Midi out not coming out?

Support, Help & Resources

Hi,

I’m trying out a setup where I use sonic-pi to control a little synth but the synth isn’t getting any midi
My midi source is a sonic-pi program that sends random notes to all midi ports.
I have a usb to midi converter to send the the Midi to the Organelle Synth.

https://sonic-pi.net/tutorial.html#section-11-2

with_fx :reverb, room: 1 do
  live_audio :moog
end

live_loop :moog_trigger do
  use_real_time
  midi (octs :e1, 3).tick, sustain: 0.1
  sleep 0.125
end

sadly the midi monitor in the synth is showing nothing.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Kind regards,

Stephen

Hi @spdegabrielle

What os do you use ? Sonic Pi Version ?
Can you try with loopmidi https://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html ?
you can use https://tytel.org/helm/ to get a midi synth.

Thank you. sPi3.2, with an old MBP,
I’ve found the midi settings and log in SPi and it now looks good. My synth is still giving me trouble but I’m asking on that discourse.

your program doesnt do what you want it to do, because its not the right program for you.

try the folowing.

reboot machine, connect your midi-converter.

wait a few seconds.

start sonic pi.

have a a look into the sonic pi preferences, if yu see the midi converters name.

If connected correctly (some cheap converters change up IN and OUT, so make sure to connect correctly / wrongly) you should se midi leds blinking on the converter and the synth.

if it blinks, the liveloop should give you audio / midi on the synth. no sound on the macbook.

the reason i say that is because, with my macbook, i can not re-connect any midi-device while sonic pi is loaded. the midi device has to be connected before sonic pi loads to get the midi device recognized by sonic pi.

There is a reset midi in the IO Prefs panel on Sonic Pi. It is there precisely to reinitialise midi connections if you alter any of the midi connections after Sonic Pi has started. It saves having to restart Sonic Pi. It is only needed on the Mac. On Windows and Linux Sonic Pi can pick up changes automatically.
