UART, CONTROL, UART2, ....aaaaa

PITmaster · Nov 30, 2005, 10:19 AM

Sorry but I have to ask you again about kX UART.
I'm kX user for 3 years and I thought I understand this issue, but now when I bought Audigy2 I realized I don't.

1. Is kX UART input, output or both input and output device?

2. If I have midi keyboard and external synth player with midi_in interface, and I want to play through pc - I have to select kX UART as input and the same kX UART as output device?

3. Is Audigy2's kX UART2 the another independent midi in/out interface?

4. How exactly kX Control device is routed to kX Uart device and is it routed to kX Uart2 device too (Audigy2 cards)?

control is for dsp plugin automation
uart is the gameport
uart2 is the midi port on the baydrive/ad_ext header

1. It is both, in and out (gameport)
2. Yes
3. Yes, see above
4. Afaik there´s no direct connection - it is only an input from applications to the DSP to automate DSP-plugins, so it´s a software thing. You have to connect the hardware UART with the "Control" manually via a soft-sequencer or another application like Midi-OX.

IIRC, midi data coming from kx uart_midi_in,
is *always* routed to DSP-Automation.
This has changed since 38i however (check changelog).

Thanks

I can't try it yet. I'm SB0244 user.

EMUAPS kX Uart is routed to EMUAPS kX Control (card0) - checked. But Audigy kX Uart1 is not routed to Audigy kX Control (card1) - is it ok?
I'm 3538h user and there is no Uart-Control routing option in driver compatibility.
When I play soundfonts via EAMUAPS kX Uart, device stop wotking after short time. Then I have to choose EMUAPS kX Control and back to Uart again. It happens with Vienna and FLStudio5 after 15sec when I play fast, after 30sec when I play normal and after a minute when I play slowly. CubaseSX works fine.

I can play via EMUAPS kX Control too. Then nothing wrong happens.

Do anybody noticed that?

I think it's a kind of buffer overflow. It happens only after the first trying to play through kX Control device. Then Uart starts hangs. Everything goes back to right after kX Mixer application restart.

Audigy2's Uart1 is not routed to kX Control so there is no problem until I have no chance to play through its Control device.

The same with 3537

Hey PITmaster?

Have you tried to connnect the devices manually with MIDI-OX / MIDI-YOKE-application running in background?!

@LeMury: Thanks for clarification again

PITmaster · Dec 2, 2005, 10:24 AM

No, but how exactly? And what for?

BTW: I've just tried 3538i and it works with SB0244! I read it doesn't work with SB0240 so I didn't even try before. But it works

On SB0244 kX Control is never routed to kX Uart1 and 3538i's Control-Uart routing option doesn't matter in fact.
