Question about USB

(1/5) > >>

Hi Xavier -

I have a question about USB. When I plug the FM2 into my iMac it id not recognized as a MIDI device.  Should it be? It's also not recognized on my PC.

One more: should the USB stick be visible to the Mac or PC as a drive? It would be convenient to have it work this way so that I don't have to partially dissasemble the case to get the USB stick out.

Thanks!

Mike

Hi Mike,

Your PreenFM2 should be recognized as a "PreenFM mk2" midi device on both mac an PC (and Linux and IOS).

First, Midi USB is disable by default and must be enable menu->Tools->Set->Usb Midi.

If it's still no recognized check with an aditional mini usb cable that you can plug between your computer and directly to the mini usb port of the CERB40.
If it works with this direct cable and not with the PCB->mini usb cable you built, then check the connection of the USB cable.

Making the USB stick visible from the computer is not easy at all as they are 2 different USB connection for the CERB40.
Don't forget that you can use sysex to upgrade firmware.
But I agree it would be better to see the USB stick from the computer.
