Midiout DXi...

Hmm...thinking through it again...

Lets start with a simple blank project to experiment:

1. Start Project5 and hit Ctrl-N to start a new blank project.
2. My Edirol UA-25 was already selected as a MIDI input under "Options | MIDI" but MIDI Yoke 1 was not, so I added it.
3. Insert a new instrument track with the synth of your choice.
4. Insert a second instrument track with the MIDIOut Plugin.
5. Change the input on the MIDIOut track so that it only listens to your controller on a specific channel (no omni for now).
6. Change the MIDIOut output port to point to the first MIDI Yoke port.
7. Change the input on your Synth DXi track to listen only to the MIDI Yoke port selected in step 5 and set the channel to listen on MIDI channel 1.
8. Hit a key on my MIDI keyboard and boom, MIDI feedback loop warning then interfaces disabled.

Okay, let's try it a again:

1. Start Project5.
2. Select Edirol UA-25 and MIDI Yoke as MIDI input sources under "Options | MIDI".
3. Shutdown Project5.
4. Start Project5 again and hit Ctrl-N to start a new project.
5. This time I start by inserting a single new MIDIOut plugin track.
6. I set the MIDIOut track's source MIDI port to Edirol UA-25 MIDI Channel 1 and I make sure my controller is set to transmit on MIDI channel 1.
7. I set the MIDIOut plugin's output port to MIDI Yoke NT 1.
8. I set the MIDIOut's "Send To" channel to MIDI Channel 1.
8. I insert a Roland Groove Synth DXi track.
9. I set the Roland track's MIDI input source to MIDI Yoke NT 1 MIDI Channel 1.

With Omni override set to the MIDIOut Track only I am now able to get audio from the Roland Groove Synth via the MIDIOut plugin and no feedback warnings. Worked fine this time.

See if you can do this same sequence with your controller, MIDI interface, MIDI Yoke, MIDIOut DXi, and the Roland Groove Synth. If you can then now you have a correct formula you can re-apply to the situation you want to create. I'll check to see if I need to correct the Wiki for errors.

Right now, the tutorial(s) are part of a 'triple-feature'. HTH

Holy crap, Batman! A 'triple-feature'? Geez, B, you are one busy P5er! No sleep lately, eh?

This whole MIDI Yoke thing is interesting and you're right, it can be tricky to set up without those dang feedback loops.

Would it be better to segment each major category under a common theme in the closest section, forcing the reader to different locations? Or do you think that it all should be lumped together (yet demarcated) in one spot, as it is a logical progression from A to B? I'm afraid that the sheer volume might scare someone off, but I have to make it easy enough to get to all of the component parts to complete the procedure.

I think you can do both on the Wiki:

First, have it all in related segments that flows from one to the next real well and yet can stand on its own--each in a separate 'file'. On the Wiki, we create a new main segment that just features all of this new content you've generated. It would be a new page that has links to all of the subordinate pages. This main page will be organized to allow the flow of these related segments--and it's all you, man, all you.

Second, on the various categorical sections we already have on the Wiki we place links to each of these individual pieces.

Thus, because they can stand on their own they should work well within the existing categories. Then with a master page for these pieces you can direct the user along your intended flow for these pieces in an inter-related fashion.

Plus, within the individual pieces, we can have "back-links" to the master page for them, as well as "next" and "previous" links so a user can follow them in your intended order regardless of how they got to one of the elements.

Seems to me this little extra effort can make it all fit together beautifully to make it accessible many ways.

Right! Had time to play...still getting the loopback problem...dunno why.

Used b rock's method and it seems to work (I say 'seems' as I can't tell if the notes are right for the scale, but it certainly sounds right and changing presets on scale enforcer changes the notes, so I guess it must be!). Thanks!
