You might want to experiment with a different brand of MIDI interface.
Unitors and AMT8s are pretty funky these days. The problems are
mounting. Try something more modern (like the still in production MOTU
8x8). I find that even my old Emagic MT4 works better than an AMT8
these days.

Also, if you're going to stick with Unitors. Open them all up and push
the eternal ePROM down to reseat it. These work their way out of the
socket with repeated heating/cooling cycles.

Hi All,
  I know this combo is a dying breed, but I am surprised that it is still
somewhat function-able. About 3 weeks into this setup and have a few issues, but
not much more problematic than old L7/TDM7 setup. Many of the native audio
benefits of L9 are handy.

Only a few audiosuites are working.
L9 doesn't retain the linked DAE stereo files once you cut them on arrange.
Still getting a weird bug when I drag an object (env  or arrange object) I
occasionally get a TDM crash. Some kind of graphics bug.

Anyone else using this setup care to report?

Thanks,

Mark

Dear all,

I've a Schaltwerk with 8 tracks each on a different midi channel. I'd like to
record the previously programmed pattern into Logic without transferring track
by track. How can I record (midi-bounce) the whole pattern to 8 different midi
tracks into Logic in one take?

A similar question would be how can I even play different sound modules (or plug
ins instruments) using different master keyboards since I have 5 Unitor 8's
cascaded? i.e. can I use my Matrix 12 to trigger/play/record my SE1x and at the
same time (live session) having my mate playing the K2500 and
triggering/playing/recording the Prophet VS rack using LP9 without creating a
hugely complex environment that I ahve to change each time I want to play
another sound module (plug in instrument).

Many thanks for any suggestion

Dear all,

since I've upgraded to Logic Pro 9 my midi routing behaves strange.

My setup is a MacPro Quad Core with 8GB RAM on OSX 10.5.8 using 5 Unitor 8s. On
Port 9 I've connected my Kyma and on port 5 my CM Labs Motormix that should
control only the Kyma.

On the LP previous versions the display massages on the Motormix was reflecting
the messages from Kyma correctly (these are send via Sysex to Motormix).

Now everything works apart from those sysex messages and I don't know why. Is
there any kind of filter on LP9?

I've obviously checked that there weren't set any filter on a preference basis
or project settings and none were ticked.

On the Project settings I've also ticked on the Midi Sysex Thru function in the
Midi settings general tab... I was just able to get one brief message sent from
Kyma to the MM and that was it. All the faders and buttons work correctly.

  When I connect the MM to the Kymna directly all messages are there.

Unfortunately MM has no Midi Thru box so that I can't use the direct connection
in the setup and to be honest I rather don't buy a little thru box, because it
used to work.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Best regards,

Sven

Great! That's really interesting........

Now Bog off.

Dear!

How are you doing ?

I found a good website last week: www.tv-laptop.com

One of my friend bought a notebook and he got the product in one week. Its
quality is very good and the price is competitive.

They also sell Laptop,TV,Games,Camera,Motorcycles and so on.

By the way, they import product from Korea Japan and sell new and original
products. They have good reputation and have many good feedbacks.

Now , the Christmas day is coming, this website will be a good choice for you. I
am sure you will get many surprise and benefits.

Greetings!

I'm quite happy with my 2006 MBP 2.3 GHz/3 GB RAM/320 GB disk. I use a
Metric Halo ULN-8 as i/o. I record/playback to an external esata disk
via a cheap esata express card.
I get very low latency using the ULN-8 mixer and FX for band
rehearsals etc. The MBP works surprisingly well with a 64 sample
hardware buffer (using the ULN-8).
The ULN sounds vastly superior to a 192. Really world class sound.

My MBP, Logic Pro & Core Audio are a very efficient combo, I can do
complete album productions with it. But my needs are small compared to
some of my clients with big  TDM rigs.
Typically I use maybe 12 audio tracks, 6 virtual instruments and maybe
20 plug ins @ 44.1 kHz. I can easily record/playback 50 tracks @
44.1/24-bit, I just don't need so many tracks.
The 3 GB RAM(max RAM for my MBP) is sometimes a bit of a limit.


With TDM, you can have low latency in record and playback without
thinking about it. And you have a guaranteed number of tracks. A
native rig still needs some more pre-planning.

I sold my TDM rigs years ago(in the G4 era), I had some regrets at
first but now I am not missing it at all.

The only viable current portable machine is the17" MBP because it has
an express card slot. You don't want to mix disks and interfaces on
the same FW bus, at least not for big productions.

What really taxes the MBP is a combination of say the Logic B3 organ ,
a huge grand piano sampler instrument(Ivory) and a big drum VI all
played live at the same time with a small buffer. Logic 8 (and
presumably 9 too) uses only one CPU for  all the real time(live)
stuff, so this is tricky. Don't know if a 2009 MBP is much better in
this regard, I noticed the same behaviour on an 2008 octocore MacPro.
The octocore also will also run out of steam on the live CPU, even
with the other 7 cores doing nothing.
For playback and mixing, the CPU load is spread evenly over all the
cores available, so no problems at this stage of a production.
