Audio/MIDI Setup not in settings. Where do I find it?

[Boyd Gross II]

I’m trying to setup a Roland TD17 up and when I click Settings, I don’t see “Audio/MIDI Setup” as an option.  What am I doing wrong?

 

UPDATE:  On the standalone, I see the option but when I open SD in a drum track in REAPER, Audio/MIDI SETUP isn’t in the settings menu.  I have a USB plugged into a usb hub because the cable is an older usb and my Mac only has USB C.

Thank you!

If you’re talking about OSX’s audio/MIDI setup you can find it in

Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI setup

I was talking about within Superior Drummer Standalone or when I put it into my DAW.  When I’m looking at the Superior Drummer program, I click Settings, the option for “AUDIO/MIDI SETUP” isn’t an option.  If I open the Superior Drummer standalone program, it has the AUDIO/MIDI SETUP but says there is no MIDI device detected.  I have the updated driver for Monterey but it still isn’t showing up.

My Mac only has USB-C plugins but I’m using a USB hub to run the USB-B to the USB-C hub.  No luck.

Did you set your TD-17 USB-mode to “Vendor”? Setup > USB. If “Generic” is selected, it will not work. Turn the dial to select “Vendor”. Then restart the module. It should work now.

Yep.  Driver mode is set to VENDOR.

You won’t see an option for audio MIDI setup in SD when it’s in your daw because the daw is handling these things. The usual thing I tell people when they have MIDI problems is to download the free snoize MIDI monitor utility program. See here: https://www.snoize.com/  It runs outside your daw. It will help you to see what’s going on with your MIDI stream. For instance with your ekit connected hit a pad and see if snoize responds with a note value. You may have to make connections in OSX audio MIDI setup. I use a MIDI interface with 8 channels I/O and while my Mac sees the interface I have to make connections from each MIDI device to the interface.

Is your USB hub self-powered or does it use a wall wart? Make sure the hub is plugged in and powered on before starting your computer. And don’t forget to select the proper MIDI preset in SD’s MIDI in/edrums page.

I figured it out!  I like to tell people that I’m 90% doofus 100% of the time.

I thought I got the right driver but I didn’t.  I had to uninstall the wrong driver (for the Mac update before 11) and then install the driver for 11/12.  After that, it seemed to not work but I had to “insert a virtual instrument as a new track” kind of thing and that worked immediately.
