USB Midi Controllers

[DazzlingDuke]

I think the LaunchKey Mini MK2 overflows on CC messages from the knobs. I think it should be taken off this list, unless someone can post a patch that doesn't crash when you turn the knobs at any decent speed. I would be happy to verify.

USB Overflow using Novation Launchkey Mini MK2

I'm having an issue connecting a Novation Launchkey Mini MK2 to the Axoloti core on a Windows 10 Surface Book using Axoloti build version 1.0.12-0. When using the knobs faster than a slow speed, I "crash" the patch. No more midi messages will be interpreted until the controller is power cycled by removing the USB cable between the Axoloti and the MK2. I've tried two different Axoloti core boards, I've cycled through 5 different USB cables that I've used on development projects and am relativel…

I can confirm the Novation Launchpad Mini has partial functionality.

Double Update:

The bug I found was fixable by modifying the Axoloti Midi code. I've updated the object and the code is in the repo.

Still, if you're interested:

I've posted a basic patch here:

Believotron/Axoloti-Patches

Here is the basic midi mapping:

M-audio keystation 49 mkIII works...dunno if this counts but teensy LC works as well through usb...still haven't been by the shop to test it's midi capabilities using its tx pin yet...

Android doesn't seem to work. It crashed both my phone and my board :V

Nektar Impact LX61 works like a charm.

Any experience with Faderfox? Thinking about UC4 model.

Kawai ES6 Digital piano working.
What about connecting usb devices as mouse and PC keyboard? Which kind of information do they manage?

Haven't had time to read this entire thread, but if anyone has one of those AKAI USB MIDI Mixers, I'd really love to know whether Axoloti is able to switch the button lights on/off on demand.

Haven't had time to read this entire thread,

search tool is your friend

I typed in Akai... and first hit is

Akai Midimix - not working when usb hosted

Hi, tried to connect my Akai Midimix to USB port, somehow it seems to be recognized by the Core (see log details below). But when I assign midi ccs to some objects there is no feedback once I move the knobs/faders. I have setup my Korg microKorg with the same midi cc assignments as the Akai Midimix. This works without problem. Sidenote: when I use the Midimix with my iConnectMidi device and connect into the Axoloti Core DIN IN Midi port, it works without problem. Log details: Axoloti says:…

later down on the post, it seems some have got it working.

now, you don't mention which model... so hard to say if this is relevant or not (best to be specific when you want to know about particular device) ... you should follow up on the above thread, if you want more details.

Cheers Mark, I was just referring to the one called MIDIMIX, the same one Matt used in that recent video of his. As far as I can tell, it works, but I noticed there were no lights in use.

Reason I ask is because having eight buttons below three sets of knobs would make it a great device for a step sequencer, but unless the lights can be turned on/off on demand by an Axo patch, there would be no way to have the lights indicate the step position, or which notes are active etc.

EDIT: I see there is talk about using the lights in that thread, great stuff

Arturia KeyStep confirmed working. If anyone has one, there's about 3/4 inch of headroom underneath the touch strips--enough to fit an Axoloti core sans-midi!

[William]

Is it possible that the M-Audio Keystation61 is not compatible with it?

I have no problem using the axoloti with my QX49, but I don't get anything with my Keystation.

[timeorspace]

@William my Keystation61es works perfectly with axoloti.
I suggest getting MidiOx to test that you are getting midi data from the unit?

Tried with my Google Pixel Android phone as a USB device and it works.

[Sebo]

Can I ask what app are you using? Most of them only works over WiFi...
Thank you.

[servandisco]

there is an "ipad" mode (i think It was pressing four center pads while plugging, not 100% sure) in which the leds draw less current and Quneo will work fine in axoloti plug and play without extra hussle

[Yot]

I tried very quickly with an app called Midi Keyboard (here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobileer.midikeyboard&hl=en). Plug your phone to the Axoloti (big USB port). Then you have to choose "Use device as MIDI" in the Android System USB notification of your phone. Then, in the app, in the "Receiver for keys" menu, choose "Android USB Peripheral" and it should work.

Roli Seaboard Block 25 works,
Akai Synthstation 25 works.

P71 Digital Piano by Yamaha works:

I simply plugged it into the axoloti core, using a usb, powered on the digital piano, connected the axoloti core to my computer, and then opened the axoloti app.

The console noticed a usb device attached and printed the following message:

The first time I plugged it in and got it to work, the above message printed. However, subsequently I did not receive this lengthy detailed message about the midi controller, but it still works. Can anyone explain to me why I do not get the detailed message (or if you need more info to answer my question)? In any case, I'm happy it works.

I was able to create a basic synth to test that my digital piano was properly communicating to the axoloti core.
