i’ve been trying to use Model 15 as a MIDI controller for stuff in Logic Pro 9.x. The behavior is stuttery/jumpy. Looking at the MIDI data with a MIDI monitor confirms the data is coming into the computer this way (chunks of CC messages are dropped), but the activity light on the MIDI interface (Edirol UM-1ex) is not showing the jumpy behavior. i am wondering if it is the fact that the UM-1ex is sending Active Sensing messages. i cannot disable this.
i have no other apps on my iPad that send MIDI data to test with to see if it is Model 15 or something else.
I suspect your issue might be related to not using MIDI MPE. Are you using MIDI MPE? In Model 15, you’ll find it under Setting => MIDI => Channel => MPE (at the very bottom of the list).
Modern MIDI controllers such as Animoog and Model 15 probably require the use of MIDI MPE in order to properly convey all the MIDI messages to other apps without any gaps. Here’s a related reference: https://www.animoog.org/2015/11/16/the-expressive-midi-proposal-and-animoog/ Note that Animoog and Model 15 both support MIDI MPE, as well as numerous MIDI controllers (the LinnStrument, ROLI Seaboard, etc). The Wikipedia article has currently little to offer regarding this extension of the standard.
According to my quick search on the web, Logic Pro X supports MIDI MPE. I don’t know if 9.x does as well.
Re-reading the Model 15 app description, you seem to be right! Sorry for the confusion. Someone from Moog might chime in to better answer your question than I did!
Ah… sometimes, my memory is pretty bad We were both involved in a recent thread (http://forum.moogmusic.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=24292&p=160898#p160898 ) where Geert clearly specified that MIDI MPE output was considered for the future but not something available today. Happy new year! – Alex
