Re: New Mac, lastest Sonoma, Fastlane is not seen

Thanks Mike, I will defiitely keep this in mind when I update my Air's internal to Sonoma, or whatever MacOS follows that. There's no pressing reason for me to do it now.

Re: New Mac, lastest Sonoma, Fastlane is not seen

In fairness to MOTU, I have to jump back in here and say... YES IT'S ME. What I didn't mention at the top of this thread was that when I got the new 14" MacBook Pro with Sonoma, I migrated my user account and apps to it from a Time Machine backup I had - a backup of my MacBook Air with Ventura ...

Re: No MOTU MIDI timepiece in MIDI studio...

I got a reply from Matt on my ticket with MOTU regarding my Mac with Sonoma not seeing the Fastlane. Basically he told me to fully uninstall the driver, then reinstall. I guess he missed the part I included in my original text where I mentioned I was returning that Mac and going back to using my 15&...

Re: New Mac, lastest Sonoma, Fastlane is not seen

Thanks Mike. For once I can say "it's not me!" :-)

I chimed in on that thread. I'm a little frustrated after spending hours troubleshooting. Looking at the CME U6 MIDI Pro interface right now.

Re: No MOTU MIDI timepiece in MIDI studio...

My saga with this is in another thread but you have confirmed that it's NOT ME!! Thanks. I had the exact same situation with my Fastlane - the driver is definitely installed, MacOS saw my Fastlane in the "System Report" of System Settings - it just didn't load the driver when my Fastlane w...

Re: New Mac, lastest Sonoma, Fastlane is not seen

Just to tie a small bow here, I did file a support ticket with MOTU regarding my Fastlane not working in the latest Sonoma (14.2.1). However, my situation is a little odd - I bought this new M3 MacBook Pro last week when I thought my 15" MacBook Air was gone forever. I just found the Air - and ...

Re: New Mac, lastest Sonoma, Fastlane is not seen

I just corrected the thread title and OP to say i have the latest SONOMA, not Ventura. Sorry for any confusion.

Re: New Mac, lastest Ventura, Fastlane is not seen

I saw that 30-minute warning. I definitely went to the setting within that time frame.

I'll try a deep dive into the security settings, maybe there were changes from Ventura to Sonoma. Boy is this frustrating,.

New Mac, lastest Sonoma, Fastlane is not seen

I just got a brand new 14" MacBook Pro and updated to the latest version of Sonoma (14.2.1). I downloaded the latest MIDI driver - Mac v91217 - then followed the instructions in MOTU's tech note "Enabling MOTU drivers in macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later." The extension is not even sho...

I'm sure the answer would be no - but that's OK; I'm not interested. As much as I'm irked by what I went through, Perfomer Lite being free is pretty sweet - it certainly has more going on than something like Garage Band, that's for sure.

Re: Performer Lite - sounds & instruments, was Sweetwater lying?

Thanks guys. I have a little egg on my face. The UVI soundbank was included in my PL install - 1.5GB right there. The UVI "Workstation" instrument also was installed - just not in the MOTU folder! It's there with my other 3rd-party VIs though. And - I did find those downloads, not sure how...

Performer Lite - sounds & instruments, was Sweetwater lying? [edit - NO!]

I know some of you may be getting sick of me and my Performer Lite Qs, but here's another one: I just saw a youtube from Sweetwater that describes PL as coming with 100 virtual instruments and 6GB of loops and samples - here's the link to the exact time in the video: https://youtu.be/OsJip1JbvQc?t=3...

Re: Performer Lite - MIDI input source stuck on "any"

I don't think they're quite there yet on the multi-record in PL. This has come up in old threads. I wasn't able to find any way to select a MIDI input device for a track. If you go to the MIDI track protocol setting it tells you that 'Multirecord is disabled!'. As far as enabling it, who knows and ...

Re: Performer Lite - MIDI input source stuck on "any"

You can tell I have some time on my hands, but here is as clear an explanation I can give of what I'm seeing and what I've done to troubleshoot this:

Re: Performer Lite - MIDI input source stuck on "any"

It's a little surprising that PL has a different approach to multi-record than DP. The manual says: I know the manual says that - on page 75; I quoted it in my first post of this thread! I've been trying to tell you guys that Perfomer Lite is not allowing me to select a MIDI source ! "Click in...
