Hi all, and thanks for taking the time to read this. I have a MOTU 828 mk3 Firewire only unit. Recently I upgraded from a 2010 Mac Pro to a 2013 Trash Can. Now obviously to connect the 828 to the Mac I'm using the TB2 to FW adaptor. But its the only thing on that specific thunderbolt bus. Initially ...

Hi All, Just looking for a bit of advice and feedback from any one using a Behringer X-Touch unit with DP. Essentially how compatible is it with DP. And how users have set it up HUI or MCU. And/or have they had to mess around to get it working correctly. Are there any limiting factors or does it jus...

Hi All, I have 'possibly' found a easier solution. I have a 828 Mk 3 FW only interface and have just done a clean install of Catalina. I installed the MOTU Catalina drivers and as expected the interface does not show up. Now fortunately for me I have had a older machine running High Sierra which had...

Hi all My thanks for the replies. Things seem to be working now but couldn't give an exact reason why. However I did re-seat all the FW cables, reinstalled the audio drivers and factory reset the 828. While individually non of these things had an effect first time repeating this and the usual power ...

Hi all I have a 828 Mk3 Firewire unit and last night I was playing some iTunes music out through it. Any how a few songs in there was a short static/digital distortion sound from the unit and then no audio and not just through the speakers but also the meters on the unit stopped showing signs of any...

Many thanks

That indeed did the trick.

Hi all I've just got MachFive v3.1.4 x64 and I'm clearly missing something when it comes to running as a plug in. Now the stand-a-lone version seems to work ok but when I use as a plug in inside DP8.04 by going to Project > Add Tracks > Instrument Tracks > MachFive (Stereo) it ads a track and shows ...

Interest point on this cheap upgrade (for UK customers using musictracks). MX4 seems to be available still (Jan 2013) for £82.80 but to get it to show up at this price you have to select MachFive 3 upgrade then proceed to the checkout were it's then offered. Interestingly once added to your basket y...

Hi all Got an issue with MIDI set up and the 828 mk3. I've just had to re wire the 'studio' and now the MIDI side of the 828 keeps giving me a new icon every time I boot, greying the old out and breaking the connection to the keyboard. So I get 828 mk3 then 828 mk3 #2 and 828 mk3 #3 and so on everyt...

Hi all I have a DDX3216 on it's way and could do with some advice. I'd like to set up a MIDI track in DP for each of the physical tracks/aux/sends etc on the DDX3216. But with regards to the mixing board in DP I would like to remap the volume slider from controller 7 to controller 1 as the DDX3216 h...

Hi all I have a 828mk3 (firewire) interface connected to the mac running (DP7). Need some advice on word clock. Firstly with regards the mac pros spdif connections if I create a aggregated device in the Apple Audio setup and ad these ports to it assigning clock to the 828 should I have any problems?...

I appreciate that this may not be answerable but what's the state of play with MX4? Is it likely to go EOL like unisyn (which probably hasn't officially gone EOL) or is it due an upgrade very soon. I only ask as I was looking at upgrading MachFive here in the UK and the UK distributor is offering a ...

Thanks for the reply.

Hi can some confirm the following. With regards the adat ports that can be used as a TOSlink spdif optical port can you have one pair as TOS/op spdif and one as adat or must both be one or the other. Cheers

Hi and thanks for the reply. That clears a lot up and I think I'll look for something cheaper. As I was looking at running an Alesis QSR through the optical and Emu proteus through the spdif (@48K) then if the remaining i/o's are restricted to 48 there's no point in the 192k interface.

Cheers
