Summary | 0000896: Midi keyboard shows up after opening MPT but doesn't always work | ||||
Description | I have an AKAI LPK 25 USB midi keyboard and use it with MPT with usually no issues, but sometimes after I plugin the keyboard then open MPT, the keyboard shows up in the midi tab (see attached image) but when I try to play the keyboard, nothing happens and I hear no sounds from the samples/instruments and it won't work and often it won't work until I restart my computer. Is there a way to fix this? | ||||

As long as OpenMPT receives MIDI messages, it will record them - so it is most likely a driver issue. Have you tried closing and reopening the MIDI connection in OpenMPT? |
|
How do you do close and reopen the MIDI connection? I have unplugged my keyboard and plugged it back in while OpenMPT was running and it didn't change anything. |
|
See here: https://wiki.openmpt.org/Manual:_Frequently_Asked_Questions#MIDI_Input_does_not_work
That's a bad idea, there is no way for OpenMPT (or other programs) to know that the device got plugged out and in again. In that case, OpenMPT is very likely to no longer receive until you re-open the MIDI connection (see above). |
|
Ok the only "Enable MIDI recording " box I found was "Enable MIDI recording when lanching OpenMPT" so I unchecked it, closed OpenMPT and reopened it and checked the box, tested it, nothing, then I closed MPT and reopened it and still nothing, but I know its working fine as I could use my computer keyboard and play notes fine. |
|
Uhm, you you applied the FAQ entry in the opposite way than it is supposed to be. If you uncheck "Enable MIDI recording when lanching OpenMPT" and restart OpenMPT, then it <b>no longer activates MIDI recording by default</b>, so it is no wonder that now it doesn't work for you anymore. The important part of that FAQ entry is that you should click on the <b>MIDI Record</b> icon which is displayed on the right side of the FAQ entry so that it is activated; And in particular, if it was activated and you are no longer able to receive MIDI messages, you should click it twice so that MIDI input is closed and then re-opened. |
|
No its not that, I always had the midi enabled but it didn't always work when enabled, like I mentioned, so I though maybe unchecking the enable Midi record box, closing MPT and restarting it and checking the box to enable it again would solve the issue. It didn't. I am still getting that sometimes the midi will work, sometimes it won't until I restart my PC and restart MPT and even then it might not always work. |
|
That still sounds like a driver or device problem then. When MIDI stops working even after restarting OpenMPT, try if any other application receives MIDI (try SendSX from https://www.bome.com/products/sendsx) - if OpenMPT does not receive any MIDI messages, neither should SendSX. |
|
Without any further information, there is nothing we can do here. |
