CbB will not install midi player
User 905133 replied to bertus weyers's topic in Instruments & Effects
In almost 100% of the cases where I saw that message, another piece of software (such as a utility program) was using the port. TIP: You can put a phrase in quotation marks in the Forum Search Bar and set the scope to Everywhere. Here are the results I got from looking up "not enough memory." There might be other causes. Also, you can look for posts from people whose explanations you like. -
Good day, Hope someone can give me advice: I've been using a Casio lk-240 keybord for the last few years as my midi player without incident. Today, when I wanted to use it, CbB would not install it. Instead gave me a message "not enough memory as warned by Windows" or something to that effect. This is the first time I've ever got this message. Fact is now I'm stuck and cannot use it No problem in Kontakt, only with CbB. Some advice please? Kind regards Bertus.

Is there any other software that might be using the keyboard, such an Arturia configuration utility/tool? In my experience, 99%-100% of the time the "Not enough memory available . . . ." is a message from Windows because something else is using the midi device.

WTF?????? What was the original question? The one about "not enough memory" for a midi device? For me that was always, "something else is using the device." This ^^^. In 100% of the cases with my own PC and those of others I have helped, the solution has been to stop the "something else." While the software using the MIDI device (or port), could be a web browser, I can't recall that being the case for more than 2% of the cases. There was a time in the infancy of what became Web MIDI that some browsers wouldn't ask if it was OK for a site to use / take control of a MIDI device / port, but due to potential security issues (among others) it became important for browsers to ask first as the default. I cannot imagine that Chrome has backslid on that. Of course, if a user gives blanket permission ( as in [ X ] Never Ask as opposed to allowing only specific sites), it could be an issue. If the issue is "Where in Chrome is the setting to say [ X ] Always Ask (or [ X } Never Allow, if indeed browsers now default to allow sites to take over MIDI devices / ports, that's one question. If the issue is "something else" is using the MIDI device / port, I would look for some software that is using the device / port. It could be (for example) a utility such as MIDI-Ox, a standalone soft synth, another DAW or utility, a device / hardware / interface configuration utility, etc. If the issue is the computer locking up / freezing, that is yet another issue. (See suggestions above.) What problem are you trying to solve?

I tried selecting the Akai MPK249 MIDI Controller in the MIDI Devices Inputs and Outputs page in Preferences and I got this message MIDI Device Failure "The following Midi Port(s) could not be enabled" "The ports will remain unchecked in MIDI Device preferences" "There is not enough memory available" Indicating that the memory is Full, I never got this message before, especially for a MIDI controller. Anybody know what this message means ? Thanks -
Hi, I've looked through the archives, checked YouTube, M-Audio website -- and no luck. My Keystation 49es isn't working or only works intermittently. It looks like Cakewalk recognizes the device -- there are two check boxes under "devices" and "inputs" -- one labeled "Keystation 49es," the other labeled "MIDIIN2 (Keystation 49es)." However, when I check the boxes, I'm getting an error message: "Midi Device Failure -- Reason as reported by Windows, There is not enough memory available." That seems pretty unlikely. I've also checked and used different USB inputs and cables. I can play instruments on the piano roll etc. but even when it was working, I've never been able to use the Keystation 49es for Native Instrument products -- although this may be a separate issue. Thanks! Z-Book17G3 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.71 GHz 64.0 GB (63.9 GB usable) 64-bit

Unless there's either not enough memory to go around, or the memory management is being naughty and trying to grab memory that's already been allocated and is protected? 🤔

FR: Add "Retry" Button to MIDI Device Failure Dialog Box
User 905133 posted a topic in Feedback Loop
Once in a while when I boot Cakewalk I forget I had other music software running (MIDI-OX, a standalone product, etc.) that uses a MIDI device (usb keyboard, etc.) I use automatically with Cakewalk. As almost everyone who has done this knows, this causes the poorly worded and misleading Microsoft generated "Not enough memory available" message. It is easy enough (1a) to closed down the other program(s) or (1b) to change the MIDI devices used in the other program(s), etc. and then (2a) to shut-down/reboot Cakewalk or (2b) to go into [P]references to re-enable the MIDI device(s), etc. However, it would be handy (that is, less intrusive to workflows) to have a "Retry" button after doing (1a) or (1b) so users don't have to do (2a) or (2b). Not a bug, not critical, but I suspect some users might be less frustrated by the misleading "not enough memory" message--especially if there were also a message (or an info button) that said something like "Check to see if other software is using the failed MIDI Device. If so, [steps to take]"). -
^^ Good advice here. The "not enough memory" error is a generic Windows error that Cakewalk is just passing on - basically it means something else has taken control of the MIDI device. This could well be the reason you're getting hangs, because something else is grabbing the driver, and Chrome is a common smoking gun.

