Have finally managed to get a USB version of MTP AV. The MOTU tech was (eventually) correct. While I tried everthing to get the two parallel version to work together with no luck at all, a parallel model connected to the USB model that is attached to the PC is now recognised. I have finally got 16 M...

Bamim2, just to let you know I'm working on your advice. Not working porperly just yet but selecting base setups on first unit now automatically selects same setup on second unit. Also the "Net" lights are (correctly) lighting up independent of clockworks running on host PC. I think you ma...

I forgot to say, I don't think the units are sync'ing up. I tried pressing the play button in Clockworks on the PC, having set to defaults, Internal, 30fps and Record, the timecode on the first (1-8) unit started moving, like Clockworks was showing on the PC, but the second (9-16) unit didn't. Tried...

Hey there bamim2, I have spent most of the weekend trying to get the MIDI ports 9-16 to show up in Windows. I have read and re-read everything you have written. I have tried everything just as you have written it and many other ways as well. I have gotten the second unit to start saving settings, wh...

Bi-directional is not an option in the BIOS, it only has SPP, EPP, ECP and EPP+ECP. Which do you suggest? Either ECP setting screws up the driver detection phase and it trys to install the crazy "PC Flyer" thing. SPP or EPP allow the MTP AVs to work OK. IRQ 7 and IO address 378 are my curr...

With regards to the manual, the clockworks manual is available for download on the motu website. You need to register to download it. MOTU was apparently selling the MTP AV manual, around the middle of last year (August 2008), for $20. Don't know if this included delivery. And extracts from the MTP ...

Hi bamim2,

Can you please post as much technical infomation about your system, hardware and software, (when all 16 MIDI ports worked) as possible? I'm still talking to MOTU and want to try to pin them down on what they know and are not saying.

Thanks

You have got to be kidding! The site administrator is now taking time to join in the attack on me for posting about a MOTU device he considers "pretty much dead". What kind of forum is this? Did I miss the line in the forum rules that says you can only post about MOTU devices manufactured ...

Its true, some computers being built today don't have parallel ports but you seem to have totally missed the point that MOTU's manual supplied with the MIDI Timepiece AV claimed that networking two parallel port versions would work under Windows OS but it never did. It was a lie. I wonder how many o...

I tried one under Windows XP and its internal drivers assumed the device connected was a printer. So completely useless.

After 7 weeks of being asked questions by MOTU technical support, this is what they say about networking two parallel port versions of the MIDI Timepiece AV under Windows: "Upon further investigation, networking two MTPAV's will only work in Windows XP if the unit connected to your computer is ...
