Minitaur Editor - again

Post by Eanna » Tue Jan 01, 2013 9:08 pm

Hi,

So, I found what is causing the bug...

The file in the installation zip called config.lua initially contains:

Code: Select all

_midiInName = "Moog Minitaur 2"
_midiOutName = "Moog Minitaur"
When I launch the editor, the content of this file is changed to:

Code: Select all

_midiInName = "Off"
_midiOutName = "Moog Minitaur"
Next time I launch the editor, the editor fails to launch. I then dismiss the "Minitaur Editor.exe has stopped working" dialog, and the file content is changed again, to:

Code: Select all

_midiInName = "Off"
_midiOutName = "Off"
The name of my Minitaur device in the Windows Control Panel is "Moog Minitaur".

So, I re-expanded the zip, and this time, made the config.lua file Read Only. The application doesn't appear to have a problem with this file being read-only. I now can reliably launch the editor.
In order to match my system setup, I changed the config file to read "Moog Minitaur" for both Input and Output ports.
Problem solved!

I do notice that the editor doesn't appear to use Midi In at all? If I move the dials on the hardware, the on-screen controls do not change. And when I change presets on the hardware, again the on-screen knobs do not move. Is that expected behaviour??

I am happy to post this answer in my original post from earlier. I've emailed myself the text of this post...

No. The onscreen dials should definitely respond and move when the hardware ones do.
Patch selection and transfer is instantaneous too.
Make sure you Select IN and OUT correctly~ Minitaur USB eg as well as correct MIDI in /out channels
