Studio Vision Pro Setup Probs, no midi input Options

[andrewk4]

Problem- No midi input. The app doesnt seem to know the midi is connected.

Setup-
Imac 400 with os9.2
Studio Vision Pro 4.5 (freeware version)
OMS 2.3.8
Mididman 1x1 usb connector
Roland sound canvas 50
Roland pc200 keyboard

OK, Ive just loaded SVP 4.5 (and Acadia) and it cant hear the input.
Tested OMS and it works fine. Output of random noise works on the Sound Canvas, and when I play keys, the mac says "midi received", so OMS is working. I checked setup, enable input devices
Set instruments and patches OK. Set midi thru and nothing happens.
Enable record track and it counts off but doesn’t hear me play the keys. Aaaargh.
If I paste notes in the track, I can hear them played back thru the Sound Canvas, so output is fine.
Just no input from keys. Remapped, and renamed all instruments. Played around with lots of different oms setups.
I only use midi on this machine, no audio.
Any ideas?
All tips greatly appreciated.

Im a long time user of SVP 3.5 on os 8. Incidentally, cubase vst 32 5.0 runs OK on this 0s 9.2 machine with the same setup, but cubase is too buggy for me. ProTools Free runs ok. So its not the cables either. Yes I used a different OMS setup for each app, so it wasn’t that either.

Help……..

It's been awhile since I've used that software....and I'm sure you realize that it has been orphaned every since Gibson bought it years ago....but as I recall there were some places in the Vision menu where you had to set up the instruments. These are not the OMS setups, but the Vision setups. There are two locations in the menu that I can't recall but one was to the far right in the menu bar and when opened has something that looks like a track sheet. Check your midi input numbers.

You obviously have connection cable wise and OMS wise but your midi numbers and track connections must be right. In OMS double click on the instrument and you'll get the parameters for setting it up. There you can set the midi send and receive numbers. Click them all on to be sure that you are covering your possiblilites if you have it set incorrectly elsewhere.
Hope that helps. I really miss this program - Vision was great during its time. I have been told that Apple hired their programmers, so maybe Logic will come to have some of Vision's ease of use.
