I got it to work! A $5 25-pin to 25-pin cable from Fry's works perfectly, connecting the PC Parallel port to the existing printer port on the PC. Carefully following MOTU's install instructions for parallel port usage yielded the entire MTP AV showing up to my audio apps. I am a happy camper! $20 fo...

Help with a serial port MIDI Timepiece AV

I just picked up a used MIDI Timepiece AV this morning, no manual. It's the pre-USB version -- i.e. it's serial (parallel?) I'd like to use it on a second softsynth PC of mine. But I just realized I don't have the serial/parallel port. So I need to figure out how to add one. First, what type of conn...

Re: DP 4.6 IS OUT

on the vi issue, make sure that the instrument track is assigned to a valid output. maybe something got screwy with your outputs during the upgrade - if the output is italicized then the vi would instantiate but not show its panel (just as you describe)

Re: Best Orch sample lib for M5?

going back to the topic (an orch library for m5) - neither gpo nor ewqlso qualifies since they're not released in any m5-compatible format. i don't know a lot of other libraries. you could always go for vsl and get the exs version and import it into m5. that would be one of the best but still very e...

Re: Best Orch sample lib for M5?

i got both garritan personal orch and the east-west quantum leap silver. there is NO comparison between the two -- the ewqlso library is heads and tails better. the garritan sounds like a cheesy synth module from 15 years ago. i respect gary's expertise and his qualifications, but gpo is a HUGE disa...
