• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

Sending Midi messages to SAMS

Mick Berg

New member
Hi.
Its been a while since I spent any time getting the SAMs (stop action magnets) working. I had to re-enter the event info after changing my MIDI device and now I can't get GO to send the messages. Using Midi-Ox I see no messages getting out.
If I send an all-notes-off from GO I do see that.

My settings are;
Event no, kx uart ( the midi device)
Device, kx uart
Event, 9x note
Channel 10
Ctrl/pgm 83
Off value O, on value 127

Any ideas why the messages don't get sent?
I've looked through all the settings and they seem ok, and as I say the all-notes-off works.

Thanks,
Mick

GO sends the messages to the mentioned interface - unless Midi-OX is intercepting the outgoing MIDI traffic on that interface, you won't see the messages.

Did you check, which output MIDI interface are currently active in the global GO MIDI settings?

I thought that the fact I was seeing the all-notes-off messages would prove that I had everything set up correctly. Anyway I'll keep looking.
Thanks,

I think the sound card is defective. I have ordered two replacements (they are getting rare these days, but only six bucks each!)

Actually it was the Midi adapter. (Joystick DB-15 to Midi ) Hard to find a decently priced replacement. Anyone have one they aren't using?
Thanks,
Mick

Such adapters are quite simple:

They just provide electrical isolation - the rest of the signal handling is done by the soundcard.

USB-MIDI Interfaces (with non-broken firmware) are the successor.

Thanks for finding that, but are you suggesting I build one? The labour involved in finding the parts, and asctually building it,if billed at my technician rate, would make it very expensive.
It's back to my good old Edirol for now.....
Thanks,
Mick
