Title: Problem with CBX Driver
Post by stardog on Sep 14^th, 2005, 1:38pm

Hi can anyone help me, I am at a loss here. Im currently trying to
hook up my cs1x to my PC to use with MIDI-OX and ultimately Cakewalk
Sonar. I am using a serial to 'To Host' cable, and have installed
the Yamaha CBX driver
(http://www.yamaha.co.uk/xg/html/software/s_serial.htm);

but in MIDI-OX I get a message saying that the driver is currently in
use? I just formatted my hard drive to try and solve this problem,
and MIDI-OX was the first program I installed, so how can this be???
(In Cakewalk it tells me I have not selected any MIDI inputs, even
when I have)

I have set the CBX driver as the MIDI synth in Sounds and Audio
Devices in the control panel also, but this does not work either.
When I try to play MIDI files they play, but I get no sound from
either the PC or the synth.

I have spent many many hours trying to fix this!

PLEaSe help

That is why it says it is in use. Unselect it from there before opening it in MIDI-OX.

Thanks but no I tried that, even once when I had selected the CBX A driver as my midi playback device, MIDI-OX let me use it as an output! But since then I have restarted and it is back to not working again. The CBX driver has never worked as an input

Any ideas?

Check with Yamaha to see if there is a driver update. I don't think this driver has ever been multi-client, so you need to keep Windows away from using it if you want to use it in another app (MIDI-OX for instance).
