I’ve succeeded in getting the automat to work with two different midi devices that use 5pin din connectors.
I am still unable to succeed in getting usb midi to work from a computer.
I have tried garage band both from a MacBook Pro and from an ipad, both with, and without, an external keyboard. (M-audio keystation)
I have tried other software previously.
Two different A-B usb cables (one with, and one without, an adapter).
I have tried this with, and without, having the 5pin-din attached at the same time.
I have no trouble getting the automat to learn the 5pin after failing to learn the usb.
I did notice that the midi learn light does not go out after a usb attempt, but also that it stays on after the automat is powered off, suggesting that it is still pulling power over usb when the 9v adapter is unplugged.
This may be normal, I have no basis to compare.
So, I have tried multiple cables and multiple input devices over usb and fail to get automat to learn that way.
Any suggestions on what to try next?
