MIDI with Firestudio Tube

[millett513]

Does anyone know how to set up MIDI with the firestudio tube? Ableton Live and Cubase do not seem to recognize the MIDI channels. I can set the firestudio tube as my midi input and output device, but when I go to select the channel, my only options are 1-16. There is no option for a MIDI channel.

If you have one of the other firestudios and you know how to do it with that, it might be the same, I'm not sure.

It might be a setting with ableton and cubase that I am missing, because I looked in the firestudio manual and all it says is what the MIDI connection is/does, but not how to set it up (therefore I am thinking all you have to do is plug the cables in)

any help will be appreciated! thanks

midi sends on channels 1-16. What are you using for a midi controller?

well I couldn't figure it out so I called presonus and they said it might be the MIDI breakout cable so they are sending me a new one... I guess I will find out when it gets here

Problem solved!

If you have this problem, and you are sure that everything is set up properly, call presonus and see if they will send you a new midi breakout cable. I bet mine was not the only faulty one out there.. and from talking to them it sounds like they have had this problem before. Glad it wasn't the entire unit!
