Midi issues...

[Sonnie]

Okay... what could I be doing wrong here?

This is my first attempt as using Midi with REW v.4...

When I tried to load the REW filters with the Midi cable I got the "Midi output device not selected in Comm settings" error. When I go to the Comm settings to select it, there is none available.

My computer/laptop says the device is installed and ready after I plug it in. Restarting the computer and REW did not help REW recognize it. What am I missing?

What midi interface are you using?

Maybe a stupid question but just checking, did you pull out the usb, and back in and restart REW? That sometimes fix the seeing in the rew. I only got just one USB port so i need to switch all the time from soundblaster to midi.

Yes, I did do this a couple of times.

Same interface I currently have plugged in. Could check the properties of the device in device manager (in the sound, video and game controllers group) to make sure "use midi features of this device" is checked.

Thanks John, I'll check this tonight when I get home and see.
