ok. I did it. I’ve achieved the following (and am much pleased): 1) Oxygen61–>MinEdit->Audio Out ✅ 2) PK-5 ->MinEdit->Audio Out ✅ 3) Oxygen61->LIVE Library->Audio Out ✅ Using 2 channels into my PA. it works. and I think I’m starting to understand MIDI paths. a little. Thanks everyone...

somehow, between tinkering & fawning over my drums this morning (and ordering a Roland TD1D-MK because, well, I’ve always wanted some Roland triggers for my beast), grabbing this neat photo and puttering in Live, I’ve achieved full functionality between my PK-5 and MinEditor. with the...

As I wait for my interface to arrive and checking if anyone has more thoughtful suggestions, I’m struck by the thought that “plug & play” means something completely different to a guy who came into music as a drummer. there’s a new cymbal. here’s some sticks. boom. I miss that.

pro tip

that could be it, too. it’s LIVE Lite, came with the Oxygen61. the PreSonus box is supposed to come with StudioOne. Ableton gave me an opportunity to tinker and I’ll have a basis for comparison (if needed) if I switch to the other DAW

Jack, yep, that’s opposite what Roland says in the UM-One setup. but I wasn’t getting PK-5 input. there are several threads on a few forums about PK-5 interface issues and one suggested switching the MIDI connections. reversing them got me PK-5 inputs that triggered sounds from the Ableton LIVE...

Jack, Thanks for that suggestion. I’m reading up. basically, the issue is the Minitaur Editor - Ableton interface. and a quick google search has shown me I’m not this first person who’s encountered it. here’s my chain: My Oxygen61 is MIDI USB to the Mac. Connections for the other USB...

mr Szymanski (I just like spelling that correctly because you’re the 3rd I’ve met), my Mac has GB and I couldn’t get away from it fast enough as I started trying to configure the rig. perhaps I’m wrong, or perhaps I’m not the user Mr Jobs considered “intuitive”, but I think GB is geared more...

so a quick update since yesterdays’s post. a Roland UM-One Mk II arrived yesterday. I installed the driver and in AudioMIDI set up, for a moment (lol) it recognized inputs from the PK-5. Where I’m at now: following the Roland instructions, UM-ONE IN plugs into PK-5 out, UM-ONE OUT plugs into...

Requesting permission to cross the quarterdeck. and I’ll describe my system and problem, and then go do more searching of this thread to see if a player has described where I am already. thanks for your patience. I’ll offer the disclaimer that I’ve played drums a LIT longer than I’ve played...

Anyone flying OS 10.13 and using older Roland MIDI gear? I've acquired a used Roland PK-5. Using a Hosa MIDI to USB Type A cable. My Audio MIDI setup recognizes the unit, and has assigned Port 1 (MIDI In: 1, MIDI Out:1), and Port 2 (MIDI In: 0, MIDI Out 1). I have a red LED indicator on the...

just back from the luthier. my '98 MIM Jazz-V with upgrades: BADASS Bridge, Seymour Duncan Apollo pickups and a Warmouth neck. wanted to share. V compliments my '12 ASJ (not shown here for lack of a 2nd guitar stand)

I'm a brand new GK player. I fell into a used GK 700 RB-II a couple weeks ago. After I read up on it, I picked up the GK Neo212 cab and upgraded my Tech 21 to the SansAmp GED-2112. I'm loving the sound, it moves a lot of air and anything played on the 1st five B string frets on my Jazz-V...

Night 2 of the experiment also went great. I was able to even pull off my bass part and lead vocals on one of our tunes. I've found the fun.

Wow that was fun. Now that it's in the can, I guess I have to say I don't know what I was nervous about. An unexpected personnel issue turned my "one set" into the whole night. It wasn't perfect by any means, but it got done. Thanks again all who chimed in and offered their experiences and...
