    Default Setting Up LoopBe1 And Glovepie On Windows 7

    I've had a few people asking for help getting Midiyoke and Glovepie working together on Windows 7 in order to run scripts for modded gear.

    I still like using XP but decided to install Windows 7 64 today to try and see why people were having problems.

    I can understand some of the confusion because it's so much easier to set up on XP.

    The problem is the lack of a midimapper in Windows 7.
    Anyway here's how to get them communicating.

    Edit: Because me and fbonito have had a similar problem with Midiyoke I'm going to recommend that you use LoopBe instead of Midiyoke as it seems to be more stable on Windows 7.

    1, Download and install LoopBe1 from here

    http://www.nerds.de/en/download.html

    4, Download and open Putzlowitsch's Vista MIDI Mapper Control Panel from here

    http://www.sierrahelp.com/Utilities/...DI_Mapper.html

    From the drop down menu select Loopbe Internal Midi then click apply

    5, Download and install Glovepie from here.

    http://glovepie.org/poiuytrewq.php

    I used the top link.


    Now start Glovepie and load a script or make your own then run it

    Here is the script i made the other night for 2 gamepads which works great on XP and 7

    nice tutorial. i guess the only reason to use that midi mapper app tho is to select the default midi output port?

    in my glovepie script i just used this to select the port:

    midi.DeviceOut = 8 // device number to use
    debug = midi.OutDevName // show device name in use

    which then also shows the name of the selected device in the glovepie window. i must admit it was a bit trial and error though until i wrote some C++ code to just list the devices. not sure why glovepie doesn't let you select via device name instead of number.

    i've seen some people mentioning issues with midiyoke on win7 64bit so i'm using loopMIDI with no issues at all.

    Yes that's true.
    Selecting the midi output port is the where some people seem to be getting lost. I think Putzlowitsch's midi app will be nice and easy for most people.

    in my glovepie script i just used this to select the port:

    midi.DeviceOut = 8 // device number to use
    debug = midi.OutDevName // show device name in use

    which then also shows the name of the selected device in the glovepie window.
    Thanks for sharing that code. I didn't know you could do that
    That's why i come to these forums in sponge mode (To soak up all the knowledge)

    That's good to here.

    Did you use my script?

    If so let me know if you want anything adding to it.

    definately me too.... i didn't even realise there were apps to convert gamepad type input into midi until reading this forum.

    atm i'm working on my own code in C++ that will allow me to aggregate my controllers together and use them to control ableton and traktor at the same time. plus be able to do all my traktor mapping using lua (a game programming language that i hadnt heard of until i looked for a simple embeddable scripting language) for all the logic. i love the mapping stuff in traktor but hate the interface so this will allow me to create one massive traktor tsi that maps everything (without any modifiers) and then have complete control over them using lua.

    i bought midikatapult (a bargain at 20$ if you ask me) but it can't quite do what i need and is only really for the launchpad ofc - so i'll be using my app instead of that too.

    plus it will allow me to use my launchpad for ableton5 more like how it works in ableton8, with scrolling etc, as i dont want to fork out for a full copy of ableton8 yet.
