Hi Robert,

From the menu bar select:

In the Midi Device Configuration window select:

In the Select Port window deselect the LoopBe input port.

Hi.

I have that setup already, but the problem keeps appearing...

Hi Wolf,

I think this is actually a LoopBe issue. I have the same problem sporadically (not all the time) if I'm using LoopBe, no matter what device is on the other end. I don't recall having the problem when I was using Maple MIDI cables. I typically resolve the problem just by right-clicking on the LoopBe icon and clicking the "Mute none" option. Playback typically picks right back up.

ttfn,
Sherry

LoopBe1 uses "feedback detection" that can not be disabled - as far as I remember... this checks for higher speed than classic midi (31.25 kBps) which can easily occur when data flows just inside a PC... I remember as well that this drove me nuts...

The payware LoopBe has an option to disable feedback detection...

...but my recommendation is trying free loopMidi from Tobias Erichsen

It is easy to use and all can be set up dynamically - no reboot on changes. You just need to install AppleBonjour services for PC which is free too and can be downloaded from Apple.

That seems a good option to me.
I installed LoopMIDI, but I can't figure out how to make Composer to detect it (GPO already does). Apple Bonjour only looks for printers and I cannot move forward. Any advice, here?

Thanks!

Composer automatically detects the MIDI device (in this case LoopBe) when it is turned back on. The LoopBe will be called "Internal MIDI". If you install LoopBe while Composer is already on, then you can use Setup/MIDI Device Configuration/Config/Initialize to re-detect the available MIDI devices.

Hi!

I hadn't been able to access to the internet in these past days, but these solutions have worked great for me.

Thank you!
