Is it possbile to play sounds via Toontrack solo with 2 Box direct or do you have to go via Logic or some other program?

Hey guys,

I got a 2box drumit five recently and I wanted to try recording some stuff.

So, first i bought an MIDI to USB cable (M-AUDI Midisport Uno it is called) and i plugged it in the 2box computer (the two midi plugs say "TO MIDI OUT" so i plugged it in MIDI OUT, and "TO MIDI IN" in MIDI IN )

I tried recording with Ableton Live and GarageBand (both on Mac) and i didn't get any signal.


Can someone help me and maybe get this to work ?

three tips:

firstly, download the free MIDI spying utility called MIDI Monitor (OS X only):

http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/

this will allow you to see what MIDI messages are being sent and received (if any).

secondly, try swapping the plugs around. MIDI plugs are often badly labelled in ambiguous ways.

thirdly, if you just want to record the MIDI messages from the module, you don't need to connect both MIDI cables, just the one that is required to get MIDI to the computer...

open up Audio MIDI Setup. go to the MIDI window and see if your Uno appears there. if not you can try manaully adding it as a MIDI device.

also, did you try restarting your computer?
