i used M5 when it first came out and then let it go when ver 2 never materizlized. I went to K3 and have spent a lot of time trying to get it to go in the past few days. It is TOO deep! I will use it for NI files, but am purchasing Mt ver 2 to use in DP---seems to make more sense to me.......

896HD not passing audio to speakers

Hi all. This may be operator error, but I don't know. What works: When I play a software synth in DP, let's say Absynth, the information travels from Macbook via firewire to 896 and then to spkrs, no problem. What doesn't work: When I use a MIDI track in DP to talk to a hardware synth, in this case ...

DP and Kontakt....DP doesn't see Kontakt

Hi all. I recently bit the bullet and bought K2 for my sampler. Unfortunately, it is not showing up in my project/add track/add instrument track dialogue.

I also have Absynth 4 and B4 II, and they are showing up and working fine.

Help?
Thanks,
Darrell

New 896HD behaving badly?

Hi all. Just purchased an 896HD and got it home. I had used a friend's 896HD once, and it worked 'ok' for me---never really dug into the manual. This one is confounding me a bit. I have Main Out 1/2 as default stereo output, and yeah, I hear it in my spkrs. But, when I turn the 'monitor level' butto...

Things have changed in the DP/Mac world. Here's my situation: I'm running DP 5.01 on a Macbook pro. I have a MOTU Midiexpress XT for a M...
