboard as a midi device and how to use it on one track. Which input/output settings do I need to use to have the keyboard functioning on multiple tracks? I want to program drums, bass, guitar and percussion on multiple tracks.
What channels do I use for MIDI INPUT and MIDI OUTPUT? Are there any other settings that are relevant such as in audio, which I saw reference of but no one answered the guy's question?
The 88es playstation keyboard doesn't have a global channel that I can see in the manual, but it says it can transmit midi on 16 channels. I shouldn't have to change the midi channel on the keyboard for every track because I want to play the other tracks I've already recorded etc. as well as record new ones.
In other programs, there is a very simple process for enabling a midi keyboard to play smoothly. I'm sure I'm missing something on LMMS. Thanks for your direction, fellow writers!
