3. Look in the MIDI window. If the MIDI window is not visible, go up to the Window menu up
top and select “Show MIDI Window”.
4. Look for a device named “USB MIDI Device” and click it.
5. Delete the device by pressing the Delete key on your keyboard.
6. Plug the 12 Step back in to the computer. A new device should appear in Audio MIDI Setup
with the proper name, “12 Step”.
4.9.24 I see there is a new update. Should I update right now?
The day before my show?
No.
When there’s a new update available it can be very tempting to get it and update as soon as you
possibly can. While there’s nothing wrong with this urge, if you happen to have a show coming up
anytime soon (or today), it is generally advisable to hold off on updating until after your show has
passed —!or at least keep the old versions so you can go back if the need arises.
While we test everything to the best of our ability, there’s no telling what bugs may be introduced
to your setup —!the preset you’re using may have changed in a subtle way that you don’t notice;
there could be a nasty bug that didn’t get noticed because it only appears in very special
circumstances; the new firmware may not like one of your other devices; or it may respond to MIDI
in a slightly different, perhaps undesirable, way. Even fixing a bug with an update can cause
problems if you’ve already grown accustomed to the “buggy” behavior and developed the muscle
memory around it.
Always, always give yourself time to test things out before changing your performance setup.
Always. You will be much less stressed if you know what to expect from your gear and software.
This is an extremely useful suggestion for pretty much anything performance-related, not just the
12 Step.
