Generic Midi USB problem wirh Sonar 4 Cakewalk Plasma
1. I have an older USB midi Cable and it is listed in the driver when connected as “generic USB Midi”.
I’m pretty sure it’s a 1.0 speed.
2. I’ve used this generic midi cable for years with a digital piano without problems at all.
3. I also have a keyboard that is a Casio ct and just bought another midi cable, but when I connect it via USB, the driver indicates it is a USB midi 2.0 cable driver being used for the new cable.
As soon as the sonar is opened it shows activity in the systray-cakewalk midi monitor, and then random sound comes from my keyboard.
3. Also the midi indicator lamp showing output and input is continuously lit.
So I checked it with midi ox and at has continuous activity also. See pic.
4.
Cakewalk will indicate that a “smtpe time code is detected , -do I want to switch and then start playback?”
If I click “yes” the program stalls and doesn’t do anything and must be closed by the program manager unless I hit escape to stop the time(ing) process.
SO, My question is
Are there settings in sonar or my computer to fix the USB continuous SEND /RECIEVE issues when connected to Sonar or Plasma ?
( I also have cakewalk plasma and it does the same thing. (The sonar issue I have is sonar 4)
Any help is appreciated!
