Re: URGENT: Losing audio through Ultralite MK4 (RESOLVED?)

Right??? This summer I dig back into DP and will give it a test drive. I'm still not 100% sure I can post [RESOLVED!!]. But wow, the amount of crashes I experienced for so long, and they seem to have evaporated. Perhaps I can now move on to "I have to use Rosetta?" and "Oh no, VI/plug...

Re: URGENT: Losing audio through Ultralite MK4 (RESOLVED?)

Hi. Funny you should mention this. I had an odd instance two months ago wherein doing an OS security update seemed to trigger THE upgrade to Ventura. I've never had that happen before, and I am pretty sure I did not choose to upgrade vs the security patch, but I'll have to blame the pilot (me). Once...

Re: URGENT: Losing audio through Ultralite MK4 (*NOT* RESOLVED AT ALL)

Tap-tap-tap... is this thing on? So the kernel panic crashes are back. What I have I learned in the last week? 1. They DO indeed happen using DP (11.2.1), it is not only with Sibelius 2. They do NOT happen when I am not using Sibelius or DP. I can use Safari, Word, Email, Keynote all day long, all s...

Re: URGENT: Losing audio through Ultralite MK4 (RESOLVED?)

And the crashes are back. Frequent. Same kernel panics. As I am composing I am only using Sibelius, not DP, but Sib. scans the same plugins, but plugins don't seem to be the issue. I did run into reports of people who had kernel panic crashes in the past on iMac Pros, they seemed to be related to th...

Re: URGENT: Losing audio through Ultralite MK4 (RESOLVED?)

And just like that... It's back to working. No crash and running since 11 am. I have no clue. Nothing has changed. Same apps opened and everything.

Re: URGENT: Losing audio through Ultralite MK4 (RESOLVED?)

Hi, After a period of respite the issue has returned, with a vengeance. However, I'm in the middle of a big project *composing* so I am not even opening DP. The crash occurs when Sibelius 2022.12 is open. The 1st 5-6 days it worked perfectly and then the crashes started, increasing to *multiple* tim...

Re: URGENT: Losing audio through Ultralite MK4 (RESOLVED?)

Kernel panic/full crash-restart. When I return it's at the login stage. I login and get the message about something being wrong and it's restarted. I do have a million copies of the crash log.

Re: URGENT: Losing audio through Ultralite MK4 (RESOLVED?)

Hi there, I'm out of town for the next week so I'm not in front of my system. Worse, I haven't been using DP for a while. That said I believe this is the hub I bought: https://www.anker.com/products/o7510?variant=37437042884758&currency=USD&utm_medium=shopping&utm_source=bing&utm_con...

Re: 88 key keyboard w/programable weight???

Thanks Mike. My friend is going to check out Yamaha, I had already suggested them w/out knowing anything about the different settings you mention. I just figured they were good keyboards that didn't post a fortune. He's a really DYI tinkerer, he makes bikes, grows hops and grows beer, tunes his own ...

Re: 88 key keyboard w/programable weight???

Thanks. I can't imagine a more "bespoke product" that what he envisions! ;-) He just texted me that you could replace the springs with sensors and... I have NO clue about any of this, but I'd imagine that whatever language(s) run keyboards it's not open sourced to allow anyone to hack in a...

88 key keyboard w/programable weight???

Hi, I have a friend who is an amateur pianist, reformed physicist, and now Silicon Valley coder and he asked me today about an "88 MIDI keyboard with programmable weighting that can be changed to imitate different instruments, like piano, cembalo, Rhodes, Clavinet, Hammond." While it's a c...

Re: Creating larger templates in DP 11

Thanks, as always Mike. I haven't been doing a lot of work with DP recently, so some things are not quite "current." I was under the assumption with hardware/software advances in the last 4-6 years that the 16 MIDI tracks per instance was the limit, I never went beyond that, and routinely ...

Re: Creating larger templates in DP 11

Hi Bayswater, Huh... so if I were setting my template on my iMacPro I should create a whole series of instrument VI instantiations of, say, Kontakt, each with 4 tracks each? Ex. 1 instantiation for just Vn l1 for arcos, 1 for pizza, 1 for con sord, and then 1 for Vln2 arcos etc.? I'd end up with a w...

Re: Which external SSD for iMac Pro?

Hi Mike, I know this is an old thread but rather than starting a new one I hope I can simply tag onto this one. iMac Pro (2017), 3.2 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon W, 32GB RAM, OS 12.6. I'm running out of space on my 2 Samsung external SSD T5s (each 1 TB) that I use for my VIs/sample libraries. I thought I'd...

Re: Catalina > Big Sur > Monterey

Hi, not sure if this is pertinent to you, but when I went up to 12.5 on my iMacPro I had to update Waves to v.14 and it now totally conflicts with Avid Sibelius. Crashes SIbelius. I have to take the Wave Shell out to disable Waves. Meanwhile Waves works fine with DP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
