G2M + Focusrite issues

Post by chrismonaghan »

I have a new G2M going into the midi in on the back of my Focusrite Pro 14 (firewire), trying to hook it up to Sibelius 7 or Logic 9 on Mac. Can't seem to get anything through, it certainly wasn't plug and play so if anyones had a similar issue, it would be helpful if you could let me know how you fixed it!

When you play guitar, does the MIDI light on the G2M flash? This indicates that it is sending MIDI.

Do you have any other MIDI devices you can test with the Focusrite? Alternatively, try a loopback test by connecting the MIDI-In and MIDI-Out together on the Focusrite. Then, in Logic send MIDI to the Focusrite and also record incoming MIDI on another channel from the Focusrite. You should then be able to record what you are sending. to prove it's working, disconnect the MIDI cable and you should stop recording MIDI messages.

If this is working, when the G2M lights the MIDI light you should also get these MIDI messages recorded to Logic.
