MIDI input not working

• Nov 28, 2009 - 13:24

Here's my configuration:
- Windows XP SP3
- MuseScore 0.9.5
- M-AUDIO Midisport Uno USB MIDI interface
- Roland E-70 Keyboard

In MuseScore MIDI input is correctly selected, but I can't use my MIDI keyboard to enter notes into the program.
Midisport is seen as "USB speakers".
Midisport "MIDI in" led is correctly ON.

I tried also installing a Windows XP dedicated M-AUDIO driver but it got me problems for the o.s. so I went back to the previous driver.

I thank everybody can suggest me a solution.

I finally solved the problem.
It was only caused by driver conflicts, so here are the steps I used to solve:

1) Removed the dedicated M-AUDIO driver.
2) Removed the "USB Speaker" internal Microsoft driver.
3) Detached Midisport from USB port.
4) Rebooted Windows XP.
5) Reinstalled M-AUDIO dedicated driver.
6) Rebooted Windows XP.
7) Connected Midisport to USB port.

You can find the mentioned driver here: http://tinyurl.com/midisportuno

Bye bye.

t took me a while to get it working.
I have a M-Audio Key Rig 25 Midi Keyboard. It shows up as "USB 02" in Midi Input / Output.
This is what I did.
- I found out that MuseScore always uses the first Midi device that it sees, and also channel 1 by default.
It doesn't accept midi data from any other channel.
- I used MIDI-OX to troubleshoot.
- I deinstalled things like Midi Yoke or nerds.de LoopBe1, because they had the tendency to make their port
the "number 1" Midi device, and this is what MuseScore sees.
If you start up MIDI-OX, and go to Menu Options / MIDI Devices, you will see

MIDI Inputs/ MIDI Outputs/ Port Mapping.

These are my settings:

MIDI Inputs:
1) USB 02

Port Mapping:
MIDI Mapper:
- USB O2
- MIDI-OX Events

MIDI Outputs:
3) MIDI Mapper
1) Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth
2) USB 02

This is good, because USB O2 (my midi keyboard) is on MIDI port number 1.

Also important: the keyboard must be sending on midi channel 1, otherwise MuseScore won't see the Midi data.
If you look in MIDI-OX in the window "MIDI Port Activity" (menu \View - Port Status), then if you press a key on the midi keyboard, the "light" of channel 1 must light up..
