Help!! MIDI System Crash.

Post by rocketsgalore »

I'm trying to run DP and it won't start up b/c it's giving me an error-
"Digital Performer is unable to run because the MIDI system has crashed. Please quit any programs that are using MIDI and try again." It was running fine a day ago. Then I spent the day working in PT and now when I try to boot DP and it won't work. The only thing that I can think of the may have changed things was a OS X security update. Oh yeah it's DP 4.6. Can anyone please help me get up and running? I'm on the road and need to get some work done.

Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here? I am now able to get DP to load when I have the Mlan driver running but not when I just use built in audio. But.... if I load it with Mlan and then close the Mlan driver I can get it to run on built in audio. Please give me your thoughts if you have any idea. Thanks! Ryan

Ghost Town but...

Post by rocketsgalore »

Well I guess with the ghost town like lack of response, I must be the only one who has experienced this problem. The good news is that I found a solution. I found where the MIDI drivers are kept and removed them 1 by 1 until DP launched. The offending driver was DigiDioMidiDriver.plugin Does anyone know what this is? Thanks!!!

Fwiw- I've been having the same problem, except I'm still using 4.12 and I was trying to get my iBook to talk to a Motu Fastlane, and everytime it would crash DP. I couldn't even get the driver installed properly into my iBook. I fear it may be time to upgrade to Tiger and 4.6.

I had my audio drivers go bad and I removed them and reinstalled them and it worked fine again.
