MIOS Studio beta7

MIDIbox Tools & MIOS Studio
1

Hi All,

Another incremental beta release of MIOS Studio is available:

  http://www.ucapps.de/mios_download.html

There are a number of improvements over the previous release, most importantly a bugfix for people using the PIC18F4620 chip. Other improvements include MIDI Filter bugfixes, experimental support for 14bit controllers, coloured text in the MIDI Port Monitors, etc.

Hi Adam,

I tried out the new beta last night and it works fine on OS 10.4.7.

The window bug is still there, but that’s no big deal.

It was the first time I used it for Hex uploads…works like a charm. God we have it easy these days :wink:

Till next time,

Rowan

Hi, i tried out mios and its great but i also installed midiox 15 minutes after and tried it out and when i tried mios again it crashed so i uninstalled midiox rebooted and it still crashed, i even tried out another copy of mios and it did the same thing (freeze).

I guess something from midiox is still installed and is incompatible with mios

any help would be appreciated

Thanks

I’m running MIOS Studio and MIDI-Ox mostly in parallel w/o issues.

With which operation system are you working, and which MIDI interface are you using?

Best Regards, Thorsten.

my os is xp pro and my midi switcher is m-audio midisport 4x4

mios will freeze (not crash my system) every time and only since installing midi-what i find strange is that i removed midi-ox and it still freezes up.

thanks

I run XP Pro with MIOS Studio and Midi-Ox together with an M-Audio Quattro, never had any problems. What Java version are you using?

I DL jdk-1_5_0_08-windows-i586-p.exe until i installed midi-ox

thanks

Are you able to provide some more details as to what you mean by ‘freezing’. Does the program start at all, are you seeing the splash screen when it it first starts? Does it only freeze when you do something in particular?

1 hint on the new beta release (7.4)

when i close the application and start it again, on “Midi Device Routing” all connections are disconnected…on “MIOSStudio_beta4_4.jar” its all like the last start :wink:

Hi Adam

The website for MIOS Studio gives an old link for the Plumstone plug-in (required for Mac OS X users only).  The new link is www.mandolane.co.uk

Sorry i have been busy.

What i mean by freeze is that it wont respond to the mouse, keyboard ect and i cant shutdown i have to power down.

Let me add my setup since it works good for me!!

I have WinXPSP2 with M-Audio’s Audiophile 2496 card for midi. MIDI yoke and LoopBE1 is also installed.

cheers!!

I’m not sure what is causing your system to ‘freeze’ - I’ve never heard of anyone else having a similar problem with MIOS Studio. Could you try and delete the saved settings and restarting MIOS Studio.

To delete the saved settings in Windows:

  1. Go to Start > Run, type in regedit and press OK

  2. In the Registry Editor, Go to the folder: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\org

  3. Delete the midibox folder

This will delete any saved settings in MIOS Studio. Please try restarting MIOS Studio beta7_4 and let me know if the error still occurs.

Adam,

I was wondering were are those MIOS info/settings are being stored. I am new to this forum.

thanks for that info.

There is a new tool for “IntelMacs” for supporting MIDI under Java: MandolaneMidi2_04 instead of the PlumbstoneV1_3.

It seems that this combination doesn’t work with the beta 7.4 release.

And with the Plumbstone the MIOS Studio will be closed as soon as you do the routing.

Anybody knows a workaround?

Is it possible to load the MIOS and Applications with a PIC burner (like bootstrap)?

thanks!

All right, now I know why u have problems ;D

As a first workaround I would suggest you go for the .syx-conversion and send it with SysExLibrarian*. I’ve set the timing (in the prefs) to 750ms pause between messages…

*if you’re on OSX; If you are running Windows on your IntelMac, I think this might be a more general problem that’s OS-related, see this shortly posted problem: http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=7939.0

Best,

Michael

This sounds like a MIDI Loop to me. See if disconnecting one of the MIDI cables between the MidiBox and the computer stops the freeze. If so, then we can try to figure out why you have a loop.

:-[

I now seem to be having trouble with the MIOS Studio download and unzip

I have the file from

http://www.midibox.org/mios_studio/MIOSStudio_beta7_4.jar

which lands as

MIOSStudio_beta7_4.jar.zip

but WinZip doesn’t want to work with it and gives an error

" Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive

If you downloaded the file, try downloading the file again "

I’ve done this a few times with the same result
