Title: MidiYoke doesn't appear
Post by drugo_37 on Feb 23^rd, 2014, 12:19pm

I am triyng to play a midi file from Finale to an arpeggiator builded on Max 6.1 and then to Yamaha TX81Z; bur while I can Finale -> MidiYoke->Max 6.1 isn't possible because doesn't appear there MidiYoke ports; I have tried this alternative patch: Finale-> ESI out->cable->ESI in2 Max -> MidiOx -> RME out->TX81Z that is functioning! I think that Max 6.1 doesn't show MidiYoke ports because it's a 64bit application. If so, the problem will become unsolvable with the next release of finale, that also will become 64bit. Indeed, also in ProTools11, that is a 64 bit application doesn't appear MidiYoke ports, while in ProTools 10, that is still 32bit, MidiYoke ports appear normally. Is this hypothesis true ? And in this case what could I do ?
Thanks

Excuse me for this "self-reply" but it looks like to me to have found a turnig round trick for this problem: merely runnig both MidiOx and LoopMidi; I use LoopMidi virtual ports in those 64 bit programs (like Max 6.1, ProTools) that don't see MidiJoke, in addition theese ports are perfectly recognized by MidiOx and in this way I can make any sort of MIDI connection. Till now it seems to be functioning! Thanks drugo

Yes, I think you've put drugo back on track there! Indeed Tobias Erichsen's loopMIDI would have been my guidance for someone lost in the fearful 64 bit quagmire. You do have to deal with the loopMIDI cable's strange (by design) 'semi-transience' of course, so they have to be re-created per computer session. I say 'semi' because I found that they *sort of* hung around by name (but not by function)... So I had to delete then re-create them (ug¿)... But then I learnt that Yoke would be fine in Windows 8.1 if you kept things 32 bit (trixy installation details in another post).
