Re: Greyed Out

Ok, It's still likely to be one of the two issues that I described. A screen shot doesn't tell us anything more than that.

Re: MIDI Express 128 stopped being recognized

There are a number of issues but the MOTU MIDI driver is not one of them. The installer and Apple Security settings, OTOH are. If your unit worked over Monterey, it will work over Ventura and Sonoma. Whether your Mac is Intel or Apple Silicon makes a difference. Also, any audio or other MIDI drivers...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

NI has some suggestions and there's an experimental build of Kontakt available on request. Read about it here. https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/comment/152440#Comment_152440 I have commented on their monitor suggestions, all of which I tried and none of which worked for me. Since ...

macOS, iOS and iPadOS releases can lag up to a month but they eventually sync up.

Re: Greyed Out

It means that DP can’t see your projects. The usual cause is that you moved the project folder to a new location. Find the project, double-click and it will open DP and the app will know where it is — problem solved. I do this all the time as I manage my active and archived projects. If you have you...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

Kontakt 7.10.2 was just released. With 7.9.0... My main machine is running fine (M1 Pro)... Haven't updated yet... However... My secondary machine (M2), since updating NA2 a couple of days ago (K 7.9.0) hasn't been able to run Kontakt at all - instant crashing (some KPs/reboots) - for both AU plugi...

Re: Ode To Joy

As per BBC4 show earlier today, it was the longest symphony at the time, the first with a chorus, and was performed after only two rehearsals very soon after it was written. (And he did the score in Performer V0.001b) :rofl: Wow! That is interesting. I have to imagine that lead poisoning has been a...

Re: Logic Pro 11 coming May 13

Well... another shot across the bow. More AI features... intelligent accompaniment stuff. I don't really think it's worth it for DP to try to go toe-to-toe on this stuff, but Apple really made it tough on third party developers when they released a DAW for $199 that essentially seems to give you fr...

Re: Sam Ash stores closing

I have gotten a few genuine bargains lately on used gear from a couple of Sam Ash stores advertising on Reverb. With stores closing, negotiating down on this merch should be easy. My last score was on a Zoom Q2n-4k with the $40 aux battery case, a card, aux handle and carry case under $160 shipped—n...

Re: Apple Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adapter and MOTU audio interface dropouts.

There is firmware in the Apple TB2–TB3 adapter. A few websites are recommending that the adapter be plugged into a TB3/4 port during a macOS update so that the adapter firmware updates as well. I have no idea if this is correct since none of those sites are Apple but it’s easy enough to do. One way ...

Re: Single interface (828x)-any reason to use external clock?

… Right. I know they’re “obsolete” now but with the old PCIe-424 systems, IIRC you didn’t need any external clock. With the newer ones I can see that making sense. I’m actually going to dig out my old Lucid clock and hook it up to my 828es and 24Ai just for giggles and try it out. As long as it doe...
