MIDI problems with Unisyn and Snow Leopard
Posted: Fri Jan 01, 2016 5:32 am
Hi,
First of all, let me hold up my hand as a fully-paid-up member of the Luddite Tendency - it's 2016 and I've only just made the move from PPC to Intel! Even so, I haven't jumped all that far, just as far as Snow Leopard, so that I can still run a range old, but perfectly functional, PPC programs. One of these is Unisyn (latest version, 2.1.1).
Unisyn is running in its new home, but I can't say that it's running happily. I'm getting endless MIDI errors, mostly 'deviant data (unexpected status byte)', whenever I try to communicate with my synths. I'm going through a MOTU Express XT and the hardware side of things, apart from the Mac, hasn't changed.
I've tried re-setting the XT, trashing the Unisyn preferences and setup files, and even installing Midiquest in order to do a comparison. Midiquest runs fine, which leads me to think that there's nothing inherently wrong with the hardware.
I could of course admit defeat and just buy Midiquest, but that's definitely a last resort. Does anyone have any helpful hints or comments that might get Unisyn up and running?
Many thanks.
