Model12 Issues (since installing DP9)
Posted: Sun Jul 26, 2015 10:07 am
Hi, all, forgive me if I'm duplicating questions buried in an old thread, but I couldn't find anything relevant. Since I installed DP9 a few days ago, I've found two issues with Model 12 (which to be honest has pretty well always been the flakiest thing in my setup and the ultimate moral is probably "Stop using Model 12"). I'm curious if anyone has encountered the same issues; I already put a TechLink in about the first one.
1. Won't read samples from an aliased directory: I have several directories of drum / percussion samples which I've made available to Model 12 by putting aliases to the sample folders in ~/Library/Application Support/MOTU/Model 12. This has worked great for years. Now, not so great. It will not load any files from those aliased directories. Furthermore, if I use an existing preset that has sounds from aliased directories loaded, then many of the controls associated with that sample slot don't work. In particular, the up/down spinner buttons and popup menu to choose a new sample (or even clear the sample) don't work.
2. I generally set, for example, all my hi-hats in Model 12 to output to AUX2, and then I make a stereo Aux track with input from "Model 12-1 Aux 2 L-R". Only now, when I go to choose an input for my track, the list of inputs DOESN'T include the L-R outputs that I'm expecting but has a bunch of montrosities like "Model 12-1 Aux 1 R-Model 12-1 Aux 2 L" and sure enough it receives the right half of Aux 1 (my kick drums, say) and the left of Aux 2 (my hats). What.... I mean, what? Why is that even a thing? Why is there no connection for both stereo halves of one Model 12 AUX? Am I missing something obvious?
OS X 10.9.4, for what it's worth, Mac Pro with 8GB of RAM. Both problems occur both in DP9 and in DP8 if I go back to that just to check. Any insights would be appreciated. Cheers!
