Hi,
In the 0.9.3 version I can no longer select 'MPU-401' as my midi input. The Midi In component has (on my machine) :-
PC Keyboard
MPU-401
Delta AP Midi
...as it's three midi ins. I can select PC Keyboard and Delta AP Midi but when I click on MPU-401 (which is the input I'm using and have used in all previous Synthmaker releases) nothing happens. It doesn't become highlighted and I can't use my controller keyboard. Very odd indeed!!!
I tested a bunch of previous 0.9.2 releases and the problem wasn't there, although I don't think I checked the final 0.9.2n release with it (as I didn't have it). So if a bug has crept in it is a recent one!
Hope this can be sorted 🙂

Hi Shifrin
This probably does not help you in a useful way, however, I am running the exact same setup Midi wise as yourself with no problems.
I can select my delta input, PC keyboard input or M4U inputs and use the example synth with no problems. 😉

P.S. I'm using the latest release of Synthmaker of 16th April.

Sorry Shifrin,
I misread your post. I thought you meant an Ego-Systems M4U.
I didn't see that you were referring to the Roland standard PC input for Midi.
If I'd put my mark one eyeballs into focus correctly and read it properly, I wouldn't have made the rash claim that it was working. I'm afraid that I cannot comment on whether the Midi interface works or not as I do not use it.
Sorry... 😉

Don't worry about it! I've used the standard MPU-401 (via a game-port adapter) for many years now. This is the first problem I have had!! It used to work fine in the older SM's but something must have changed in 0.9.3 for it to stop working. It's still working fine in all my other midi apps!!

Odd indeed Shif, but probably easy enough to spot what's wrong (I hope) 🙂
Leave it with me.

Sometimes after crashes within SM it would not allow me to select a midi in but then if i re-installed that version it would always fix the problem.

I also had problems before selecting one of the devices on Midi In, but it happened only once in a while. Restarting SM seemed to fix it. There's most probably a bug.

I had that problem too with 0.9.2. I installed it, used it for a couple of days, then the MPU-401 wasn't working anymore. I reinstalled it and now it works perfectly. So: try re-installing.

I'll try the reinstall guys, cheers! Will let you know how it goes 🙂

I had a look but couldn't see anything obvious. I must admit I'm a bit stumped as to why a reinstall would fix the problem.
I'll wait to hear how you get on Shif.

Well the good news is that the reinstall *did* indeed fix the problem!!! The bad news is that it's a very odd bug indeed!!!

Then you know little about computers 🙂

🙂 - ah, the ultimate fix.
However, unless a reboot was applied after install then the Golden Rule doesn't figure here. Did you reboot after reinstalling Shif? I could definitely believe that it might fix the problem.
Shifrin ·
Nope, no reboot, just reinstalled straight over the top and 'bob's yer uncle' worked fine!!! Weird huh?!
