midi timeout..new user and im completely stuck

MIDI TIMEOUT

Hi guys. Just bought my first mac os x 10.5.8 w/logic 9. I seem to have all the correct requirements. I also have a pro tools m box mini 2 with pro tools 7.1.1

I just installed logic and when I start it up I get this message:

Midi Timeout: Logic Pro has detected a MIDI timeout. Please restart your computer, then relaunch Logic Pro.
If the problem persists, update the drivers of all connected MIDI devices (including audio drivers with MIDI functionality) to the latest version. For instructions on removing older drivers, consult the manufacturers' documentation.

Am I missing something? I would think logic would work regardless of me not having the latest version of pro tools..i am stumped of someone could help I would be very greatful

thanks

logic studio 9, Mac OS X (10.5.8), pro tools le 7.1.1

Hi there,

Go to HD>Library>Audio

Open the MIDI (Drivers - Devices)folders and move everything DIGI related on the desktop.

Restart..

Hope it helps

Try User(your name)>Library>Audio>MIDI drivers

I think I mentioned that before...everything DIGI ...Digidesign drivers most of the times create the error you've had

If you move the contents of the MIDI folders to the desktop and restart ...solves your problem
Pro-tools and mbox will still work

I am getting the same error message just on one track each time I attempt to play. I remember seeing this error a few years ago with Logic 7 I think I had to erase and install to solve it. But Now it only happens to one track it seems to be a third party plug in issue but i can not seem to solve yet. If I do i will post it. Good Luck

i'm feeling your woe mate, just hit me today.

workaround is to start a new project and import track by track till you see where the problem is coming from, if it reproduces itself at all.

may i recommend you bounce all your parts down too to audio, at least if it comes really on top there's the option of finishing your work on another sequencer
