I have a G5 using DP 5.13 an older macbook pro with Kontakt 4 and DP 6.01, motu 896,motu MIDI xpress xt, and a Yamaha M08. and a couple external drives
Campbell at motu has been nothing less than amazing helping me replace my 896 for 100 bucks ..(Thanks I got the tip here) and has helped me somewhat configure the macbook as a slave to the Mo8 usb to the G5.
I can create a network to get MIDI from laptop to G5 I am wondering if I can use M08 to get MIDI to this also.
OK so..

Sorry for the long introduction I am very impressed with this forum and felt its time for me to chime in.