When you say “Cakewalk Freezing”, can you be working away, and then the mouse and keyboard stops responding, and you’re left with a static image of what ever is on your screen, cakewalk session and all? That, to me, sounds like a hardware issue. As far as the “There is not enough memory available”, check to make sure nothing else is using the Axiom 61 driver. I have seen other posts that indicate that Google Chrome might be a culprit here. If you are using Google Chrome 1. In chrome navigate to 'Settings > Advanced Settings > Content Settings'. 2. Locate the 'MIDI devices full control' section. 3. Enable the 'Do not allow any sites to use system exclusive messages to access MIDI devices' option. Personally, I would also disable some of those background tasks tat you don't need to be running. (like Avidappmanhelper, GPUtweak, Monitor, etc) ASGT.exe is a ASUS GPU Tweak used for over clocking your graphics card. This should not be required on a DAW PC. In fact, I would remove this. In fact, overclocking too far can lead to freezes. Personally, On a DAW PC, I would set everything to stock and not overclock anything what so ever. (CPU, GPU, RAM). If none of these help, and if you are confident, maybe open up your PC and remove and reinsert your ram modules. Also, if you have a graphics card, try the same with that. Remember, only if you are confident getting to this level. Otherwise, get someone you trust as certified to do this for you.

I'm having a problem within Cakewalk where the application freezes and becomes “not responding." This requires me to force close the application. When I do so, it will either not start, or will give a message saying I do not have enough memory for it. PICTURE1 – These are the specs for my computer running Cbb. PICTURE2 – When Cbb comes up as “not responding”, CTRL-ALT-DELETE, this is what comes up in Task Manager at the top of “Apps.” PICTURE3 – Under “Background Processes”, this is what still remains,after force closing Cakewalk from under “apps” above. It does not terminate for about 5 minutes. PICTURE4 - When I relaunch Cakewalk, this is the amount of memory and processing power I have. However… PICTURE5 –I get this message saying there is not enough memory to map my hardware, running contradictory to Picture 4. I cannot use my MIDI controllers when I relaunch the app. The only thing I can do is to restart my computer which, on average, has to be done about 3 times a day. I cannot be productive with this happening. A Cakewalk user suggested that there is a “ghost process” that did not close when I ended the process, which could be contributing to this… Per his suggestion, I uploaded the CWP file (without audio), and the system dump file I created when it crashed again, and have sent it to support.cakewalk.com. While I await a remedy, would anybody have any suggestions for resolving this problem soonest? Thank you so much for your help. Attachment(s)

I can't use my MIDI keyboard. It comes up with this message: It says that there is not enough memory available but I have 32 GB of RAM.

Simultaneous USB MIDI devices from multiple vendors
Jeremy Oakes replied to David Thiel's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
FWIW, I get this « not enough memory » error (on a 64Gb machine) when i start a programme using midi (Guitar Pro for example) BEFORE i fire up Cakewalk. Once i close them both then launch Cakewalk followed by Gtr Pro the error goes away. My midi device is an Oxygen 61 v4 J -
Simultaneous USB MIDI devices from multiple vendors
slartabartfast replied to David Thiel's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
And probably some difficulty playing them all at once as well.😁 Of course the workaround if the problem is just too many active connections is to disconnect unused devices. If that does not work then you need to look for something like this: You do not say what your OS is, but in older versions of Windows there was a MIDI device limit, and the system typically "remembered" each connection (multiple memories for the same device possible) so that if you did not delete the "remembered" devices you could use up that limit, and get the misleading "not enough memory" message that originated in the OS. Reportedly Win 10 has a much larger limit on devices, but possibly a driver for one of your devices is limited to accessing the older system. You might try deleting ghost devices: https://www.ghacks.net/2018/02/14/ghostbuster-remove-ghosted-devices-on-windows/#:~:text=A ghost device refers to,monitor%2C or any other device. -
Simultaneous USB MIDI devices from multiple vendors
User 905133 replied to David Thiel's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
In my experience, the "not enough memory available" most often comes from software trying to access a midi port/device already being used by another piece of software. This has been mentioned many times in the Cakewalk Forum. I know--I have mentioned it myself (as have others). Let me see if I can find some links. Better yet, just search the forum for "not enough memory" [with the quotation marks]. -
Hello all, it's been a long time, I'm just getting up and running again. I'm trying to connect a Launchpad Pro MK3 to Sonar X3. The Launchpad is listed in MIDI Device Inputs, but when I check the box next to "LPProMK3 MIDI" and then hit "apply" I get a window that states "MIDI device failure. The following MIDI port could not be enabled" It lists the "Reason, as reported by Windows ... There is not enough memory available" (Windows 7 btw) Not enough memory? I have ample. Does anyone know what this is and how to navigate around it? Anyone else using a Launchpad with Sonar or CbB? Thanks everyone

