Trouble Shooting

The following provides a list of possible problems and solutions related to midi setups:-

I get the message ‘Device Already In Use’ when I try to run both XGedit and my Sequencer.

You are using a Single Client Midi Driver. Please install Multimid or an alternate Multi Client Driver.

I have installed Multimid but I still get the same message or it doesn’t appear to work.

Please check you have setup the driver routings as described in Setting Up Your Midi System . If

everything looks to be correctly configured, then it may be that Multimid cannot overlay your Midi

Port driver (possibly because you are using Win95 with an older 32bit driver). You should try Hubi’s

LoopBack driver in place of Multimid or install the latest midi port driver for your interface (if you

are using Win95 SB16 drivers please ensure you are using version 4.13 or above)

I can get the dual program mode to work but cannot get the record mode to work.

Check that your Sequencer can record real-time System Exclusive (Many budget Sequencers

cannot) and that you have not disabled Sysex recording in your sequencers record filter. If your

sequencer cannot record real-time Sysex then press the General Midi button down on XGedit. This

will force the editor to output Midi controller messages in place of Sysex. If you find that recording

now works, I’m afraid you will be limited to recording only those parameters that can be edited in

GM mode.

I’ve tried GM mode but I still cannot get the sequencer to record XGedit output

Check that your sequencer is not configured to directly access the midi input port. If this is the case

the Multimid/LoopBack driver will be overridden and cease to function. Configure your sequencer

to only access the midi port via the MULTI driver input (this is particularly important with Cubase,

which attempts to access all Midi ports….use the Cubase SetupMME program to select only the

MULTI ports)

I seem to be losing notes/polyphony from the synth in Dual program mode.

Check that only one program is providing soft thru. If both programs have their inputs set to MULTI

Driver IN and both are providing soft thru, then every note transmitted from the external keyboard

will be played twice on the synth.

I seem to be losing notes and/or getting noticeable delays.

This may be due to Windows:-

Ensure you always have plenty of PHYSICAL memory available. This prevents Windows from

paging VIRTUAL memory to disc and thus tying up the CPU with disc transactions (which are dealt

with at high priority!)

Avoid running any un-needed applications (screen savers, clocks etc...). They may appear to be

dormant.....but are in fact consuming background timers (CPU) and memory.

Always use a true MPU401 Midi port. The MPU supports processing of midi events in hardware,

whereas the others (including MPU emulators) often use software.

If all else fails……Upgrade your machine to use a faster CPU!!!

My SW60XG card will not allow me to edit Variation or AD parameters

This is due to the SWMixer Karaoke Lock function (which Effect Gear II and other programs have

a nasty habit of setting). To clear the Lock either use the SWMixer panel or send a Reset ALL from

the Utils menu.