Since the update, I've been getting this alot when I open Cakewalk. Both of my MIDI devices don't load with "There is not enough memory available..." as "Reported by Windows". Once I was able to clear it by turning my devices off and back on, but all other times I have to log out to clear it. It works the first time I open Cakewalk, but if I close Cakewalk and reopen it, I get these errors again. The only applications I have open is Chrome with 2 tabs and the Groove Windows player. Task manager shows I have plenty of memory available. Again, I only saw this maybe once a month before the update. Since Cakewalk doesn't crash, there is no dump file.

This ^^^^. As a long-time MIDI user in every instance that I ever got this message ("not enough memory available'), the cause was one piece of software trying to use a midi port that was in use by another piece of software. I seem to recall someone in the forum saying that Cakewalk is passing on a message that was reported by Windows. The "not enough memory" message has been discussed in a number of threads that I have seen. I never tried UWP to see if that allowed multiple software use of a single port. My MIDI gear tends to have problems with UWP, but it should be easy enough to test: (1) boot a utility like midi-ox and while the ports are in use, (2) boot your favorite DAW. If the DAW can switch between MME and UWP, try both. UPDATE: Did the basic test. UWP gave a different message in the same dialog as under MME: "The specified device handle is invalid." IIRC, Craig Anderton illustrated a work around for using two different midi ports on one synthesizer (possibly 1 control/editor and 1 channelized note data), but using a utility (such as midi-ox) as a midi router so one port connected the hardware and the software/control editor and a different port was used for channel data between the synth and the DAW. (Not 100% sure, but should be easy enough to find that thread.) The go-to solution that always met my needs was to just have just one piece of software trying to access a midi port.

Hi, I am using Samson Graphite M25 MIDI keyboard. Recently downloaded Graphite software in order to control the DAW with M25. But "Memory Is Not Enough" message appears when I connect it. I am using Windows 11. Please would you help me? Thanks! Kishan

Writing from memory (my... not RAM): computers are using numbers to report errors. And different libraries use the same numbers for own (so different) errors. If an error comes from one library but the text for it is asked using another, obviously the text has nothing to do with real problem. So, as I remember, standard code which corresponds to "not enough memory" is something like "device is busy" in one other library (I can't remember which exactly, I just remember the number clash). I will not go into details, but that particular case has no easy fix. That confusing message appears in many applications for many years...

The "Not enough memory available" error means the device is already open by another application. Make sure Cakewalk isn't running when you install the Softube software.

Greetings. I am just getting into my Arturia minilab mkII midi controller. Never played any keyboards, acoustic nor electric before in my life. In other words, I'm about as ignorant as they come when it comes to this Arturia minilab. So....my question is I am running it on Windows 10, 8gb of ram, 3.4 processor....and I open CbB to record a preset synth track from arturia analog lab 4 I get this from CBb when setting Preferences/midi/devices: midi device failure. the following midi port(s) could not be enabled. the ports will remain unchecked in midi device preferences. inputs: device name: arturia mini lab mkII. reason: There is not enough memory available. outputs: device name: arturia mini lab mkII. reason: There is not enough memory available. So, my question is...seriously? 8 gb of ram isn't enough?? or, is this related to another setting i don't know about yet? I attached a sceenshot. TIA.

Hello All ''' Im having issues with softube fader... if i install the software and then open either Sonar or Bandlabs i get a msg not enough memory cant load softube and its disables my midi ..... what am I missing ? and the fader moves volume and pan ??

As for the "not enough memory" issue, is that related to a MIDI device/port? I have gotten that many times when SONAR/Cakewalk cannot access a midi device because another program is using it. In my case, it almost always happens when I an testing a midi device with midi-ox, forget that I didn't close that down, and then boot Sonar/Cakewalk. This conflict caused by a second program trying to access a non-multiple client midi port/device comes from MS Windows and Cakewalk is just reporting it to you. I have seen cases where software that comes with a device (e.g., DJ hardware software) is using the MIDI port and therefore is not available to other software.
